more than enough to go around, which 

 has caused a drop in price. Valley is 

 about equal to the call. A large sup- 

 ply of violets is arriving, more than 

 enough for immediate needs, and the 

 price of these is lower than last week. 



The quantity of Easter lilies coming 

 easily takes care of present orders, while 

 eallas continue on the short side. A 

 shortage of calendulas continues. Sweet 

 peas continue on the short side; the sup- 

 ply of long-stemmed Spencers is not 

 enough to take care 6f the orders. Paper 

 Whites are more plentiful, while yellow 

 narcissi continue on the short side. 

 Tulips have arrived. Stevia is scarce. 

 The supply of all other seasonable cut 

 stock is large enough to take care of all 

 orders. 



There is enough of everything in green 

 goods. 



The attention of the wholesalers and 

 retailers is directed toward St. Valen- 

 tine's day, and it is the general opinion 

 that, with so many soldiers back in this 

 country and with many returned to 

 civilian life, we shall experience the big- 

 gest St. Valentine's day trade in the 

 history of the business. This statement 

 is backed by many of the large supply 

 houses, which report orders for corsage 

 and basket material for this day coming 

 in rather heavily so far in advance. 



Great Oaks from Acorns. 



There are hundreds, probably thou- 

 sands, of florists who have started in 

 the business while still employed at 

 something else, so it is not a matter for 

 remark except that nearly all who start 

 in that manner make a success and soon 

 devote all their energies to the business.

 man conductor does a flower business at 

 both ends of an overland run, but so far 

 as reported C. L. Fies is the only din- 

 iug-car chef who also is a florist. He 

 has a run out of Chicago on the New 

 York Central Lines and is doing a nice 

 little florists' business at 8007 Constance 

 avenue, steadily increasing and soon 

 likely to make other employment impos- 

 sible. One might guess that Mrs. Fies 

 looks after the business during her hus- 

 band 's absence on the road and that 

 both are enthusiastic flower lovers. 



Getting Together. 



Now that the retailers have an asso- 

 ciation, the wholesalers having had one 

 for some little time, the plans are to get 

 together for the general well-being of 

 the flower business. 



The first step was taken by the re- 

 tailers, who appointed a committee con- 

 sisting of President L. R. Bohannon,
