little, but it is getting better each year. 

 The florists adjacent to the cities of the 

 dead all report a big increase in business. 

 The shops in the heart of the city were 

 not quite so busy. The wholesalers all 

 report a good demand in both local and 

 shipping orders and they had plenty of 

 flowers on hand to fill all orders, espe- 

 cially roses. Carnations were limited in 

 the colored varieties. 



Quite a fine lot of gladioli were seen 

 and peonies were plentiful, also cape jas- 

 mines. A great lot of common outdoor 

 flowers were sent in and disposed of 

 cheaply. All greens, too, had a good de- 

 mand.
