May have seen more flowers sold than 

 in any other week of the year, but it 

 has become a well recognized fact that, 

 no matter how strong the demand, there 

 is a price limit beyond which the buy- 

 ers will not go. The result is that quo- 

 tations on low-priced stock are advanc- 

 ing while those on the best grades are 

 being shaded to tempt the buyers. 



There is no likelihood of a heavy sup- 

 ply of carnations for Memorial day. 

 Conditions are such that the only in- 

 crease over the Mothers' day supply 

 will be such as brighter and warmer 

 weather may make. Koses will be in 

 large supply, offering excellent values, 

 especially in the longer grades. Sweet 

 peas are between crops, but these never 

 are in special request for Memorial day. 

 There will be plenty of giganteum and 

 calla lilies, snapdragon, Spanish iris, 

 cape jasmine, etc. 



But the most important flower of the 

 occasion is the peony. The season seems 

 to have been exceptionally favorable 

 for the growers at the south end of the 

 state and they are sending large quan- 

 tities of stock that looks good and which 

 is being put away in the warehouse of 

 the Western Cold Storage Co., awaiting 

 the week of special demand. The sea- 

 son is so backward there will be no

local peonies this Memorial day. The 

 belief in the market, however, is that 

 the supply from south of Chicago will 

 equal all Memorial day demands, with 

 an unwieldy quantity to be contended 

 with when the local crops come on. 

 There is only one concern planning to 

 carry any in storage beyond June 30. 



Various Notes. 



The Chicago retail florists did more 

 to push Mothers' day than ever before, 



and consequently had a better trade. 

 The Fleischman Floral Co. and the 

 Alpha Floral Co. published especially 

 strong advertisements in the leading 

 daily. A majority of the better class 

 stores put in special Mothers' day win- 

 dow decorations. 



There has been an unusual call for 

 high class funeral work, three successive 

 days being marked by the funerals of 

 leading citizens: Chauncy Blair, of the 

 Corn Exchange bank; W. A. Gardner,
