as the wholesale fraternity. The flower 

 buying public did not bestir itself to 

 any great extent until the morning of 

 May 13. For a brief spell the demand 

 flourished luxuriantly, and then came 

 the rain. Of course there were inter- 

 missions in the downpour and of these 

 the buying public cheerfully took ad- 

 vantage. Mothers' day was a repeti- 

 tion of Saturday on an intensified scale. 

 All of this did not prevent the day 

 from being a really notable success, but 

 one cannot help reflecting on the possi- 

 bilities had it not rained. 



Beauties in all lengths cleared dur- 

 ing tbe week preceding the holiday. 

 Quality was good, then. This week, as 

 a result of the weather conditions, qual- 

 ity leaves much to be desired. White 

 Killarney has been waiting many long 

 months for its day, but it came with 



Mothers'. The strongest demand was 

 for short-stemmed White Killarney, and 

 when these were exhausted the longer 

 grades were seized upon eagerly. No 

 one variety of rose, however, could sat- 

 isfy such a demand as that of last 

 week, and by May 12 almost every va- 

 riety was rapidly tending to the short 

 side of the market. 



Carnations, though decidedly scarce, 

 were not so short as the preceding 

 weeks had led the trade to expect. 

 Pickled stock was much in evidence. 

 The white varieties, it is needless to 

 say, were out of the question, generally 

 speaking. In spite of the glamour and 

 rush of the holiday, sweet peas lost not 

 one whit of their popularity. In direct 

 contrast to them, callas dragged their 

 long lengths into the market, but could 

 not drag them out. Easter lilies fared 



somewhat better. Valley remained 

 close enough to the short side of the 

 market to be interesting. There was a 

 wonderfully good demand for cattleyas, 

 but there was no supply. Peonies 

 served in many cases as a life-saver. 

 The supply, though by no means large, 

 was sufficient to mark peonies as one 

 of the features of the market. This 

 week the greater part of the receipts 

 are going into, storage. Daisies, daffo- 

 dils, calendulas, snapdragons, iris and 

 gladioli found a reasonably good mar- 

 ket, but were necessarily subordinate 

 to the standard items. Gardenias sold 

 well. So' too did pansies. Lilac, both 

 purple and white, is arriving on the 

 market in large quantities. As to de- 

 mand, there is no difficulty in moving 

 all that reaches the market. 



Demand for green goods was in every
