the favorite, with Columbia second, but 

 with Premier rapidly forging to the 

 front. Some houses report a special de- 

 mand for Sunburst and others say there 

 is a good call for Milady in spite of the 

 tradition that red is not wanted in hot 

 weather. There are few white roses 

 now on this market and they command 

 a small premium. 



This market never is entirely out of 

 carnations, some of the outdoor stock 

 and then the earliest of the new indoor 

 stock overlapping the disappearing 

 crop, but the supply at present is in- 

 significant. Nor are there many asters. 

 The long drought has practically fin- 

 ished off the early crop; if there are any 

 asters this year, they will be shipped 

 in or will come from irrigated fields. 



Oladioli are much more abundant 

 than they were last week and the price 

 has fallen to a point where they can be 

 used with freedom. There is a marked 

 improvement in the gladioli this year; 

 it isn't all America now. A dozen or 

 more of the good, new sorts are avail- 

 able in quantity. The quality, in spite 

 of the drought, is excellent and work 

 made with present-day gladioli is high- 

 ly pleasing to the public.

There still are a few peonies in cold 

 storage, but not enough to cut any 

 figure in the market; besides, peonies 

 that have been in the freezer for a 

 month are not safe to ship. Large cat- 

 tleyas still command fancy prices, but 

 the demand has subsided to the point 

 where small-flowered varieties do not 

 find ready purchasers. The supply of 

 valley is so small that 12 cents is asked 

 for the best. The small supply of sweet 

 peas is a problem for the wholesalers; 



in the high heat they find it difficult to 

 get the growers presentable returns. 

 The market is full of feverfew and 

 gypsophila. Easter lilies are coming in 

 quantity from a few growers. Greens 

 are abundant. 



Budlong's Eoses. 



In common with most of the other 

 rose growers, A. H. Budlong has been 

 reducing his list of varieties during the 

 last two or three years; where there
