large sujiplifs of stock, but liroiif;;ht 

 signs that a change is imminent. Kosos 

 will not bo in lieavy sujijily mueli longer. 

 Indeed, white roses are almost out of 

 the market at present, yellows are 

 scarce and red is in sueli wide demand 

 in comparison with the limited supjily 

 that it commands a ]iremium. Crusader 

 is much better liked than Milady and 

 brings more money than Premier or Rus- 

 sell. Pink has been too plentiful when 

 there were not enough red, white or yel- 

 low to fill all orders, liut rejilanting 

 and resting now are the order of the 

 day with the rose growers and tlie gen- 

 eral supply is on the rapid down grade. 

 It seems that this has been a poor 

 season from start to finish for carna- 

 tions. Getting a l)ad start as the re- 

 sult of last summer's heat and drought, 

 the plants have produced neither the ac- 



customed (|uniitity nor (juality. And 

 now it ajipears that they are running 

 out earlier than usual. The suiiply 

 surely is on the down grade, both as to 

 (piantity and quality. Last week car- 

 nations sold for G cents each, for 10 

 cents a bunch and for about all prices 

 between those extremes. 



The local peonies are in. With the 

 exce])tion of a few late varieties, the 

 flowers are cut or in full bloom. Much 

 of the crop has been sold as it came in, 

 fresh from the fields, and has brought 

 fair prices, all things considered. Stock 

 in condition to hold has been sent to 

 the cohi storage warehouse, where the 

 quantity now awaiting a call is not ex- 

 cessive. Those who have good peonies 

 in storage are confident they will have 

 good business in the next two or three 

 weeks. 



Sweet peas are abundant, but much 

 shorter in stem; tlie end of their season 

 seems near. Xew crops of lilies are in. 

 Valley is in such retiuest that the price 

 has stiffened. Gladioli are more plen- 

 tiful and are selling slowly. Larkspur 

 is here and sells wcdl. Daisies are hav- 

 ing their inning, especially the yellows, 

 for weddings. Orchids are not plenti- 

 ful, but some of tlu'm are exceptionally 

 fine. Garden flowers are arriving in in- 

 creasing (juantity, as it has been an ex- 

 ceptionally favorable growing season 

 for them. 



New ferns have not yet begun to ar- 

 rive in quantity and the old stock is 

 about gone; so there has been a scarcity.
