quantities of cut rosea on hand and at 

 •what low prices they are being offered. 

 The French bloom has had a marked 

 effect on this particular line. On ac- 

 count of short supplies of French stuff 

 last year a lot of money was made in 

 forced roses, Safrano in particular. This 

 year eqiJally good stock does not bring 

 one-third last season 's prices. 



Carnations are conspicuous almost by 

 their absence. Hardly any are seen on 

 the market, but it is evident the day 

 is not far distant when carnations, espe- 

 cially the American varieties, will be 

 plentiful on the English markets. Most 

 of the gardening journals are taking up 

 the subject, and the growers will not be 

 slow to satisfy any demand there may 

 be. 



There appears to be a great scarcity 

 of Japan lilies in usual trade sizes this 

 year, and almost fabulous prices are be- 

 ing asked and obtained by dealers. 

 Lancifolium album, retarded bulbs, bring 

 high figures, and for longiflorum multi- 

 florum growers are paying £8 per 1,000 

 for 7x9 bulbs, and some dealers are even 

 asking £10 for the few they have left. 

 One of the largest growers round Lon- 

 don has bought some (5,000 longiflorum 

 giganteum at £12 per 1,000 because he 

 could not get sufficient of the multi- 

 florum type. Unless the cut bloom trade 

 makes a tremendous improvement these 

 growers must certainly fail to make any 

 money. 



Now that the cutting of forced fresh 

 lily of the valley crowns is in full 

 swing, the valley trade is totally over- 

 done and one cannot help being struck 

 ■with the immense quantities there are on 

 offer in London. They are being hawked 

 in the streets at 4 cents per bunch of 

 six spikes. It is the general opinion of 

 the leading growers that valley costs, 

 to produce under the conditions prevail- 

 ing in England, 1 cent per spike. One 

 effect the exceptionally poor crop of 

 really first-class crowns harvested in Ger- 

 many has had upon the market is to 

 make an absolute giut of second and 

 third-rate spikes. Of course, as soon as 

 the forcing of fresh crowns is over and 

 there is nothing but retarded stuff to 

 rely upon, prices will improve. Quite a 

 number of English firms now do their 

 own retarding with more or less suc- 

 cess, and it will soon be a regular thing 

 for all big establishments to have their 

 icehouses attached to the nursery.

Gunnar Teilmann has liLs stock in first- 

 class condition. A bench of caHa lilies 

 was certainly Avell done, there being 

 from two to three buds and blooms on 

 every ])lant. He has been sui)jtlying the 

 florists in this vicinity, also making 

 regular weekly shipments to Chicago. 

 Mr. Teilmanu does not rest his lilies 

 but lifts them out of the bench after 

 frost is over and plants them in the 

 open field, keeps them growing all sum- 

 mer, then pots them in the fall and holds 

 till the early chrysanthemums are cut. 

 Then he plants them in the bench. He
