Current G>mment. 



I might safely say that never has there 

 been such a large crop of outdoor flow- 

 ers. Wherever you go you see great 

 bunches of them on all sides. They are 

 in every nook and corner and they are 

 just knocking the regular flower business 

 endways. You can look over your books 

 for this same time last year and see 

 where you were getting 3 cents for car- 

 nations and 6 cents and 8 cents for 

 rose^, and not enough to supply the de- 

 mand at that. It makes you feel sort 

 of sick. But it cannot be helped. Con- 

 ditions this year are just the reverse 

 of those last year. The weather has 

 been ideal for a great crop of outdoor 

 flowers and they have bloomed as never 

 before, and the end is not yet. 



How long this is going to last we 

 cannot tell. From present indications 

 there is little chance for a let-up for 

 some time to come, but we are hoping 

 and praying that the unexpected vrill 

 happen and that at least there will de- 

 velop enough demand to put some heart 

 in the business and drive away the dismal 

 atmosphere that prevails at present. 



And, to top it all, peonies have made 

 their appearance, to add another load 

 for the market to carry. William Mur- 

 phy has been receiving shipments of this 

 flower from the south, and Huntsman 

 & Co. have been the first to have them 

 in bloom about this city. 



Outdoor valley is also coming into 

 bloom. It sells fairly well at from 50 

 cents to $1 per hundred, but the supply 

 is much too la^ge for the demand. 



We are well supplied with green goods 

 of all kinds and this kind of stock is 

 doing fairly well. Good ferns are selling 

 first-class and at a good price. Leucothoe 

 sprays are a close second. 



Max Budolph has already planted one 

 house of carnations from 4-inch pots and 

 expects to plant another within two 

 weeks. He has entirely recovered from 

 his recent illness and looks as well as 

 ever. C. J. Ohmeb. 



Frank W. Ball has entered into part- 

 nership with Bobert A. Betz, who has 

 been in the wire design business here for 

 ten years. The firm name will be Ball 

 & Betz. 



WooNSOCKET, R. I. — ^Willie Jacques 

 has severed his connection with the Eus- 

 tic Flower store.
