ycai-; tiny arr iiii-t'. cloaii llowors, 

 fliotiyli sKiall, and the average stciiis arc 

 licit long. White is the only scarce \ a 

 riety. 



Carnations are aliout gone. Quaiiti 

 ties still come in, Imt most of them are 

 too poor to ship, or even to sell over 

 the coiuitei-, and the growers soon will 

 throw them out for replanting. Indoor 

 sweet peas also are near the end ot' their 

 season; few of them are good enough 

 to s(dl and the growers are busy plant- 

 ing mums ill jdace of the peas. The 

 supjily of giganteum lilies has gone 

 down and the jirice has gone up. 



Peonies are running low; only thiee 

 lots remain in storage and two of these 

 are small quantities. Peonies have been 

 selling well since the supply was got 

 under control and good prices arc being 

 realized. 



Outdoor flowers are more abundant, 

 but aside from gladioli they arc not 

 much of a markid factoi-. The local cut 

 of gladioli has begun and the sufiply 

 will increase ra|>idly. These promise to 

 be the standby of tJie market for the 

 next few weeks, available in any quan- 

 tity n<'cessary to meet the deman<is of 

 the retailers. 



The greens situation is quiet. There 

 is a fidl line, but occasionally asparagus 

 bundles run short, as the Florida grow- 

 ers ship intermittently. 



Sam Pearce Retires. 



For some time Sam I'earce has been 

 telling liis frii'nds that many years of 

 liard and continuous work were liegin- 

 ning to wear on his health, and that he 

 would like to sell out and retire. 



Xow comes tlie announcement tliat lie 



has made au arrangement with the E. V. 

 Amling Co. to take over the greenhouse 

 |ii()]ierty, and that iMr. Pearce and his 

 two sons will sail from New York July 8 

 for ;\ holiday in Kiirojie. 



Sam Pearce has attained ^\-orld wiib' 

 f.mie as a forcer of bulbs. With about 

 40,0(10 feet of glass intensively oper- 

 ated, lie has s}iecialized on bulb forcing 

 and has attained a skill and volume per- 

 haps unequalle<l in the United States. 

 His nani(> is known in Japan, Holland, 

 France, England and the Guernsey 

 Island as well as here. Mr. Pearce has 

 been a hard and tireless worker for 

 many years and has earned tlic ability 

 to retire. 



C. J. Michelscn states that the Pearce 

 greenhouses will be operated by the 

 same crew of employees without change 

 of policy. JTenry Wehrman, one of the
