in the market were being centered on 

 preparations for Memorial day. The 

 present prospect is that the supply of 

 stock will be more nearly adequate than 

 was thought possible before the heat 

 wave came. A return to cooler condi- 

 tions was regarded as a lifesaver and 

 everyone hopes that we shall have cool 

 weather for the balance of the week. 



It is doubtful if this market ever had 

 so many advance orders on hand at any 

 one time as was the case May 24. Not 

 only were the orders exceptionally nu- 

 merous, but they were of great size. 

 The orders afforded assurance of an 

 enormous week's business, in volume 

 though not in value probably the great- 

 est in the history of the market. 



The chief uncertainty is as to peonies. 

 May 24 there was a smaller quantity in 

 cold storage than has been the case at 

 this date in many years. Numerous 

 growers whose crop ordinarily has been 

 cut and""put away in the freezer by May 

 24 this year had not cut a flower at that 

 date. If their crops make Memorial 

 day the flowers will be shipped direct 

 from the fields. In many cases whole- 

 salers have arranged that shipments be 

 made from the growers, the stock not to 

 come to Chicago at all, an arrangement 

 impossible in a normal season. Evans- 

 ville, one of the chief sources of sup- 

 ply, did not begin shipping in quantity 

 this year until May 20. Carbondale has 

 just begun. Alton and Onarga are not 

 yet ready. It looks as though the peony 

 supply will be short this Memorial day.
