The Market. 



Gut flowers are in heavy supply, with 

 demand only moderate at present. The 

 hot weather experienced on one or two 

 days has sent things along with a rush, 

 with the result that prices have taken a 

 considerable slump compared with a week 

 ago. Boses are far too abundant and 

 many are cleared at absurdly low prices. 

 Richmond and Killamey remain the two 

 best selling sorts. A large part of the 

 Brides and Maids arriving find their out- 

 let on the sidewalks through the fakers. 

 Carnations are still of fine quality but 

 are in much the same predicament as the 

 roses, far too plentiful. A few fancies 

 reach $3, but more sell at $1 to $1.50 



and some even lower. Violets are Hear- 

 ing the end. Some nice doubles are still 

 seen, but singles will be finished this 

 week. 



Sweet peas are good and sell as read- 

 ily as anything on the list. Lily of the 

 valley meets with an erratic call. Callas 

 are about over and there is a light call 

 for lilies. Spanish iris is good and meets 

 with a fair sale. Bulbous stock is be- 

 ginning to peter out; sales are still slow 

 and the whole season has been a dis- 

 couraging one for specialists in this line. 

 Some narcissi from outdoors are now ar- 

 riving. A few nice Gladiolus Gandaven- 

 sis hybrids are coming in and meet with 

 a fair sale. There is an uncertain call 

 for other flowers, such as marguerites, 

 snapdragons, mignonettes, stocks, etc. 

 Sales of such plants as pansies, double 

 daisies, forget-me-nots and other spring 

 bedding plants are now active. Bedding 

 geraniums are also making their appear- 

 ance thus early. The call for flowering 

 plants since Easter has been light. 



Qub Jottings. 



F. E. Palmer's talk. May 19, on the 

 subject "Some Thoughts on the Art of 

 Selling" will undoubtedly attract a 

 large audience. Mr. Palmer is a clear 

 headed, up-to-date commercialist and has 

 been one of the best workers in the club 

 since he joined it. 



The interesting collection of seedling 

 liliums, shown April 21 by Parquhar & 

 Co., attracted great attention from mem- 

 bers. These plants were raised from 

 seeds sown in February, 1907. They 

 carried from one to six flowers pei 

 stalk. The stem and foliage resem- 

 bled L. longiflorum closely, while flow- 

 ers showed strongly the influence oi 

 L. Philippense. A peculiarity about 

 these hybrids is their herbaceous char- 

 acter. They continue to throw up flow- 

 ering shoots. James Farquhar said they 

 would produce four lots of these during 

 the season.
