Decoration Day Prospects. 



There is a general belief that the Dec- 

 oration day demand will exceed any- 

 thing heretofore known in this market. 

 Everything is shaping up to bring a 

 flood of last-minute orders. In the first 

 place there is the experience at Christ- 

 mas, Easter and Mothers ' day, when the 

 demand far exceeded the supply. In 

 the second place, weather conditions are 

 such that outdoor flowers will be less 

 abundant than usual, resulting in in- 

 creased demand for greenhouse flowers. 

 Then there is the shortage of peonies, 

 which will result in turning many buy- 

 ers to indoor flowers. Word comes from 

 Alvin, Tex., that the jasmines are late 

 and most of the shippers booked up to 

 their limit. 



Memorial day has been recognized as 

 a time when the public does not look for 

 high-priced flowers, but there is a be- 

 Kef that this year fair prices will be 

 paid without objection. There is no 

 disposition to charge all that the traffic 

 will bear, advance orders being booked 

 at moderate increases over last year's 

 prices. For instance, where advance 



orders for good carnations were taken 

 at $50 to $60 per thousand last year, $80 

 is the figure this year. On roses there 

 is little advance on the best grades, but 

 the early demand for short roses is so 

 heavy that it is apparent there will not 

 be enough to go around and prices on 

 this grade have been advanced. Sweet 

 peas will be abundant. The shortage of 

 peonies will be the principal factor in 

 this market. 



Greenhouse Builders Busy. 



The greenhouse construction com- 

 panies are busy, in some cases busier 

 than at any time in the last five years. 

 There are some large orders and a great 

 many smaller ones, enough to insure a 

 summer that will keep everyone on the 

 jump.
