 ticipation of a better market for them 

 after their regular season is over. 



The Plant Market. 



A careful survey of the field leads to 

 the belief that the spring plant busi- 

 uess is below par at this time. It is true 

 that there was activity at Memorial 

 day, that nearly all the geraniums in 

 flower were sent out; but it is also true 

 the cold, wet weather during May 

 caused so much delay in planting out 

 that today the volume of sales is be- 

 hind that of previous years. While 

 much was expected in June and some of 

 the hopes may still be realized, it will 

 take hard work to make up the ground 

 lost. 



The decline in the demand for soft- 

 wooded bedding plants is due partly to 

 the war scare, with its absorbing inter- 



est in vegetable planting, and partly to 

 the change in public taste, now lean- 

 ing toward Darwin tulips and peren- 

 nials. Geraniums have felt the lack of 

 support; so have cannas and nearly all 

 of the small flowering plants. The 

 wholesale prices on these plants have 

 varied more this season than ever be- 

 fore. Some of the growers asked and 

 obtained the advanced prices until the 

 end of the first week in June, to the no 

 small benefit of their returns. Others 

 asked last year's prices. Still others 

 were between. Today the prices have 

 fallen and with such excellent stock 

 they afford unusual values to those with 

 belated orders.
