the marked shortage that came about 

 this date last year is not yet in evi- 

 dence. While some growers are report- 

 ing light crops of Beauties, others are 

 cutting heavily. All Beauties and roses 

 appear to be of satisfactory quality and 

 some are notably good. 



The increasing supply of carnations 

 coupled with a slowing up in business 

 resulted in a drop in prices last week, 

 but growers are hopeful that the short- 

 ening in roses will result in restoring 

 carnations to the satisfactory price 

 levels of the last few weeks. The 

 weather may have checked carnation 

 production to a slight degree, but the 

 crops in this department undeniably are 

 on. If there is any difficulty in getting 

 roses, all demands for carnations can 

 be met. There is a large percentage of 

 splits that are difficult to dispose of. 



The violet situation is peculiar. It 

 appears to be possible to sell each day 's 

 receipts, but there is difficulty in ob- 

 taining satisfactory prices. Cattleyas 

 are coming in heavily, and extremely 

 fine Trianse are to be had at moderate 

 rates. It puts the balance of the Per- 

 civaliana crop in a position where only 

 the lowest prices can be realized. Sweet 

 peas are in demand. This is one item 

 on which there is no oversupply, for 

 the crops seem to be coming forward 

 less rapidly than last year. Valley, the 

 other corsage flower, is in large supply, 

 but there are several qualities. 



Stevia is passing, and some of the 

 crops of bouvardia are gone, but their 

 place is taken by increased receipts of 

 bulbous flowers. There are more Paper 

 Whites and Romans than at any time 

 heretofore this season and prices real- 

 ized seem to leave little profit for the 



CARNATIONS 



The large cuts afford every grade and color 

 but it is seldom we have had so many high 

 grade flowers of long stem.

 SUNBURST MRS. AARON WARD 



Roses are more plentiful in the longer lengths 

 and while we are getting our share of the short 

 ones we can hardly be satisfied until you have 

 tried our long-stem Killarneys. They could 

 not be grown better than we have them now. 

 The color is excellent.
