April 29. The new roses were not in 

 oversupply and fair prices were to be 

 had for Mrs. Aaron Ward, Prince de 

 Bulgarie and Melody. Kichmonds and 

 My Maryland enjoyed a fair market 

 and did not suffer much from over- 

 supply. 



Carnations, which were a little short 

 of the demand at the start of the previ- 

 ous week, came in more freely as the 

 week progressed and by Saturday, April 

 27, there were plenty to be had at a 

 slight reduction. The demand on Sat- 

 urday was brisk, but the rain of Sunday 

 shut off all demand except that for 

 funeral work and there were more than 

 were required on Monday, when the call 

 was light and included only the best 

 grade. Orchids were to be had at fair 

 prices, but no unusually large quanti- 

 ties were received. Calla lilies were 

 plentiful, but they seemed to lack a 

 market. Easter lilies appeared to move 

 a little better, although there was no 

 special reason for it. Spanish iris was 

 abundant throughout the week and, 

 though it did not bring any fancy 

 prices, it was moved along with the 

 other stock at fair rates. There were 

 numerous shipments of lilacs from 

 southern shippers, but in most cases, 

 like the week before, it was poor stock 

 and commanded little attention from 

 the buyers, who took only the better 

 stock. Some fine mignonette was to be 

 had and considerable of it was called 

 for during the week. Indoor bulbous 

 stock is about at an end and the south- 

 ern bulbous stock did not come in such 

 large quantities as before. Still there 

 was no great demand for what little 

 there was and prices were about the 

 same.

Violets are done. Snapdragon is 

 plentiful, except white. Daisies do not 

 sell the way they had been expected 

 to. Gladiolus Colvillei has been added 

 to the list. 



Greens found plenty of call. Ferns 

 are getting bad and there are those who 

 predict a flurry in the near future. 

 Sprengeri, plumosus, galax and Mexican 

 ivy found the usual market and the 

 supply was first-class, but not over- 

 abundant. 



Most of the wholesalers are encour- 

 aging their customers to push Mothers' 

 day. The belief is general that if the 

 retailers will advertise along the lines 

 suggested in Th^ Review of April 25 

 the day can be made to take a place 

 among the important special flower 

 days. The disposition is to hold prices 

 steady, except, of course, on white car- 

 nations, which will be made the means 

 of selling other stock — the buyer who 

 orders only white will have to pay a
