Cattleyas were not particularly abun- 

 dant, but prices remained within the 

 range of the previous week. Gardenias 

 continued in large supply and moved 

 slowly. Valley was plentiful, but moved 

 well. The wedding season is a big 

 factor in the movement of this subject. 

 Some outdoor-grown valley of good 

 quality arrived and brought a fair 

 price. There was a good supply of 

 white lilies and prices continued to 

 hold up. 



The supply of callas was large and 

 their movement was slow. Spanish iris 

 was prominent and met with a fair de- 

 mand. Cut blooms of German iris were 

 also to be noticed, but the demand for 

 them was shy. 



Miscellaneous flowers continue to ar- 

 rive abundantly. Ranunculus and sweet 

 Williams were added to the already 

 large li^t. The supply of lilac is not 

 expected to be so large this season as 

 formerly, for the reason that much 

 southern stock has been ruined by 

 heavy late frosts. Several large ship- 

 pers of peonies from sections south of 

 New York state reported that they will 

 only be able to cut about ten per cent 

 of their average peony crop, as the 

 frost has killed all the early buds. The 

 prospect for peonies for Memorial day 

 is now narrowed down to northern sup- 

 plies and it is not expected that the 

 local crops will last out, even in the 

 late varieties. Yellow daisies were un- 

 usually abundant and sales were drag- 

 ging. Sweet peas shortened up consid- 

 erably, but some fair quality stock was 

 coming in. Antirrhinum, mignonette 

 and delphinium met a fair demand. 



Various Notes. 



Herman Mamitsch, of Rockville Cen- 

 ter, N. Y., has acquired property at 

 Tenafly, N. J., on which he will erect 

 greenhouses in the near future. On ac- 

 count of the health of his wife, he will 

 move from his present location as soon 

 as he has disposed of the greenhouses. 



The Du Pont estate, at Roslyn, L. I., 

 which was recently completed at a cost 

 of $1,500,000, was sold at auction Sat- 

 urday, April 23, for $470,000. The resi- 

 dence, which was built for the late wife 

 of Alfred I. Du Pont, was never oc- 

 cupied. The purchaser was Howard C. 

 Phipps, who comes of a family horticul- 

 turally inclined. Consequently, flower 

 show enthusiasts believe he will prove 

 to be quite an acquisition to the ranks 

 of exhibitors at our flower shows. 



The florists' interests of Hempstead, 

 L. I., are increased through the opening 

 of a store opposite the railroad depot 

 under the name of the Bureau of Agri- 



A beautiful, green enameled, adjustable 



Plant Stand 



It has a range la height from 26 to 52 

 inches, and you will find it invaluable 

 for decorative purposes and the display 

 of plants and baskets in your store and
