Price reductions are of common oc- 

 currence these days and the strenuous 

 times of the last two months are a mat- 

 ter of history until another year rolls 

 around. Publicity is rapidly being 

 given to the fact that prices are lower 

 now and the general flower-buying pub- 

 lic will soon acquire the old. habit of 

 buying flowers for the home. 



Roses have dropped fifty per cent on 

 the best grades, but the short-stemmed 

 stock is still quoted at high prices. 

 Carnations are now quoted at $6 per 

 hundred, with inferior grades selling 

 according to quality. Calendulas are 

 better, having longer stems and larger 

 flowers. Princess of Wales violets are 

 fine and are quoted at $1 per hundred. 

 Sweet peas, like everything else, have 

 come down to a level where reasonable 

 prices will sell the vast quantities that 

 are now available. Frecsias and Paper 

 Whites are quoted around $6 per hun- 

 dred and maintain their standard of 

 excellence. Single daffodils are arriv- 

 ing in sufficient quantities to meet all 

 requirements. Tulips of all colors are 

 now available and single Dutch hya- 

 cinths are proving good sellers. 



Leucothoe foliage was a scarce article 

 last week and the reports from the 

 pickers show that the flu has made such 

 inroads on the helpers that the shippers 

 are unable to get enough hands to fill 

 orders that are piled up. The stock that 

 is arriving is short and of inferior 

 quality. Other greens are arriving in 

 sufficient quantities to meet all needs. 

 In pot plants, cinerarias and Primula 

 obconica are good sellers. 



With the slowing up of the flu, the 

 falling off of funeral work is percepti- 

 ble. Taken as a whole, the business is 

 rapidly adjusting itself and normal 

 conditions will shortly prevail.
