war, while an enormous demand in Cali- 

 fornia has absorbed the mum supply of 

 that state. As in other cities, the epi- 

 demic of influenza is sweeping over this 

 territory and taking an awful toll. There 

 IS not only a shortage of cut flowers, 

 but the supply of ferns and other greens 

 from California is inadequate. The flo- 

 rists have been looking everywhere for 

 flowers of any description from private 

 gardens, in order to meet the tremen- 

 dous demand for funeral flowers. Gar- 

 den chrysanthemums and dahlias are im- 

 portant items in design work. 



The mountains surrounding this city 

 are now capped with snow, and Jack 

 Frost is destroying valuable garden flow- 

 ers. As the chrysanthemum season in 

 California has passed its prime and 

 garden flowers have gone, flower market 

 conditions will be more acute from 

 now on. 



The demand for Holland bulbs is 

 greater this year than ever before and

Let us tell you about them. 



florists who received shipments this 

 week are selling them out rapidly. The 

 demand for high-grade tulips and named 

 varieties of peonies is increased many 

 fold this year, but hyacinths are not 

 moving so rapidly as last year. Perhaps 

 the reduced demand for hyacinth bulbs 

 is due to the closing of all classes of 

 schools temporarily. As soon as schools 

 open the demand may increase. 



Various Notes. 



A rumor is current that by 1919 a 

 large nursery that will devote full ca- 

 pacity to the culture of indoor roses 

 is to be established near this city. Ne- 

 gotiations for the purchase of a 10-aere 

 tract are now in progress, it is said.
