Stock is declared to be unusually 

 poor. Were it not for a few thousand 

 fairly good locally grown roses coming 

 in each day, it often would be impossi- 

 ble to fill orders for these flowers. 

 Dahlias are improving slowly. Hydran- 

 gea paniculata grandiflora now is at 

 its best and helps out greatly with the 

 general shortage now present. It is 

 more than welcome, as it makes a good 

 showing, particularly so now that the 

 gladiolus and aster crops have almost 

 gone oflf the market. 



The old carnations have finished their 

 work and the new stock has not yet 

 made its appearance. There still are 

 a few gardenias to be had and these 

 are being snapped up at good prices, 

 even up to $6 per dozen, because of the 

 shortage of orchids and valley. There 

 is practically none of the latter pro- 

 duced here, and what is shipped in from 

 northern points is soft and poor gen- 

 erally, even without thinking of the 

 prohibitive price the grower must get 

 for it. 



Funeral work is good and there comes 

 a fairly good wedding order every once 

 in a while, and occasionally a decora- 

 tion. During the last week there were 

 several fair-sized decorations in town, 

 while the Warrenton, Va., horse show 

 brought good business to at least one 

 local florist. It is unusual to receive 

 orders for house decorations during the 

 month of August, but nevertheless they 

 are being booked. This probably is due
