Mpntion The Rpview when von write 



shows that, low as average prices are, 

 they still are better than a year ago, 

 and growers' checks last week were 

 larg6r than for the same week of 1909. 

 Average prices will be lower this week, 

 but the checks doubtless will be just 

 as high. Wholesalers are working 

 hard. 



This is peony week. The local crop 

 is coming on rapidly under the influ- 

 ence of warm sun. Immense quantities 

 are arriving. The quality varies great- 

 ly. There are some peonies apparently 

 untouched by frost, but many buds 

 were deformed by the spring freeze. 

 As usual, much of the stock is open, 

 and this must be sold on arrival for 

 whatever it will bring. Enough of the 

 best grade is put on the market to sup- 

 ply all requirements, but the majority 

 of the storable stock is going into the 

 freezer. 



Good Beauties are again more abund- 

 ant, and the demand has slacked off to 

 an appreciable degree. There still are 

 some splendid Killamey roses, fine, 



clean stock, but an astonishing propor- 

 tion are badly affected by mildew, 

 which practically destroys their selling 

 value. The special demand for Eich- 

 mond is subsiding. Jardine is popular. 

 Maid, Bride and Kaiserin are offered in 

 good shape. 



The carnation growers appear to be 

 harvesting their final crop of the sea- 

 son. Keceipts are extremely heavy, 

 quality shows the neglect with which 

 many growers treat their stock at the 

 close of the season, and prices are at 

 the point where the throwing out of 

 unprofitable benches will shortly be 

 begun. 



Sweet peas of the better grades con- 

 tinue good property. Lower grades sell 

 indifferently, but seem to be mak- 

 ing, nevertheless, comparatively better 

 prices than the lower grades of other 

 flowers. There continues to be a sea- 

 sonable demand for orchids, valley, lil- 

 ies, gladioli and daisies, though not so 

 brisk as earlier in the month. 



Green goods are in fair supply, ex- 



cept fancy hardy cut ferns. It is ju^t 

 between crops on these. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Smyth has enough telephor. 

 trade so that he has three wires. H' 

 has just been connected to the new A' 

 dine exchange and given the number" 

 Aldine 880, 881 and 882. In such i 

 case the telephone operator has a rir.- 

 around the three numbers on th 

 switchboard, and if the number callc' 

 is busy gives one of the others withou' 

 the party calling knowing the diffei 

 ence. 



C. M. Dickinson reports that E. II 

 Hunt has this week shipped an order 

 of* florists' supplies to the Philippinf" 

 Islands, calling for a representative 

 line, but especially strong on violet 

 supplies. 



Mr. Schreiber, who manages th<^ 

 greenhouses of his daughter, widow of 

 the late Jacob Schneider, of Park 

 Ridge, has gone to the Pacific coast to 

 spend three months visiting his sons.
