McCALLUWI CO., PITTSBURGH, PA. 



American Beauty roses that brought 

 $10 per dozen half a month ago now 

 may be had in hundred lots at that 

 price, and still there is little sale. 

 Roses ordinarily worth $12 and $15 per 

 hundred hang fire at $2. Last week 

 carnations slumped to $15 and $20 per 

 thousand. Calla lilies, which with 

 Easter lilies are being thrown away by 

 the hundreds, are expected to be in 

 good demand the end of this week for 

 church decorations incident to Moth- 

 ers' day. Early orders find the quota- 

 tions at $12.50 per hundred. 



Snapdragon is as good as has ever 

 been seen here. America and Augusta 

 gladioli are exceptionally fine and are 

 selling well at $8 and $10 per hundred. 

 Some good irises are also oflfered. Lu- 

 pines, white and yellow daisies, cowslips 

 and other spring flowers are in fair de- 

 mand. Sweet peas are so plentiful that 

 fakers refuse to buy them at $2 per 

 thousand. Lilacs and fruit blossoms 

 are further demoralizing the market. 

 An unusual feature of the market is 

 the continued availability of violets and 

 daffodils. 



Club Meeting. 



Mothers' day was the principal topic 

 of discussion at the May meeting of 

 the Florists' Club of Washington, D. C. 

 It was declared by several speakers that 

 the requirement of a white carnation in 

 memory of mothers should be modified 

 so that any white flowers would be ap- 

 propriate for the occasion. 



The question of a testimonial to Miss 

 Anna Jarvis, founder of Mothers' day, 

 ■was brought before the club members 

 in a letter from Robert Kift, of Phila- 

 ■delphia, asking the local men to con- 

 tribute to a fund for that purpose. The 

 following resolution was adopted: 



Besolved, That It is the sense of the Florists' 

 Club of Washington, D. C, that some suitable 

 recognition should be made on behalf of Miss 

 Anna Jarvis on account of the Idea advanced, 

 and the labor and effort expended by her In the 

 promotion of Mothers' day, which has already 

 proven beneficial to all of the florists of the 

 country, and that the subject is one which should 

 receive the attention of the S. A. F. to the end 

 that this object may be accomplished. 



Harry Ley exhibited a handsome pot 



of pink rambler roses, as yet unnamed. 



He told the members that these came 



in a couple of weeks before Lady Gay. 



The blooms are scented and the plants 



are excellent for outdoor use. The pot
