WB ARE CLOSED ALL DAY SUNDAY 



cago never had a better supply of roses 

 than this spring, and Beauties may be 

 included in this list. 



It really is wonderful the way carna- 

 tions sell and hold tip in price. Of 

 course a number of rather large pro- 

 ducers went out of carnations last fall, 

 either closing their houses or growing 

 lettuce, which accounts for a reduction 

 in the supply of low grade carnations. 

 The quantity of fancy stock is more 

 nearly normal. Even with last week's 

 weak rose market carnations held up 

 in price and this week they are selling 

 so briskly that the prices have moved 

 up another notch; good shipping stock 

 is bringing 6 cents to 10 cents. 



The supply of miscellaneous flowers 

 is light. There are large quantities of 

 sweet peas, but other stock is in only 

 moderate supply. German iris is avail- 

 able in two or three colors, the yellow 

 selling best because of the scarcity of 

 other flowers of that color. The cut of 

 lilies which did not quite make Easter 

 has been used up and there are not many 

 callas. Violets disappeared last week.

There is considerable mignonette. Buy- 

 ers who want valley or daisies usually 

 find it well to speak early. Snapdragon 

 is less plentiful since Easter and calen- 

 dulas have ceased to be an important 

 item. Some nice lupines have been 



selling briskly and stocks, if good, sell 

 well. The bulbous stock has practically 

 disappeared. Cattleyas are on the short 

 side, Mossiae being the seasonal variety, 

 one which is not grown largely in this 

 neighborhood.
