 of the year started early in the day and 

 business dropped dead. 



Paragraphing the principal items, 

 roses were not in oversupply. During 

 the rush it \v:i.s not always possible to 

 get just the grade and variety wanted 

 and some orders were cut, but the fact 

 fhat wholesv.lers sold large quantities 

 to e.H'h other shows that there was no 

 general shortage. Prices were well 

 maintained except on the longest stems. 

 Kaster dotvs not call for a large propor- 

 tion of extra sjjeeials and many of these 

 had to go with the lower grades. There 

 were considerable quantities of roses 

 whicli had been held too long and which 

 were a source of <lisappointment. 



Not only were carnation orders filled

 caught enough orders to clean up. A lot 

 of fine stock was put away Saturday 

 night and was still in the icebo.xes Mon- 

 (!av morning. Average prices will dis- 

 appoint the growers. The unexpectedly 

 large receipts might have cleaned up if 

 the early quotations had been lower. 

 The price asked deterred the retailers 

 from taking large lots. 



Lilies are worth a separate chapter. 



Pweet peas suffered from the extreme 

 heat early in the week and the subse- 

 quent drop in temperature. There were 

 few other flowers suitable for corsages 

 and Saturday the market was bare of 

 good peas. Cattleyas were scarce. Vio-
