 a pump and blower. Growers are in- 

 vited to drop in and have a look. 



C. L. Washburn says that, in so far as 

 prices go, the market is back to 1917, 

 the year of war, before the flu. In the 

 interval the trade has of course ex- 

 panded greatly and there are today 



many more flower buyers than four 

 years ago. In Mr. Washburn 's view, 

 this will be a season of small profits for 

 growers, the cost of operation having 

 been reduced only slightly and most of 

 the items being incurred, or contracted, 

 before anyone could tell what the busi- 

 ness would be like. NoV that flowers 



are wholesaling at, say, thirty per cent 

 less than last year,' Mr. Washburn 

 thinks retailers should sell cheaper and 

 thus put flowers within the roach of an 

 increased number of people. He believes 

 that holding prices up will breed in- 

 creased outside competition for the re- 

 tailers.
