There have been a great many wed- 

 dings and some of those sadder affairs 

 that bring regret to nearly all except 

 the profession; and then there have 

 been social affairs where the "turkey 

 trot, ' ' the ' ' tango, ' ' the ' * crab crawl, ' ' 

 the "grizzly bear" and the "grape 

 vine twist" gather the gay dancers. 

 Altogether these events have made 

 much to do in the floral world, not so 

 much, perhaps, as the week before, but 

 quite enough to make the wise ones nod 

 their heads and say it has been a good 

 week. Outdoor lilac has come, and 

 with it only a few of the other outdoor 

 flowers, besides the poet's narcissus. 

 The extraordinarily heavy rains and the 

 cool weather account for the absence 

 of the usual outdoor blooms. The va- 

 riety has been increased by the arrival 

 of iris — from the south, I think — and 

 by greenhouse-grown fancy gladioli, 

 baby gladioli, German ten weeks ' 

 stocks and gillies, both single and 

 double, some of them remarkably fine. 

 Sweet peas are a big factor, the spring 

 crops of some of the growers being at 

 their best. The price is receding a little 

 under the influence of heavy receipts. 

 Valley has been in lively request. There 

 are more carnations and roses than a 

 week ago, and nearly all of them have 

 brought fair prices. Easter lilies are 

 quite scarce and callas are waning. 

 Violets are about over. It has taken 

 time to completely finish them. Indoor- 

 grown white lilac is still an important 

 flower. The demand from out of town 

 has been the strength of the market.
