was considered a fair estimate of the 

 effect on the flower business of changed 

 general business conditions. As a mat- 

 ter of fact, more roses were handled 

 this year at the higher price than last 

 year at the lower price, though there 

 was no urgent demand affecting the 

 market either time. 



There are only three items of stock 

 offered in sufficient quantity to be 

 worthy of special mention. These are 

 • roses, gladioli and asters. The miscel- 

 laneoua items are less numerous than 

 for a long tim« an^ the quaiLtity.of each 

 available is so. sn^all that an occasional 

 combination of two or three orders 



serves to make the flowers hard to find. 

 There is a considerable increase in the 

 supply of roses, numerous growers mak- 

 ing the first cut from young stock. 

 Beauties are again more plentiful and 

 are selling well, especially those cut 

 from young plants. The demand for 

 long Beauties is limited at this time of 

 the year, but they are still bringing 

 much better prices than last summer. 

 The three principal roses are Columbia, 

 Russell and Premier, the quantity avail- 

 able being in the order stated, in most 

 houses. Other varieties also are in large 

 supply and any rose needs can be met, 

 especially if short stems will do. 



Gladioli have accumulated for the 

 first time in several weeks. The better 

 grades of stock still are selling well, 

 but inferior stock is sold with consid- 

 erable difficulty. There are large sup- 

 plies of asters, but most of them are 

 rather poor, the flowers being small and 

 the stems short. They are only useful 

 for work. 



Greens of all kinds are in good sup- 

 ply.
