keeping quality is still expected to real- 

 ize something lor the producers. 



There are now large supplies in all 

 lines and the quality has been toned up. 

 Demand is fair and a good June is 

 looked for. There is an abundance of 

 the June specialties: Cattleyas, valley, 

 lilies, Beautier, Killarneys and sweet 

 peas, though the latter show the effects 

 of the heat rather more than any other 

 flower. 



May Business. 



May affords an unwelcome contrast to 

 the general course of events in this mar- 

 ket. Business has increased almost un- 

 interruptedly for years, each month show- 

 ing a larger vohime than the same month 

 in any j)receding year. But in May 

 there was a setback. Tho supply of 

 stock was abnormally large, quality was 

 unusually poor and demand was ex- 

 tremely slack, all because the weather 

 throughout the month was much warmer 

 than it ever has been before since cut 

 flowers have been largely dealt in. There 

 were higli hopes that Memorial day, 

 which has been, rapidly increasing in 

 importance in recent years, would give 

 ?> volume of business that would offset 

 the poor record of the rest of the month, 

 but, on the contrary, the heat wave May 

 -5 to 27 made the last week of the 

 month, by comparison with last year,

 handled more stock in May than in any 

 other thirty days ever experienced, but 

 the general result was less money than in 

 May of last year.
