was any need for; the returns, espe- 

 cially in the case of the Hudson river 

 stock that fell below the highest stand- 

 ard of quality, afforded no satisfaction 

 to growers. The price of cattleyas will 

 firm up promptly upon the reappear- 

 an(;e of demand, as the supply of good 

 stock no longer is excessive. Valley 

 continues to sell as well as anything 

 else on the list. 



There is no special change in the 

 green goods situation. There are all 

 the ferns anyone wants at the price. 

 Adiantum continues weak, Mexican ivy 

 being so largely used in its place. Galax 

 is plentiful. Few asparagus strings are 

 to be had and they seldom are asked 

 for, although asparagus sprays, mostly 

 from Florida, sell steadily. 



St. Valentine's Prospect. 



Most of the wholesalers said early in 

 the week that they were disappointed 

 with the number of orders booked for 

 St. Valentine's day. Last year the 

 business doubled, as compared with 

 1912. Another increase has been con- 

 fidently expected this year. Those who 

 have given the subject thought are in- 

 clined to the opinion that the small

number of advance orders is due to 

 general confidence that such flowers as 

 are in special demand for corsage work 

 and dollar boxes will be plentiful, and 

 that buyers can fill their requirements 

 on short notice. It is expected that Fri- 

 day, February 13, will be an extremely 

 busy day with telegraph orders. 



The Hadley Bose. 



Chicago growers seem to think the 

 new crimson rose, Hadley, will make 

 a hit; at least, it is being bought in 

 considerable quantity for this market. 

 The rose is a new color, fiery crimson. 



It comes from the same originators as 

 Mrs. Russell, the Montgomery interests 

 near Boston, although it is being put 

 on the market by A. N. Pierson, Inc. 

 Mr. Montgomery raised a number of 

 seedlings more or less of this color, but 

 thought Hadley much the best. He 

 had not planned putting Hadley on the 

 market this year, but decided to go 

 ahead on short notice when he found 

 others were working up stocks of crim- 

 son roses, some of them by rooting 

 wood of his own seedlings obtained 

 through his sales of cut flowers. When 

 Hadley was offered 10,000 were ordered
