anticipated in May, especially of roses. 

 Already the supply of Maryland is im- 

 mense, and of Killarney "there is no 

 end." There has been an abundance 

 lately of wedding and dinner decora- 

 tions, which have kept the majority of 

 retail florists exceedingly busy and 

 have left no surplus of the selected 

 stock at any time. The bargain hunt- 

 ers have been obliged to fall back on 

 the lower grades, and less slashing of 

 values is in evidence in the big adver- 

 tisements of the department stores. 



American Beauties, when perfect, 

 sold steadily last week at $30 per hun- 

 dred. One lot of 400 brought that fig- 

 ure. The demand for the best Beauty 

 stock continues wide and steady every 

 day. Brides, Maids and Marylands are 

 abundant, and prices are gradually 

 lessening. Killarney holds more stead- 

 ily, especially in its popular double 

 varieties. Sunburst, Ward, Chatenay, 

 Hillingdon and Richmond lose none of 

 their charm, and all the new kinds, in- 

 cluding Milady, Russell and Shawyer, 

 are much in demand by the "400" 

 since the National Flower Show. Car- 

 nations are increasing in volume, and 

 the quality is generally superb. The nov- 

 elties are many and in constant demand 

 at $4 per hundred. The older varieties 

 go at from $1 to $3. The purchases 

 for Mothers' day, Sunday, May 11, will 

 hold prices firm until after that cele- 

 bration. The publicity given the day 

 by The Review has occasioned much 

 favorable comment; judicious advertis- 

 ing in the daily press by the enterpris- 

 ing retailers should do the rest. 



The best valley still is held at 4 

 cents, and the demand for society events 

 maintains this level for the selected. 

 It must be perfect to command this 

 price. Most of the supply sells from 3 

 cents down. There is no shortage in 

 the general supply. Longiflorum lilies 

 on Saturday, and in fact most of the 

 week, brought Easter prices for the 

 highest grade. There seems to be an 

 abundant supply, and the short-stemmed 

 stock sells slowly. Callas seldom go 

 above 75 cents to $1 per dozen. The 

 requiem has been sung, apparently, over 

 the violet industry for this season. A 

 few single ones still are seen. The 

 record of the year has not been a bril- 

 liant one. The best cattleyas are sell- 

 ing now at 60 cents. There are plentj' 

 of them anfl evidently many sources of 

 supply, as most of the wholesale houses 

 now handle them. Gigas, Mossise and 

 Schroederse are the varieties arriving, 

 the last being nearly at an end for this 

 season. Some fine double daffodils have
