hardly above the normal. The heavy de- 

 mand for greenhouse grown stock was 

 principally due to the shortage of out- 

 door flowers. Tulips, lily of the valley, 

 peonies and lilac were all too late for 

 Decoration day. The demand for flowers 

 for Memorial day is exceeding any other 

 holiday in the year and, although the 

 orders run principally for a cheaper 

 grade of flowers, yet the average com- 

 pares favorably with Easter and Christ- 

 mas, for the lower grades of stock bring 

 better prices than the same grade would 

 bring at Christmas or Easter. There was 

 also quite a heavy demand for lilies and 

 a crop of these is really as profit- 

 able to have for Decoration day as at 

 Easter. The demand for bedding stock 

 likewise was heavy the last two weeks. 

 Geraniums, as usual, were most in de- 

 mand. S. A. Nutt and Beaute de Poite- 

 vine are the favored ones and these are 

 always sold out clean. In general, the 

 business for Memorial day was most sat- 

 isfactory; the only difiiculty experienced 

 was in supplying the demand for carna- 

 tions, as the heavy call on these was away 

 beyond expectations. 



Philip Breitmeyer, mayor of Detroit, 

 and J. F. Sullivan, of the same city, 

 were visitors here May 28. They came 

 with a delegation of 450 members of the 

 Board of Commerce of Detroit. 



C. C. P. 



Ames, Ia. — F. J. Olsan says Decora- 

 tion day sales were twenty per cent bet- 

 ter than last year. With plenty of home- 

 grown stock, he sold pretty nearly every- 

 thing that can be used for memorial 

 purposes. Prospects are good for next 

 season. 



Dayton, O. — Charles A. Bower reports 

 that his sales for Memorial week were 

 grand. May 28 he did not have a plant 

 in bloom in his houses. He had to turn a 

 lot of orders down, as it was impossible to 

 fill them. The supply of cut flowers was 

 short in Dayton, and nicely grown pot 

 plants were in demand at good prices. 

 "As we have been in the business only 

 three years, ' ' Mr. Bower says, ' ' we de- 

 pend on the advertisers in the Eeview 

 for stock, but we are growing, and will 

 add 1,000 feet of glass this summer."
