week, quality is much better than it 

 has been for some time. Considering 

 the time of year, other roses have sold 

 •well, too, though at a comparatively 

 low figure. There are few long Killar- 

 neys on the market. In fact, most of 

 the stock is of the shorter grades. 



The cool weather has gone far to 

 hold carnations in shape, but they are 

 slipping and few good ones now are 

 found on the market. These, of course, 

 sell readily and the poor ones are 

 jobbed off. Valley, at last, is loosen- 

 ing. It has sold at unusual prices 

 through June, good stock bringing 6 

 cents on the closing days of the month. 

 Easter lilies are plentiful and refuse 

 to clear. Among the more recent ar- 

 rivals on the market is Lilium candi- 

 dum. This, unlike most things that are 

 new, sells slowly at low prices. Cat- 

 tleyas, as a matter of course, are scarce, 

 though not so much so as they were a 

 few weeks back. Sweet peas are in 

 large supply, but are going down in 

 quality. There are, to be sure, a few 

 good ones on the market, but most of 

 them are short in stem and soft. Some 

 excellent Shasta daisies are coming into 

 the market and they meet, as usual, a 

 good demand. Although there is a 

 quantity of outdoor gladioli, they do 

 not move as rapidly as one would ex- 

 pect. 



Cold storage peonies are still with us 

 and there is every prospect of a fairly 

 large supply of northern-grown stock 

 arriving on the market before many 

 days. Cornflowers, coreopsis, gaillar- 

 dias, candytuft, feverfew and gypso- 

 philas are clearing. 



The green goods situation, regulating

There is a reason why the Kennicott 

 Quality Cuts are so popular — they 

 stand up no matter how hot the weather.

Emil Eeichling, who has been emi- 

 nently successful with Peter Eeinberg's 

 establishment, is a believer in own 

 root roses; the place was largely in 



grafted stock when he assumed the su- 

 perintendency, but he is throwing it out 

 and replanting with own root. This 

 year not a grafted plant went into any 

 of the forty-two houses replanted with 

 young stock. Mr. Reichling is of the 

 opinion that where one man succeeds 

 better with grafted stock another may
