Mums and roses must be classed as 

 the leaders in current offerings. Local 

 retaUers say that the California ship- 

 pers have been charging prices so high 

 this season that heavy sales at retail 

 are out of the question, since the public 

 generally refuses to meet the figures 

 which must be asked. Express company 

 officials advise that total shipments on 

 early mums from California have been 

 lighter this year than in any recent sea- 

 son. The early deliveries of local-grown 

 stock have been a certain factor in cre- 

 ating this condition, but prices have 

 really been the big consideration. 

 Turner, Bonnaffon and pompons consti- 

 tute the chief offerings to date, but sev- 

 eral growers will have bronze ready 

 soon. The cut of pompons has been 

 heavy and these have sold freely. 



Eoses are showing a healthy increase 

 ill quantity, with the demand generally 

 heavy enough to care for all receipts. 

 Several growers note such a gain on 

 Wards that their offerings on this va- 

 riety equal their cut of Ophelia. Rus- 

 sell, Columbia and Cecile Brunner are 

 plentiful. Local violets are being used 

 rather freely in corsage work, the ex- 

 press charges on California stock pre- 

 venting any shipping as yet. Bouvardia 

 and stcphanotis are also popular in such 

 combinations. The cut of orchids is 

 sufficient to meet trade demands. 



What are figured as the last deliveries 

 of gladioli came in last week, but dah- 

 lias are still offered in fair quantities. 

 Delphinium is a recent novelty, but the 

 quality does not make for fast turn- 

 over. African marigolds show excellent 

 color, although inclined to be short of 

 stem. Carnations are still short of nor- 

 mal deliveries, but show further im- 

 provement as to quality. 



Business in potted offerings is per- 

 haps a little slower, but in many sliops 

 these sales continue to be a good share 

 of the business. Cyclamens are in fine 

 color and strong, which makes for a 

 ready sale, and the widest variety of 

 ferns seen here this season is available. 



Chrysanthemums 



We will have about 40,000 well grown Chrysan- 

 themums for sale this year, all of good quality. 

 Prices will be reasonable.

I'liniiosos ;md pompons make up the ro- 

 niaiiulcr of the list. 



A feature of recent fern sales in a 

 number of shops lias been the showing 



of fern baskets instead of single plants, 

 three, four or five ferns being placed in 

 novelty baskets or specially made 

 wooden boxes.
