ator is holding back all his best stock in 

 anticipation of realizing better prices 

 than usual at Decoration day. Most of 

 the wholesalers report few advance orders 

 for peonies, but at the outside prices 

 peonies still make more show for the 

 money than most other flowers and a 

 big business is regarded as certain, es- 

 pecially as other outdoor stock is practi- 

 cally out of the running this year. 



A large supply of Easter lilies is a 

 factor to be reckoned with. 



Growers are being urged not to hold 

 back their stock. Decoration day will 

 not stand high prices. The stock will 

 be want-^rl May 27 and 28, not later.

Various Notes. 



E. C. Amling is an exception to the 

 rule in that where most wholesalers look 

 for light supplies of carnations for Dec- 

 oration day, he thinks they will prove to 

 be large. A. L. Randall agrees with him. 



Kyle & Foerster stated, May 14, that 

 they had then booked more orders for 



Decoration day than they filled at either 

 Christmas or Easter. 



Robert Northam says that recent ex- 

 perience at George Reinberg's has shown 

 that if retailers have use for orchids, 

 they will pay a fair price for them; that 

 nothing is gained by cutting prices when 

 the supply is large. He considers 50 

 cents each a popular price for choice cat- 

 tleyas. 



C. L. "Washburn says he looks for the 

 comparative shortage of carnations to 

 make a good market for short roses for 

 Decoration day. 



John Muno, who now grows vege- 

 tables, says this has been a fine season 

 for lettuce; up to quite recently he has 

 re6eived 35 to 45 cents a case. His son, 

 George, grows carnations and reports the 

 sale for cuttings as surprisingly brisk. 



There are plenty of good vacant stores 

 inside the loop for any retailer who wants 

 to carry the load imposed by the land- 

 lords. 



Last week Wietor Bros, planted four 

 of their new houses. Seven more are 

 being glazed. They have made short work 

 of the rebuilding of this range of eleven 

 houses. 



Vaughan & Sperry say they expect car- 

 nations to be of better quality than last 

 year, but with lighter cuts for Decora- 

 tion day. They look for big business on 

 peonies. 



A. L. Randall Co. reports the arrival 

 of its first suipment of cape jasmine May 

 13; $3 per hundred was realized. 



Kennicott Bros. Oo. reports the quanti- 

 ty of peonies in storage greater than ever 

 at this date. E. E. Pieser says they have 

 been buying buckets for a week and that 

 the arrivals now are heavier than ever. 



APHINE 



Is proviDg a most effec- 

 tive, while at the same 

 time absolutely harm- 

 less, insecticide for use 

 on young stock. 



It destroys the in- 

 sects, and invigorates 

 the plants. 



Have you tried if? 



APHINE MANUFACTURING CO. 



Madison, New Jersej 



He considers the peony the special flower 

 of Decoration day, just as the lily is of 

 Easter, and is counting on a record-break- 

 ing demani tne last week of this month. 

 Klehm's Nursery is sending a large 

 cut of Easter liUes to Percy Jones.
