The Florists^ Review 



June 14, 1917. 



Ferns have been in good demand and 

 the supply of good stock is about ex- 

 hausted. 



The cut flower trade is at a low ebb 

 now, with plenty of stock coming in. 

 Roses are of good quality, but the large 

 supply moves slowly. Carnations are 

 poor, and plentiful. There are few be- 

 sides White Enchantress. Peonies are 

 so abundant that they do not clear at 

 extremely low prices and many of them 

 are sent to the hospitals. 



Sweet peas have been rather scarce 

 and not enough to supply the demand. 

 Valley is in such small supply that white 

 sweet peas are being used as substitutes 

 for it. Some gladioli are making their 

 appearance and are sold quickly. 



Vegetable planting has hurt business 

 some, but the spring season as a whole 

 has been satisfactory to everyone.
