solutely unsalable and wagon loads of 

 ruined flowers had to be carted away. 

 A change to cooler conditions May 29 

 and 30 saved many flowers and pre- 

 vented complete disaster, but it is safe 

 to say that growers, salesmen, retailers 

 and wholesalers never have experienced 

 such conditions for Memorial day trade 

 and hope never to see such again. 



As usual, large quantities of pickled 

 stock appeared and most of this went to 

 the rubbish heap. Good carnations May 

 29 and 30 made $4 and $5. per hundred, 

 a few fancies $6, but earlier in the 

 week quotations were out of the ques- 

 tion. Short and medium roses cleaned 

 up moderately well the last of the week, 

 but prices were low. The first half of 

 the week many arrived blown fully open 

 and unsalable. Sweet peas did not sell 

 as well as usual. The intense heat had 

 softened the flowers so that, while they 

 looked fresh when received, if placed a 

 few hours in the ice chest they were 

 useless. The same held true of such 

 flowers as stocks, snapdragons, fever- 

 few, etc. For some of these prices 

 could hardly be quoted. Valley from 

 outdoors was abundant and good. This 

 hurt the sale of the forced article. Lilac 

 and other outdoor flowers were never 

 more abundant, but all suffered from 

 the heat. Some Darwin tulips and the 

 old double white gardenia-scented nar- 

 cissus rang the curtain down on the 

 1914 Dutch bulb season. Gladiolus 

 Peach Blossom and other small varie- 

 ties sold fairly well; so did America, 

 but Spanish iris closed up with the heat. 



The sales of artificial wreaths and 

 sprays reached tremendous proportions 

 and seriously hurt the cut flower trade. 

 Many retailers advertised these heavily 

 and at every flower stand and in de- 

 partment stores they were on sale. 

 Some retailers did an enormous business 

 in these and only a limited number 

 failed to handle them.
