the best of the week for the local whole- 

 salers, who were taxed to the limit in 

 filling out-of-town orders. Saturday 

 morning presented a vastly different 

 condition, for, with a steady rain falling 

 all of the morning, the buyers were 

 hardly ready to do any extensive buy- 

 ing. For a short time during the after- 

 noon the rain ceased and permitted the 

 retailers to do some business, but noth- 

 ing like what would have been done 

 had it been clear in the morning. Sun- 

 day showed much worse conditions than 

 Saturday, the steady rain and high wind 

 being accompanied by a sharp turn from 

 warm to cold, and again the retailers 

 were disappointed, for nobody was on 

 the street. 



White carnations, as was to be ex- 

 pected, prevailed as the popular flower, 

 and many shipments were made that did 

 not include the entire quota demanded, 

 it being necessary in many cases to cut 

 or replace with colored carnations in 

 order to have enough white to go 

 around. However, the call for colored 

 carnations did not come up to expecta- 

 tions, and Enchantress could hardly be 

 moved, although there was some de- 

 mand for bright red. 



In roses, the Mothers' day demand 

 showed little increase over any other 

 dav, with the possible exception that 

 White Killamey found a better market 

 than ordinarily would have been the 

 case. American Beauties did not share 

 in the Mothers' day demand to any 

 appreciable extent, nor did Killamey or 

 any of the novelties. 



Monday, May 13, found the market in 

 a rather easy condition, there being 

 plenty of almost everything, but no 

 great oversupply. Carnations were still 

 in large supply, while roses of every 

 quality and variety were also in heavy

receipt. American Beauties continue 

 to come in strongly, although some are 

 not especially good, Killarney and 

 White Killarney are abundant, but the 

 better grades hold up well, with an 

 oversupply of short and medium stems. 

 The Butterfly sweet peas still come 

 in large lots and readily find market. 

 There is a big demand for these, and 



the winter flowering varieties are being 

 forced into the background, there being 

 little or no demand for them when the 

 first spring crop of Butterfly comes on 

 the market. 



Peonies started to pour into the mar- 

 ket with the latter part of last week, 

 and many of the wholesalers are putting 

 extra help to work getting them into
