liest .Juno weoks on record. The month 

 thus far has boon one of plenty of sales, 

 lint of low values; the ])enultiniate week 

 of the month should, with the changed 

 situation as regards supply, see ])rices 

 baek where they belong. 



The close of the open air season for 

 ])eonies has been a large factor in 

 strengthening the market. Fresh cut 

 jieonies some days ago stopi)cd coming 

 in and the low-grade stock in storage 

 also has been worked off, so that the 

 jieonies now on hand are strictly high- 

 grade goods; indeed, they are being 

 held at prices the like of which have not 

 iR'en seen since the first week of the sea- 

 son. These peonies probably will hold 

 out for some time. Most of the houses 

 hope to clean out in June, but one or 

 two have arranged to maintain their 

 supply of peonies into July. 



Roses are dropping down to the sum- 

 mer standard, in supply, size of bud, 

 stem and price. There are not nearly 

 so many roses as a fortnight ago, but 

 the average quality is better and the 

 money income is at least as much as the 

 larger quantity produced earlier in the 

 month. The demand for red, white and 

 yellow continues unusually strong. 



Carnations are going fast. They 

 have deteriorated so rapidly in the last 

 few weeks that shipping them is pre- 

 carious, with the result that demand is 

 light and large quantities of low-grade 

 stock have been wasted. Consequently 

 many growers already have stopped 

 shipi)ing and before June is ended car- 

 nations will be in small supply. 



But as carnations go, gladioli come. 

 They will dominate the market before 

 many weeks have passed. Outdoor flow- 



ers are plentiful and some are fine, like 

 Delphinium Belladonna, largely used 

 with gladioli for basket and table work. 

 Candiduni lilies are here to take the 

 place of Easter lilies and calla.s, both 

 less plentiful than tOn days ago. Water 

 lilies also have arrived. Valley is in 

 good demand. So are sweet peas, Jput 

 good stock of the latter is not plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Otto Anding has taken over the 

 greenhouse establishment of his cousin, 

 Herbert Amling, at Maywood, and has 

 renamed it the Proviso Floral Co. This 

 is the establishment made famous by 

 the late W. H. Amling, who for many 

 years was one of the market's most 

 successful growers of chrysanthemums 

 and sweet peas. Herbert Amling has 

 gone to Pana to join his brothers.
