flower were more or less unsatisfactory. 

 Owing to the strong association of car- 

 nations with Mothers' day and the light 

 supply, everything was sold, good or 

 bad, at high prices, but there have been 

 some complaints since. The outlook in 

 rc:Tnrd to carnations is not considered 

 favonible. Most of the supply reaching 

 this market lias been grown by the 

 Japanese and it is noted that many of 

 the growc-rs have recently replaced their 

 carnations, either entirely or partly, 

 witli roses. 



Ecses are tlie backbone of the market 

 here, lieading the list of seasonable 

 stock in both quantity and quality. 

 Outdoor roses, as well as greenhouse 

 offerings, sliow fine quality and each 

 dny sees the supply cleaned up. Amer- 

 ican Kcautics are more plentiful, while 

 there i<» nn especially fine cut of Russell, 

 Oj)helia, rolunibia and Rrunner. 



Trises are -irriving (piite freely. The 

 finality leaves nothing to be desired and 

 they sell well. A few greenhouse 

 glndioli are ai)))earing, which find ready 

 sale. More sweet pens could be used 

 .'ind tiie same may be said of orchids 

 and gr.r(le;iias. 



In flrweriu'T plants rhododendrons 

 nnd hvdr.ino'eas make a fine showing 

 :ir! ! somi especially fine specimens of 

 calceolarias are prominently displayed 

 at rhe retail stores. 



All indientions point to a heavy Mc- 

 uiorial day husiress. The shippers have 

 orders f^n file which will require large 

 quantities of flowers and the local de- 

 mfuid is expected easily to take care of 

 ail other available stock.
