pay the price last week, and this^ week 

 the supply has so increased that prices 

 have fallen sharply, the denaand ^ejiug 

 nothing like what it was just before or 

 just after Mothers' day. Numerous 

 growers say they will be in fuH crop 

 for Memorial day if the present bright, 

 springlike weather holds. Wholesalers 

 are beginniiig to fear that the high 

 prices charged for Mothers' day will 

 have a bad effect qn the demand for 

 carnations for Memorial day. A big 

 business can be handled and unless or- 

 delrs come in more freely ttian haa been 

 the case thus far there will be a break 

 in prices. 



Koses are beginning to feel the eflffect 

 of easing conditions in other depart- 

 ments. There have been about enough 

 roses right along, but they have sold 

 particularly well because other flowers 

 were scarce. Now that other stock is 

 coming in more freely the call for roses 

 is easing up. There is plenty of fine 

 stock. Beauties are not especially 

 good, nor are they in special request. 

 The best stock sells fairly well, but 

 the low grades this week must be 

 jobbed to move them. 



There has been an improved call for 

 valley and daisies have sprung into 

 favor. Moderate supplies of eattleyas 

 suffice for the demand. Gladioli are 

 everywhere, not in large quantities, but 

 plenty for the demand. Bulbous stock 

 is limited to outdoor tulips. The Par- 

 rots sell well. Sweet peas are not the 

 important item they were a few weeks 

 ago. While a few growers still pick in 

 quantity, the general supply is much 

 reduced and the qu^ity of most -of the 

 stock is only me^um. Peas stin sell 

 well, as there is no other flower at

present competing sharply for the cor- 

 sage trade, which increases each year. 

 Snapdragon has fallen back; the qual- 

 ity also is off with most of the growers. 

 Spanish iris is about gone; nobody 

 wants the outdoor irises. Lilies are not 

 so plentiful as they were, but are more 

 than equal to the demand. Smilax is 

 scarce. Asparagus strings so seldom are 

 available that there is scarcely any call. 

 Southern dagger ferns of the new crop 

 are offered in quantity at low prices, 

 but most buyers prefer to pay the extra 

 money for the fancy ferns from stor- 

 age; this market does not like dagger 

 ferns.
