to any marked degree on the . market. 

 Beauties, though excellent and in fair 

 supply, are not clearing quite so 

 rapidly as they should. Peonies, as 

 everyone knows, are in short crop, but 

 in spite of that fact the supply has 

 equaled the demand during the last 

 week, with moderate quantities to go 

 to storage against Memorial day. Val- 

 ley, the supply of which is being aug- 

 mented by the outdoor stock, is clear- 

 ing well. Easter lilies are quite plenti- 

 ful enough, but meet with only a fair 

 demand. Callas are faring better. Fair 

 may describe the demand for daisies, 

 snapdragons, mignonette and Spanish 

 iris. As for the supply, there was suf- 

 ficient on the market to fill all orders. 

 Smilax has the honor of being the one 

 thing on the market that is really 

 short and for this the demand is strong. 

 Sweet peas, also, are still clearing well. 

 Ferns have a right to be classed on 

 the short side, with every indication 

 of a market shortage for Memorial 

 day. This to a great extent is due 

 to spoilage in storage; when the cases 

 are opened it develops that a large part 

 of them have spoiled. 



Carnations are moving, but that is 

 all. This cannot be attributed to the 

 demand so much as to the supply. It 

 is scarcely to be expected that the 

 quality of the stock will be of the best 

 immediately following a holiday that 

 taxed to the utmost the resources of 

 the growers. The cut is light. Cat- 

 tleyas are much more plentiful than a 

 few days ago, 



Spanish iris had a bad season. The 

 hot weather in April seemed to be more 

 than it could stand and took hundreds 

 of dollars out of the pockets of each 

 of several growers who have made 

 something of a specialty of this flower. 



Memorial Day Prospects. 



Thus far there are few orders for 

 Memorial day; some forehanded folk 

 have arranged for carnations, but no 

 special inquiry has been noted — it is 

 expected to develop in the next few 

 days. 



One of the reasons why a specially 

 good Memorial day business is 

 expected this year is because there will 

 be only moderate supplies of stock.

 It seems to assure a big shipping trade,

There will not be enough carnations
