general expectation of it is one of the 

 most encouraging signs of the times. 



The bulb, seed and nurserymen are all 

 preparing for a strenuous season, and 

 the supply bouses are stocked to reple- 

 tion with large importations, many nov- 

 elties among them. Evidently the spirit 

 of optimism is in the air and the lines 

 are being laid in all departments of the 

 business, with a view to the return of 

 prosperity. 



Boses are improving daily in color and 

 length of stem and soon the prices will 

 correspond and the grower take heart 

 again. There are few carnations arriv- 

 ing, which is fortunate, for tne rivers of 

 asters and gladioli run deep and wide> 

 and there seems to be no let-up in the 

 flood. Plenty of lilies add to the beauty 

 of window decorations and of Hydrangea 

 panieulata grandiflora there is no end.
