all these special orders, even though the 

 market was full of pink roses, white 

 carnations, Easter lilies and peonies. 



The rose supply is now on the down 

 grade. Clear weather conditions, cou- 

 jilcd with seasonable replanting and 

 resting operations, have reduced the cut. 

 Flowers are of summer size, but of im- 

 proved quality. 



The heat no doul)t hastened the end 

 of the carnation season. There was 

 considerable stock lost last week and 

 average prices were so low that growers 

 soon will start throwing out their poor- 

 est houses and the supply probably will 

 go down rapidly, until only a few good 

 houses are being carried along. 



A few peonies come straggling in 

 from the north, but practically all the 

 cut either has been moved or is in stor- 

 age. The result is that prices have stiff- 



ened for all good flowers, whereas any- 

 thing coming out of storage in doubt- 

 ful condition is sold over the counter 

 for what it will bring. It is the general 

 opinion that good peonies will now be 

 good property, at least for a couple of 

 weeks. Gladioli are much more abun- 

 dant. It is said the local outdoor crops 

 will be ready before the end of June. 

 There are many fine flowers coming from 

 those who planted under glass and quan- 

 tities of southern outdoor gladioli are 

 received each day. They have not sold 

 at all well during the time of the glutted 

 market, but should do better now. 

 Sweet peas have been about finished un- 

 der glass; last week's high heat was too 

 much 'for them. There are too many 

 Easter lilies. Larkspur, gaillardias and 

 other outdoor flowers are plentiful and 

 good. 



The new ferns have not come along as 

 fast as was expected, but neither have 

 those who had cold storage stock been 

 able to sell out as quickly as they ex- 

 pected. Consequently the fern market 

 is in an unsettled condition. Much of 

 the stock is of poor quality.

 of a local daily: 



The speedometer s.iid sixty miles an lioiir.

He said it was the life.
