Business is still good, owing to the 

 cool weather that has prevailed all 

 through the spring season. Of course, 

 prices are lower, but the big factor 

 is that stock is being moved. The de- 

 mand is exceptionally good for this 

 time of year and any occasional sur- 

 plus is being taken up readily at low 

 prices. Eoses have maintained their 

 quality wonderfully and buyers of this 

 stock are gettiftg great value for their 

 money. Carnations are also in extra 

 fine condition and are moving well. 

 Though both carnations and roses are 

 plentiful, they are cleaned up fairly 

 well each day. Peonies are in extremely 

 large supply, but are selling well. The 

 crpp has been with us much longer 

 than last year and will probably be on 

 for another week. Sweet peas are about 

 gone, although they are still to be had. 

 The quality is deteriorating fast and 

 one or two hot days will see the last 

 of them. 



There is no complaint on the spring 

 season, as business has been good, but 

 it is to be expected that hot weather 

 will soon put a quietus on the sales 

 and then the florists can take a much 

 needed vacation. 



Various Notes.

 during the month of June. What with

tiou decorations, the force have been on 

 the jump continually. This firm had 

 the decorations both for the North Di- 

 vision High school, in the school audi- 

 torium, and for the West Division High 

 school, whose exercises took place at 

 the Grand Avenue Congregational 

 church. Both decorations were most 

 artistically arranged. Miss E. Perstein 

 celebrated her twenty-fourth birthday 

 June 13, when she was agreeably sur- 

 prised by a party of her^^riends. As 

 the party did not breaK up until the 

 "wee, sma' " hours, there is no need 

 of saying anything ab^ut the time they 

 had. 



The Heitman-Oestreicher Co. states 

 that its carnation plants are in excep- 

 tionally fine condition for this time of 

 year. This firm will be cutting its 

 first outdoor sweet peas within a few 

 days.
