Mothers' Day Business. 



Growers of carnations made every 

 effort to have a heavy cut of blooms 

 ready, and there was a larger supply 

 than ever before seen at Mothers' day, 

 but there nevertheless were only about 

 half enough blooms to meet the demand. 

 All the roses and other miscellaneous cut 

 flowers were taken, but even at that 

 many buyers were disappointed because 

 they could not get a flower to wear. 

 Carnations, all colors, retailed at $1

 sold at $1.50 if the dealers had asked 

 for it. Special effort had to be made to 

 get the stock ready; the cost is greater

It was by far the best Mothers' day 

 business ever experienced in Portland. 



The weather remains cool and damp. 

 So far this month only three days of 

 bright sunshine have been seen — the 

 finest weather for lawn grass imagina- 

 ble, but too cold for flower beds and 

 porch decorations.
