 affect their value. 



Roses have been extremely plentiful 

 in the shorter grades. Variety seems less 

 important now; length of stem is more 

 so. Of course there are few long-stem- 

 med roses; most of them are shorts, some 

 are medium. It is the medium-stemmed 

 roses that are wanted. 



Easter lilies have declined in sym- 

 pathy with the general market.

 down or that the new horticultural hall, 

 which was erected on its site, should 

 have been supplanted in favor by the 

 Bellevue-Stratford. Under these condi- 



tions it was best for the society to sell
