was the most noted item on the list, this 

 being the most used flower at this season. 

 For the last two weeks the shortage has 

 Teached the acute stage. This has had 

 the tendency to run the prices up to 

 about whore they were last year. When 

 the grower is asked for the cause of the 

 shortage, the only reply one can get is, 

 "They are off crop." The weather has 

 certainly been fine, and there are more 

 roses being grown this year. It surely 

 seems a coincidence that everyone should 

 have a short crop at the same time. One 

 Hignificant fact evident to the writer is, 

 there has never been a season when 

 roses were of such quality as they have 

 been this season. Perhaps the growers 

 are sacrificing quantity for quality. If 

 such be the case, I would say that the 

 market is badly in need of more roses, 

 and good returns can be had for medium- 

 grade stock. Give this some thought, 

 Mr. Grower, and see if you cannot re- 

 lieve the situation. 



Carnations were scarce also last week; 

 perhaps I should not say scarce, for there 

 was a large supply on the market, but 

 not sufficient to meet the demand. They 

 were sold up closely each day. Some 

 fancy varieties were to be seen; but, 

 unlike the rose situation, the majority 

 were of medium grade. Sweet peas are 

 coming in much better supply and of 

 finer quality. The growers predict that 

 with a few days of sunshine there will 

 be a fine supply. Violets are also com- 

 ing in better shape, and here again the 

 quality is all that could be desired. 

 Some bulbous stock is beginning to 

 make its appearance, such as tulips and 

 hyacinths, but not in heavy supply. All 

 miscellaneous stock is scarce. In short, 

 there was not enough stock on the mar- 

 ket last week to meet the demand. 

 When we consider prices, they were what 

 a short market usually creates. The 

 public seems determined to have flowers, 

 even if the price is high.

A New Year's Thought 



Let us team to feel the joy in things that ate simple and universal — in the 

 beauty of the dawn, of sunsrt and of floweis. Let us cultivate a feeling of 

 tenderness for all living crratures, frcm the dumb ard patient aninnals to our 

 brother man. Would you learn these deeper values in life? Study the flowon.
