scarce. Carnations are no factor at all, 

 only a little inferior stock coming in. 



Only a few American Beauties are 

 arriving and these are readily disposed 

 of. Russells of all grades also are ex- 

 ceedingly scarce. Of the other varieties 

 of roses a considerable shortage of 

 longer stock is to be noticed, which of 

 course helps the shorter grades to obtain 

 better prices. The demand for roses of 

 all kinds is good but prices are not high. 



The supply of valley is just about 

 sufficient to meet a small demand. Or- 

 chids remain scarce. There are plenty 

 of Easter lilies. Outdoor-grown stocks 

 are arriving in larger quantities, but 

 they find only a poor market. There are 

 no good sweet peas to be seen on the 

 market. Gladioli are arriving in good 

 quantities and are of satisfactory 

 quality. Mrs. King and America are the 

 leaders. Augusta also finds a good sale, 

 but on the whole the white and mixed 

 varieties are not moving well. The 

 novelty varieties are in better supply 

 than ever before and sell well. There 

 is still a quantity of early asters. Good 

 stock, however, is not overplentiful 

 and is in fairly strong demand. Daises 

 remain plentifuL Giganteums are 

 abundant and rubrum lilies sell poorly. 

 Candytuft is almost over, as are snap- 

 dragons. Gypsophila arrives in ample 

 quantities and finds a receptive market. 



Various Notes. 



G. M. Reburn says he is well pleased 

 with the condition of business. "To 

 show you how it is," said ho, "in July I 

 received mail orders to the amount 

 of $4,115 from my classified ads in The 

 Review. The ads cost $35.05, or less 

 than one per cent of the sales." 



The bulb dealers received Harrisii and 

 amaryllis last week. French stock is 

 due any day. Japanese bulbs will be 

 late. Dutch stock is expected with con- 

 fidence now, but the date of shipment 

 is not yet known. 



A party of Lake Geneva and Lake 

 Forest gardeners was in town August 

 12 to take the 10:30 Lake Shore train
