Business the last week was quite dull 

 and low prices were the rule in nearly 

 all lines. There is usually a quiet spell 

 just before Memorial day and condi- 

 tions this year do not vary greatly from 

 former years. A week hence will see 

 quite different conditions, as every- 

 thing points to a record-breaking Me- 

 morial day business. The first heat 

 wave of the year struck New England 

 May 21, when a minimum official tem- 

 perature of 94 degrees was recorded. 

 A continuance of the hot wave May 22 

 and 23 shot the market all to pieces, 

 and the present week opened with de- 

 moralized conditions, which cooler 

 weather alone can stabilize. 



Roses have suffered from the heat 

 wave and are not in good condition. 

 Extremely low prices rule. Short- 

 stemmed prices are unquotable at pres- 

 ent. Carnations are temporarily in the 

 doldrums, but will brace up in a day or 

 two. Light pink varieties, like Pink 

 Delight and Enchantress Supreme, are 

 now poor and of almost washed out 

 color. Ward sells well, also Laddie, 

 but the latter is not plentiful now. 

 Whites are in good supply, Matchless 

 filling about the whole field.

Sweet peas are still plentiful. Calen- 

 dulas are about over. Marguerites are 

 a glut at present. Bachelor's buttons 

 of good quality are in fair demand. 

 Outdoor lily of the valley is at its 

 height and the quality is fine. It will, 

 however, be practically all gone before 

 Memorial day. Snapdragon is in heavy 



do you sell 

 to the ladies? 



certainly! 



€L then you must know 

 how they appreciate 

 anything: you do to give 

 them just a little added 

 feelinsr of joy in their 

 floral purchases. 



€L take for instance your 

 potted plants — 



€L you know that almost 

 any woman would be 

 doubly pleased if you 

 covered the unsififhtly 

 flower pot with one of 

 these classic, handsome, 

 practical Jardinieres. 



€L and the small, yet im- 

 portant added service 

 will cost you but a few 

 cents per pot — you could 

 really afford to give 

 them away — some flo- 

 rists charsfe extra.
