tions of quality are few on the market 

 and the outside demand for them is 

 strong. 



Peonies are in good demand and the 

 supply is ample and there has been a 

 quantity of inferior stock that has not 

 realized a great deal of money. Easter 

 lilies are finding a sluggish demand, 

 although the supply is only fair. Callas 

 are short, with a moderate demand. 

 Snapdragons and gladioli are plentiful 

 enough and are in fair demand. The 

 same may be said of daisies and Span- 

 ish iris. Mignonette is practically done 

 for. Valley is plentiful but is moving 

 well. Sweet peas are in fine form and 

 are selling rapidly. 



Memorial Day Prospects. 



Monday, May 24, following the ap- 

 pearance of the Memorial Day Number 

 of The Review, the wholesale houses 

 had the heaviest mail in many months. 

 The number of orders was such as to en- 

 courage the belief that the week will 

 end with one of the biggest rushes on 

 record. There is, however, a marked 

 uisposition on the part of the buyers 

 to turn away from high-priced stock. 



It seems quite clear carnations will 

 be short of the demand and short roses 

 probably will not go around, but there 

 will be enough roses for all those who 

 can use long stems. Peonies are far 

 less abundant than a year ago, the quan- 

 tity in storage being only a small frac- 

 tion of what was there a year ago 

 today. There will, however, be enough 

 peonies for all who wish to pay regular 

 prices; the bargain hunters probably 

 will have to postpone their special sales 

 a week or so. Cape jasmine will not 

 be in large supply. Most of the stock 

 is of good quality, worth what is asked. 



The shipping begins May 27, but the 

 heaviest orders go out May 29 and 30. 

 Growers are advised to get their stock 

 on the market early. 



Chicago Baskets. 



It is of interest to note that all the 

 baskets on the display tables of the 

 A. L. Randall Co. now are of Chicago 

 manufacture. When the war shut off 

 imports from Germany it became neces- 

 sary tb find some other source of sup- 

 ply. The only course open seemed to

 manufactured special rather than staple 

 lines. Soon the question of space came 

 up, but this was met by adopting the 

 German hearthstone method. The ma-

sold to the workers, who take them
