Carnations are small and of poor keep- 

 ing quality. The white varieties are 

 especially poor, Enchantress holding up 

 best. However, there is a continual de- 

 mand for them and probably will be 

 until asters appear to take their place. 

 A few blooms of the new rose, Premier, 

 are coming into the market, but it is not 

 at its best, as the flowers are cut from 

 young stock. There is a limited supply 

 of Easter lilies, orchids and valley. 

 Shasta daisies are showing up well, as 

 are also gaillardias, coreopsis and other 

 leading perennials. Gypsophila is being 

 used to a large extent. 



Hydrangea arborescens is arriving in 

 large quantities and is making a splen- 

 did showing. 



Various Notes. 



The opening of the large Eowland 

 Furniture Co. July 9 occasioned a heavy 

 demand on all retailers for baskets and 

 novel arrangements of all kinds in sea- 

 sonable flowers, particularly Hydrangea 

 arborescens, gladioli, Russell and Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses. The many thousands 

 of cut roses and carnations given away 

 at this opening were furnished by the 

 New Haven Floral Co. 



Handsome summer gladioli are being 

 featured by the Flick Floral Co. They 

 had a number of weddings and a steady 

 call for funeral work last week. 



Miss Alice Flick, of the store force of 

 the Flick Floral Co., has gone to Clear 

 lake, Ind., where she is spending a 

 week's vacation. 



W. J. & M. S. Vescy are cutting some 

 fine blooms of the new rose, Premier, 

 from young stock. They are having an 

 enormous demand for cattleyas and can- 

 not begin to fill all the orders, although 

 they are having a good cut of them. 



Miss Catherine Vesey, who has been 

 one of the principals in the Soldiers' 

 Players, organized at Camp Taylor, has 

 returned home to spend the summer 

 months with her parents. Judge and Mrs. 

 W. J. Vesey. Miss Vesey has been do- 

 ing war work for a year and a half. 

 Her sister, Miss Margaret V^esey, is still 

 at Camp Taylor. R. F. B. 



Erie, DL — The Erie Greenhouses had 

 the best spring business they ever en- 

 joyed, and will put up several more 

 houses this summer. They expect to do 

 some wholesale business in 2-inch and 

 3-inch bedding plants.
