certain that some were liable to prove 

 bad. Thrips and mildew have also 

 caused the wholesalers some trouble, it 

 being no more than natural that these 

 should accompany the change. 



Boses are plentiful, the chief diffi- 

 culty being that they were opening 

 more rapidly than was desired and, un- 

 der the conditions, had to be sold 

 quickly or consigned to the junk heap. 

 There is hardly an oversupply, as the 

 out-of-town demand is unusually brisk, 

 even for Memorial day, it being only 

 a question of good quality and quick 

 disposal to get a fair price. Killar- 

 neys, both white and pink, have been 

 abundant since May 25 and it was also 

 noted that some fine Maryland and 

 Mrs. Taft were to be seen, while there 

 was also plenty of Mrs. Aaron Ward, 

 Bhea Reid and Melody of good quality. 

 Bichmond came in fast and was in 

 good shape. American Beauties are in 

 much greater supply than at any pre- 

 vious date this year. As with the rest 

 of the stock, most of these show the 

 effect of the heat and prices for the 

 same length of stem vary widely, ac- 

 cording to the color and condition of 

 the bud. 



Sweet peas, likewise, came in large 

 quantities and some extremely fine 

 stock was the result of the sun's work. 

 These have moved off the tables almost 

 as fast as they arrived, the demand be- 

 ing heavy, both from local and out-of- 

 town trade. The butterfly peas hold 

 the center of attention and the few 

 winter ones that are left have little 

 market. Orchids are in oversupply. 

 The price of cattleyas has suffered a 

 severe drop. As a result of a big local 

 crop .and big shipments from the east, 

 they are being offered at the lowest 

 price ever quoted in Chicago. Even at 

 the lowest price there is little or no 

 demand and many find no market. The 

 condition is unusual, inasmuch as the 

 retailers report that they cannot even 

 force a sale of them. Novelties are 

 finding a fair market at fair prices. 

 Gladioli and baby gladioli are in big 

 supply and are moving along with 

 others on the holiday demand. There is 

 no special call, but they find more 

 favor than snapdragon, which is being 

 neglected by most buyers. Easter lilies

are coming in just fast enough to fill a 

 comfortable demand, but the callas are 

 not commanding the same attention 

 and suffer in quality from the heat. 

 Valley is abundant and both good and 

 indifferent stock can be had. The out- 

 door tulips have come on strong, but 

 they open quickly and it is necessary 

 to move them fast, along with daisies, 

 candytuft and some spiraea that is being 

 offered. Greens hold firm and have en- 

 joyed an increase in demand such as is 

 only possible along at holiday times. 

 Ferns are not in oversupply by any 

 means. Good stock is bringing good 

 money.
