Flower & Supply Co., has been making 

 investigations and predicts that stock 

 will be scarce in some lines .and plenti- 

 ful in others for Memorial day. "The 

 uncertain weather we have been hav- 

 ing makes it hard to foretell what 

 will be in the market," said Mr. Inouo. 

 "The heat has already brought in some 

 of the stock that was being pinched 

 back for Memorial day. We have some 

 growers with large and unusually early 

 crops of statice, heliehrysum and acro- 

 dinium, and we arc shipping these in 

 preference to cut flowers, as there is loss 

 risk of their spoiling." 



Shcllgrain & Ritter have been busy 

 with funeral work, in addition to tlie 

 demand for Mothers' day. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. are using some 

 exceptionally fine delphiniums and or- 

 namental poppies in their many baskets 

 and other orders.

 kets for the saiiling that afternoon of 

 the Matsonia for Honolulu. \. C. and 

 Mrs. Podesta have just sent out cards 

 announcing the arrival of their first 

 son, Amadel Jack Podest.a, and the 

 young couple are receiving many con- 

 gratulations. 



B. Joseph published an attractive 

 Mothers' day advertisement, with a 

 copy of Whi'stler's "^fnther" in the 

 rotogravure section of a daily newspa- 

 per. It brought unusual returns, ac- 

 cording to B. Joseph and his staff.
