a large number of growers who are 

 cutting their first crop. 



The supply of carnations was large, 

 and the quality was unusually good for 

 June. Demand, however, was quite 

 dormant in the local market. It is re- 

 ported one wholesaler cleaned house by 

 selling 1,600 bunches to a department 

 store at 5 cents per bunch. Peonies, 

 the old rivals of the carnations, are 

 about done for, so far as fresh cut stock 

 is concerned. Only enough are being 

 taken out of the freezer to meet the 

 immediate demand, which is not large. 

 The quantity stored this year is about 

 as usual, but the crop was a week late, 

 so that the quantity on hand is larger 

 than usual at this date — a week's sell- 

 ing usually has been done by now. 



Valley and Easter lilies are moving 

 fairly well and at moderate prices. 

 Snapdragons, gladioli, gardenias and 

 daisies are clearing well in view of ex- 

 isting conditions. Sweet peas are get- 

 ting soft and there is little of the stock 

 that will grade up to shipping stand- 

 ards. The demand for them, however, 

 holds up remarkably well. Cattleyas 

 are in small supply and are the one 

 item on the list that is firm in price. 

 Greens are moving with everything else 

 and much in the same manner, though 

 not with any rush. 



ViBltors. 



The convention of the Associated Ad- 

 vertising Clubs of the World has 

 brought a number of florists, nursery- 

 men and seedsmen to town this week. 

 Henry Penn, of Boston, who, with Mrs. 

 Penn, is on his way to the Pacific coast, 

 is at the La Salle hotel. Mr. Penn de- 

 livered an address on flower store pub- 

 licity before the retailers' section of 

 the convention at the Auditorium hotel 

 June 22. 



The ad men's convention brought 

 J. S. Wilson to town as a member of 

 the Des Moines delegation. He re- 

 ported an excellent spring season and 

 business still good. 



T. H. Joy, of the Joy Floral Co., 

 Nashville, Tenn., was in town June 21 

 to 23, with the publicity people from 

 his section, but could not stay to see 

 the finish of the convention because of 

 a Rotary doings that called for his

presence at home June 24. It was his 

 first visit to this market in two years. 



Milo Crozer, of Cedar Bapids, arrived 

 June 22 with a delegation of Iowa ad- 

 vertising men. It was his second visit 

 here this month. 



W. F. Therkildson, advertising man- 

 ager for W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Phila- 

 delphia, is here for the convention. 



John W. Furrow, of Furrow & Co., 

 Guthrie, Okla., has arrived for his an- 

 nual summer stay. Mr. Furrow has for 

 several years spent several weeks in 

 Chicago each peach season as the sales 

 representative of an association of 

 Oklahoma growers. For the 1915 sea- 

 son he expects to market up into the 

 hundreds of carloads. Mr. Furrow is 

 accompanied by his brother, who has 

 been out of the florists' business for 

 several years, but who now is return- 

 ing to it. Last year Furrow & Co. 

 started a branch store at Oklahoma 

 City, under the management of Lon 

 Foster. The erection of a range of 

 houses there now is under contempla- 

 tion.

 managers of the building will be taken 

 care of by George Asmus. The pre- 

 mium committee, of which Mr. Asmus

 mium list. Practically $1,000 of the
