npHE original Album of Designs was published in response to many itjquests from florists who felt the need for 

 ■l an up-to-date book that could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, 

 Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not practicable to show the customer the finished article as 

 it would be when ready for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to show the finished work 

 in beautifully printed pictures. The first edition sold like hot cakes, a second and third edition went quickly. Now 

 a fourth edition is off the press. Everything is in it— all the standard designs and many new pieces. 



96 pages, nearly 300 designs and decorations, beautifully printed on 

 iieavy art paper, handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear

able. The supply of Brunners con- 

 tinues light and they bring good prices. 

 Prima Donna is proving a good summer 

 rose. Of the other offerings, Ophelia, 

 Sunburst, Double White Killarney and 

 the specialties all bring good prices. 

 None of the low-grade stock was offered 

 June 2 under $10 per thousand and for 

 the selected No. 2 grade many were sold 

 at double that quotation. 



Carnations are easily holding their ex- 

 cellent average. Tlowers of the first 



class were not selling under $4 per 

 hundred Saturday. Others ranged down 

 to $2 per hundred. There was no sur- 

 plus. If there is any oversupply in the 

 market, it is in longiflorum lilies, on 

 which prices have fallen to $6 per hun- 

 dred for the fine, long-stemmed flowers, 

 and from that down to $3 per hundred 

 for the short-stemmed. 



Valley now is of poor quality, espe- 

 cially the outdoor stock, and the demand 

 is only for the best, in anticipation of 



the flood of June weddings, which al-

 were selling at 40 cents each Saturday. 

 They were selected gigas. 



Lilacs are over and will be out of the 

 market by the end of the present week. 

 But the peonies slip into the breach and 

 there is an abundance of them. The 

 supply has been coming from the south,

 in the market. The southern shipments 

 have not been satisfactory, the buds
