 how to pack them, so they will reach you in good shape.

 and we can fill your order, if anyone can.

It looks as though the tide has 

 changed. Low water mark has been 

 reached slowly, very slowly, but surely. 

 The tide is coming in. This midsummer 

 parallel clearly describes the condition 

 of the cut. The supply of flowers is 

 smaller than a week ago. There are 

 fewer, far fewer roses and carnations 

 and there are hardly enough orchids to 

 fill the orders. Asters, on the other 

 hand, are much more plentiful, while 

 gladioli are an important factor. The 

 asters are mostly from Lancaster coun- 

 ty, with a fair quantity from nearby 

 counties and from New Jersey. They 

 are fairly good and are most: useful. 

 Prices on all flowers rule low, but they 

 are selling, which makes a much better 

 average price than a week ago. There 

 has been more demand for candytuft 

 and feverfew. White roses have been 

 scarce at times. The best Beauties come 

 from down east, the best sweet peas 

 from New York state, from where also 

 a few asters and gardenias are still 

 to be had. There is a moderate supply 

 of valley. Easter lilies have shortened 

 in number. They are selling well.
