The month of May had a glorious clos- 

 ing in the Memorial day trade, which 

 according to florists was the heaviest 

 Memorial day business they have ever 

 known. Gfreat preparations had been 

 made for this day on account of its par- 

 ticular significance in honoring the 

 heroes of the great war. Business 

 showed that there was no miscalculation 

 in the florists' predictions that this 

 would be the greatest Memorial day on 

 record. The weather was perfect dur- 

 ing the several days preceding Decora- 

 tion day and, while the day itself was 

 warm, there was not the proverbial rain 

 storm, and the big demand continued 

 all through the morning until time for 

 the mammoth parade. 



There was « decided preference for 

 cut flowers this year, although the bed- 

 ding plant business was tremendous for 

 a week before the holiday. A great 

 many flowers, already made up in sprays 

 or bouquets tor cemetery use, were sold. 

 There was not such a great demand for 

 wreaths of galax or magnolia or other 

 foliage this year as there has been other 

 years. There was a plentiful supply 

 of roses, but the leading flower of Memo- 

 rial day, the peony, was almost unob- 

 tainable. There were few home-grown 

 peonies on the market, and those that 

 were shipped in from eastern or western 

 markets were far from perfect, most of 

 them being tight in bud and of excep- 

 tionally small proportions. These were 

 quoted at 12 cents wholesale and the 

 retail price charged was $2.50 per dozen. 

 Carnations were short and some florists 

 sold the white varieties for $1.50 and 

 the colored for $2 per dozen. Gladioli, 

 of the greenhouse variety, sold well for 

 the holiday because they were large and 

 showy. They brought $3 per dozen. 

 Double Narcissus poeticus met with a 

 good call at $1 per dozen. Gardenias 

 sold at 75 cents per dozen. Sweet peas 

 brought 75 cents per bunch. Hydran- 

 geas and marguerites sold well in plants, 

 outside of the regular bedding stock. 

 Snapdragons were readily sold at $2 per 

 dozen. The demand since the holiday 

 has been good, with funeral work steady 

 and a fair amount of wedding orders for 

 the next two weeks. E. F. B. 



Beaumont, Tex.— There was a tre- 

 mendous demand for white carnations 

 in this city Mothers' day, but the sup- 

 ply was not nearly large enough. Most 

 customers accepted substitutes.
