earlier and prices risen faster than 

 was generally anticipated. 



At the opening of the present week 

 it was the general report among the 

 wholesale houses that they had booked 

 as many orders as they expected to be 

 able to fill. Almost without exception 

 it was said that the supply of stock 

 then in sight was smaller than had been 

 expected, the demand fully as strong 

 as anyone looked for and prices up to 

 the advance quotations. This was par- 

 ticularly true of short roses and of 

 carnations. Buyers seeking these 

 items found sellers reluctant to book 

 orders, even though offered prices above 

 the advance quotations. 



It is the general opinion that orders 

 will have to be cut when the Mothers' 

 day shipments are going out. The de- 

 mand promises to call for far more 

 flowers than are available except, per- 

 haps, of the longest roses. The reduc- 

 tion in the supply is partly due to re- 

 planting operations, but principally is 



lann.

the result of unusually cool weather 

 for this time of year. The danger now 

 lies in a sudden heat wave, just as 

 shipments are made. Such a thing has 

 happened before and with unforgetable 



results. The market now hopes for a 

 continuance of the cool weather until 

 May 9. Given this favor, the quality 

 of stock will be excellent although the 

 quantity will suffer.
