so heavy as cuts of other roses. There 

 is a fair supply of medium and shorter 

 lengths, but hardly any of the extra long 

 stems with perfect flowers. 



Heavy as are the supplies of Killar- 

 ney, White Killarney and other roses, 

 the growers say the spring crop is just 

 coming on and that the next few days 

 w^ill see much larger cuts. The quality 

 of a large part of the stock is excep- 

 tionally fine. Those who can use good 

 roses in quantity at a price are having 

 their inning. 



Going back to St. Patrick's day, an- 

 ticipating a special demand for white 

 carnations, the growers saved them up, 

 with the result that, after the shipping 

 demand had been supplied, the continued 

 heavy receipts carried prices much be- 

 low what had been anticipated by the 

 growers. Some of the special sales peo- 

 ple bought heavily March 17 and served 

 to clear the market of all the carnations 

 that were offered at cheap prices. March 

 18 values were a little better, but the 

 present week opens with another heavy 

 supply and the prospect of steady ac- 

 cumulation until Friday, when the spe- 

 cial sales are again expected to afford 

 some relief. 



Bulbous stock has been as plentiful 

 as carnations and it has been impossi- 

 ble to find a market for all of it. Eas- 

 ter lilies have been one of the chief 

 problems; many growers are weeks too 

 early with their Easter crop. The single 

 violets are approaching the end of their 

 season and the eastern stock is not com- 

 ing in so heavily as a week or two ago. 

 There is, however, no improvement in 

 the salability of donble violets.

unexpected changes, but it seems fnirly 

 certain that the next fortnight will see 

 all "flowers in oversupply, prices at a low 

 level, with the cheap sales people operat- 

 ing extensively; the big buyers at small 

 prices always respond to a condition 

 such as the present. 



Mexican ivy was scarce for several 

 days last week, said to be due to the ex- 

 cessively rainy season in California. 

 Florida asparagus bunches are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Lautenschlager is the advance 



guard of the Chicago delegation at the 

 National Flower Show. He went to Bos- 

 ton March 18. 



Work on the organization of the Chi- 

 cago Flower Growers' Association is 

 prjjgressing. Pending the receipt of the 

 charter no election has been had, but it 

 is the plan that J. F. Kidwell is to be 

 president and George Weiland secretary 

 and treasurer. Some of those interested 

 want to open their wholesale house early 

 in May, while others favor opening in 

 September.
