the needs of critical trade. Most of the 

 shipping orders call for roses and these 

 are the beat flowers the season affords, 

 which is not saying that all the roses are 

 good. As a matter of fact, a large part 

 of each day's receipts are the first cut 

 from young plants and naturally have 

 short and thin stems, small flowers, fre- 

 quently wide open. There are, however, 

 moderate quantities of good Russell and 

 Columbia on long, strong stems. Premier 

 has improved rapidly, the supply also 

 having increased. Sunburst is scarce; 

 many times Ophelia is used in its place. 

 Outdoor carnations are seen in small 

 quantities, but most of them are poor, 

 while the indoor flowers, if clean, have 

 become extremely small. Because of the 

 shortage of flowers in general, the poor 

 carnations are selling better than one 

 might expect, and anything that is clean 

 and at all good brings a price that 

 should be highly satisfactory to the 

 grower. Moderate quantities of asters 

 are coming, but most of them show the 

 effects of bad weather conditions. The 

 aster crop is being ruined by the lack of 

 ryin. Nor arg gladioli so abundant as 

 they were last week, contrarjr to exr 

 pectations. The 'result iB that they are

selling well, the day's receipts nearly 

 always moving out before night at 

 prices which should give the growers a 

 profit. 



The variety of outdoor flowers has 

 been greatly reduced and there is little 

 coming from under glass outside the 

 staples. There are a few Easter liUes, 

 selling well for funeral work. Vallej is 

 in small supply, as are orchids, firm in 

 price, but not adding ^eatly tb the 



day's sales. Calendulas, coreopsis and 

 gaillardias are offered in small quantity, 

 but nobody wants them. Colored water 

 lilies are popular for rustic window dec- 

 orations. Gypsophila has become one of 

 the large items. There are greens of 

 all kinds. 



The workmen in the factories making 

 wood shipping boxes are on strike for 

 higjher wages. Some of the wholesalers 

 alrieady find their supply running short
