stock, tlic sc.'isoii is ;it least two weeks 

 late and there will Ik' few outdoor llow- 

 «rs. Not only lias tlie obserxaiu-e of tlie 

 day Itccoiiie jrciieral, hut the war talk 

 will have the efT"eet of hiiii<i;iiiji tli(> an- 

 niversary more into tlu' i»nl)lic's 

 tliontjhts than usual. All those factors 

 slioiild stinuilate the demand f)n this 

 market. 



In the matter of sn|i|)ly, the indoor 

 cro])s will Ije al)ont normal. Hosi' <jrow- 

 ers are busy replantinjr, but more j)lants 

 than usual are to be carried over and 

 the rose snjii)ly will be, in all proba- 

 bility, larfjer tlian last year. Carnation 

 •cro](s are on the u|) ^rade and the cuts 

 will be heavy by May 'IH. If the weather 

 floes not turn suddenly too warm the 

 quality of the carnations will be un- 

 \isually fjood this Memorial day. There 

 will be ;i decrease in the supply of 

 Texas ca])e Jasmines, but this will not 

 be rejjretted liere. The otlier outdoor 

 special llower of the day, liowever, is of 

 much conscMjuence. The so-called south- 

 ern crop of ])eonies seems to be cominfj 

 just rijxlit. In (piantity there will be 

 enouj:j]i, but not too many; the quality 

 is excellent and the <late of blooming 

 late enoufrh so that ]»rotractod cold 

 :storage will not be necessary. There 

 ••seems small chance of any local peonies 

 ■coming on the market until early June 

 this year.

 shoiibl arrange at once to sow a few 

 llats of vegetable seeds, such as lettuce, 

 tonmtoes, jiepper plants, eggplants, 

 beets, cabbages and any other varieties 

 of vegetable jilants that are easily trans- 

 jilanted. When these plants are ready 

 for rejilanting, notify F. Lauten- 

 schlagcr, 444 West Erie street, Chicago, 

 who will make arrangements to have 

 these plants delivered to the chief of 

 the Garden Bureau of Chicago for dis- 

 tribution among the people who will 

 ]dant community gardens. Every grower 

 can help.
