quality was never better, on the whole, 

 there being an abundance of good roses 

 of practically every variety grown ex- 

 tensively in this section, including Eus- 

 sell, Columbia and Ophelia. The Ameri- 

 can Beauties leave little to be desired. 

 Irish Elegance is plentiful and good, 

 and the demand was never better for 

 this rose. 



A much different situation prevails 

 in regard to carnations. Carnations are 

 on the short side of the market and the 

 quality runs to medium and poor, rather 

 than to first-class blooms. Many in- 

 quiries for these flowers, especially for 

 white ones, were received on shipping 

 orders for Mothers ' day, but few of the 

 shippers saw fit to risk the limited sup- 

 ply of good blooms by shipping any 

 considerable distance, past experience 

 having shown that good condition upon 

 arrival could not be guaranteed in the 

 case of carnations. Locally, there was 

 a strong tendency to get away from the 

 white carnation idea, but good white 

 carnations were considered good prop- 

 erty and were being held for high prices 

 as Mothers ' day drew near. 



Next to roses, the two items most in 

 evidence just now are peonies and irises. 

 The quality is excellent in both cases

and the demand brisk. Besides, there 

 is a wide variety of other flowers, such 

 as snapdragons, mignonette, myosotis, 

 delphiniums, daisies, gaillardias, pan- 

 sies, stocks, lilacs, etc, which manage 

 to clean up in fairly good shape from 

 day to day. There is a heavy cut of 



gardenias and the same may be said of 

 orchids. 



In flowering plants, there are still 

 many hydrangeas and rhododendrons, 

 which were left over from Easter and 

 are now past their prime. Greens are 

 sufficient for requirements.
