down grade; the cuts are going -off with 

 some growers and others are emptying 

 their benches. There are no quantities 

 of miscellaneous flowers in sight, even 

 cape jasmines being late, but there is 

 the probability that there will be quite 

 a few peonies for Mothers' day this 

 year; several southern plantations are 

 just now attaining an age to give their 

 first good early cuts. 



The weather is helping at present. 

 Some good growers estimate that the 

 cold, dark weather the week before 

 Easter had the result of reducing the 

 Easter supply by as much as twenty- 

 five per cent, but the cool weather since 

 Easter has served to prolong the crops; 

 the cool weather is making flowers for 

 Mothers* day, while hot weather would 

 shorten the supply. There are scarcely 

 any pot plants in sight for Mothers' 

 day. 



It is perfectly apparent that there 

 will be the largest demand thus far ex- 

 perienced for this new May flower day. 



Bond Sales Progressing. 



L. R. Bohannon and his Victory loan 

 committee are feeling much encouraged 

 over the progress recently made. While 

 some of the growers still seem inclined 

 to subscribe through the organizations 

 in their home towns, instead of through 

 the trade committee, several others have 

 handed the florists' committee good 

 subscriptions and it seems probable 

 that the trade may reach its quota. 



Henry Wehrman, with several assist- 

 ants in an automobile, canvassed the 

 growers west of the city last week and 

 in almost every instance secured a du- 

 plicate of the subscription made for the 

 fourth loan. The Albert F. Amling Co., 

 Maywood, has taken $10,000 of bonds 

 through the trade committee and Mr. 

 Wells, manager of Budlong's Gardens, 

 has taken $5,000. Both these are sub- 

 scriptions not on the list for the fourth 

 loan. The committee now has to com- 

 bat a disposition to hold back until the 

 close of the drive. It urges everyone 

 to turn in subscriptions at the earliest 

 possible moment. 



Various Notes. 



Alois Frey has returned to Crown 

 Point after his trip to California.
