than that figure retail. The best flow- 

 ers have not exceeded $2 per hundred 

 since the middle of June. Gardenias 

 and orchids are abundant; prices and 

 demand have fallen, and apart from the 

 few weddings booked there is nothing 

 to increase their value. Valley is down 

 to $2 per hundred and lilies can be 

 bought for 3 cents. There is again a 

 great abundance of outdoor flowers, for 

 much of which there is no sale. The 

 shipments of ramblers are enormous. 

 For the Eoosevelt wedding great quan- 

 tities of pink ramblers came from Wyn- 

 cote. Pa,

 sulted from the publication of the 64- 

 page souvenir program. Breakfast was 

 served on' arrival at the grounds, and 

 dinner just before sailing for home.
