The Market. 

 "We have had a week of warm weath- 

 er and cut flower business has been at 

 quite a low ebb, the exception being 

 May 13, when the call for flowers for 

 Mothers' day stimulated trade con- 

 siderably, roses and carnations selling 

 particularly well. With some growers 

 carnations are nearing the end and 

 the really good flowers arriving are 

 not numerous. The quality has held 

 up surprisingly well, but the late heat 

 wave has caused many to become 

 spidery and the general quality is on 

 the decline. Koses are suffering froni 

 the hot weather and many are sold 

 only at low rates. Eichmond is get- 

 ting poor. Beauties are still good, but 

 the demand is not strong. Sweet peas 

 are still popular. The short-stemmed 

 ones bring low prices, but all those ot 

 good quality and desirable colors are 



. selling well. ^ , x -i.!. 



Callas and lilies are abundant, with 

 but little call for them. Daffodils and 

 tulips are now all outdoor grown and 

 are in much reduced numbers. The 

 quality also is not up to the average. 

 Gladioli, such as America and Peach 

 Blossom, sell quite well; others slowly. 

 'There is no great call for valley, while 

 'stocks and snapdragons, even when of 

 pleasing colors, are slow sale. Mar- 

 guerites are overabundant, especially 

 whites. Bachelor's buttons sell fairly 

 well. Fansies are druggy. There is
