of the roses was excellent and the busi- 

 ness done was highly satisfactory. 



Sweet peas were the mtit plentiful 

 of flowers. Weather conditions were 

 favorable and the picks were enormous. 

 The price was from $4 per hundred 

 downward according to the quality of 

 the peas, but hundreds of thousands of 

 long-stemmed peas sold at from $3 to 

 $4 and only a small part of the week's 

 receipts were let go at less than $2. 

 Some of the houses carried over a few 

 peas, but nothing by comparison with 

 the huge quantities handled. It was the 

 most profitable week most of the sweet 

 pea growers ever have experienced. 



Passing the three leaders, carnations, 

 roses and sweet peas, the other itemg^ 

 were comparatively insignificant. The 

 Tennessee peony crop began coming in 

 just in time. One wholesaler had quite 

 a few and several had small quantities. 

 They sold extremely well, good stock 

 bringing 15 cents and lower grades not 

 going under 10 cents, selling as fast as 

 received until May 10. This week the 

 supply exceeds the demand. There were 

 considerable quantities of Darwin tulips 

 and smaller supplies of jonquils, which 

 sold splendidly. Easter lilies did not 

 clean up, nor did callas, although many 

 were sold. Snapdragons sold well if 

 good, but there were rather many too 

 poor to find favor. Pansies were popu-

lar. There were unusual quantities of 

 yeUow daisies, but none too many. Cat- 

 tleyas were scarce. Valley cleaned up. 

 The wholesalers one and all say that 

 it was a wonderful week, breaking rec- 

 ords right and left. The shipping was 

 tremendous. Thursday and Friday, May 



6 and 7, were the big days. Flowew 

 were shipped literally by the carload. 

 The fiowers went everywhere, but 

 mainly to the larger cities; prices were 

 too high for the country towns to buy 

 heavily. 

 The retailers also are well pleased
