cidedly short of the demand. Enchant- 

 ress, of all the varieties, is available 

 in quantity. Splits still form a dis- 

 agreeably large proportion of the re- 

 ceipts. However, the wholesalers are 

 experiencing little difficulty in dispos- 

 ing of their carnations, but the buyer 

 must be up betimes and on the job if 

 he wishes to secure good stock for his 

 customers. 



Bulbous stock is erratic in supply, 

 one day plentiful and the next day 

 short. Taking it by and large, though, 

 there is always enough available to sat- 

 isfy the demand. Paper Whites are al- 

 most a memory. Callas are reveling 

 in a season of unwonted popularity. 

 Easter lilies pursiiW the even tenor of 

 their way, undisturbed by the change 

 about them, and finding their place on 

 the unusually large number of funeral 

 orders. Violets are sufficiently numer- 

 ous to meet the demand, to say the 

 least; the average price last week was 

 the lowest of the season. The sweet 

 pea situation is much easier, as there 

 is a large supply of excellent stock on 

 the market. Calendula remains short. 

 Snapdragon is arriving in quantity and 

 moves readily. Cattleyas are short 

 enough to be much sought. Valley 

 growers, following their usual "safety 

 first" policy, have their product well 

 on the abort side of the market this 

 week. 



Greens, in harmony with the general 

 market, are moving in a highly satis- 

 factory manner. 



Various Notes. 



The interest of C. L. Sb«rer in the 

 wholesale cut flower house of the J6hn' 

 Kruchten Co. has been sold to Nicholas 

 Kruchten, Jr., who will succeed him as 

 secretary. Mr. Sharer will hereafter be 

 identified with the firm of Kyle & 

 Foerster. 



Prepare for War When Peace is Here 



Now is the time to shop around. Pon't do your shopping 

 while the holiday rush is on. 



If you have bought from us, you know. If you have not, now 

 is the time to try us. True, stock is a bit less plentiful, 

 but we are still well supplied. 



A trial order now, just a small one, will put us both in the 

 position where we will know what to do when the holiday 

 rush is with us, and stock is scarce and costly, and time 

 is valuable. 



A house that has stood for over thirty years is worth trying.
