and outside growers. Large receipts of 

 these are expected for this week. Sweet 

 peas continue in great abundance, with 

 the bulk of them of poor quality. There 

 is also a heavy crop of roses coming in. 

 Kichmond and Killarney are in greatest 

 supplv. The best of them hardly went 

 over $6 per hundred at any time dur- 

 ing the week. Easter lilies and callas 

 continue in good supply. Carnations 

 are holding up well, but most of them 

 are showing the effects of the hot days. 

 Gladioli were and are plentiful at all 

 of the markets and promise to crowd 

 the market this week. The price is 

 down to $4 per hundred. Valley is in 

 demand and of good quality. Daisies, 

 both yellow and white, seem to take 



well with the trade. A great deal of 

 outdoor stock is coming in, 8uch as cape 

 jasmine, torget-me-nots, candytuft, fe- 

 verfew and larkspur; These, with peo- 

 nies, should be in large demand by the 

 end of the week, for Decoration day. 



Various Notes. 



The Retail Florists' Association held 

 its regular monthly meeting May 18 at 

 the Washington hotel. The meeting was 

 not well attended. President Harry 

 Young presided. An application for 

 membership was filed. After disposing 

 of all the business on hand, a discussion 

 was started in regard to summer meet- 

 ings, and it was decided by vote to hold 

 no meetings during the months of June, 



,Iuly and August. The next meeting 

 will be held September 21, although a 

 special meeting for urgent business may 

 be called at any time by the president. 



The County Growers ' Association will 

 hold its regular monthly meeting June 

 4 at the Eleven Mile house. President 

 Vennemann will, by that time, have 

 returned from his honeymoon trip and 

 will preside over the meeting. Secre- 

 tary Deutschmann is making arrange- 

 ments for the installation of the newly 

 elected officers and the members should 

 come out in full force to attiend this 

 meeting, as there is going to be some- 

 thing doing in the way of entertaining 

 by the new officers.
