•Decorati6niaa3i*TOfcine8S, so far, is qdl< 

 that is evqf f o^tpected of it and 1thl& 

 some. If there are some complaints 

 from out-of-town people about b^d 

 flowers, it is not surprising, for if a 

 box remains in the sun for any length 

 of time, the stpck in it is likely to be 

 cooked. At this date, May 27, the tem- 

 perature continues to ride in' the 90 's, 

 getting as high as 99 degrees, with no 

 rain. This is hard on carnations in the 

 field. Most of the growers were de- 

 layed about two weeks in getting their 

 ■plants out, on account of rain, and there 

 has been no rain since planting. 



Plantsmen were never rushed harder 

 and it is safe to say there never was a 

 season when the general planting was 

 so nearly completed before June 1. It 

 would not be wise to say that there had 

 been any increase in the plant trade, 

 but at least it seemed as good as last 

 year. 



Peonies, syringas and some outside 

 roses were in bloom for Decoration day.
