supply and high prices never make so 

 good a total of sales as a large supply 

 and moderate prices. 



N. J. Wietor says that the buyers 

 pick up Sunburst rose whenever they 

 see it on the counter. 



O. W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 says he thinks there will be little diffi- 

 culty in making clean sales on all stock 

 cut between now and Memorial day. 



Tim Matchen, sales manager for Peter 

 Eeinberg, says Mothers' day far ex- 

 ceeded his expectations and that white 

 roses sold almost as well as white car- 

 nations. 



The official report of the Florists' 

 Club 's meeting will be found in another 

 column of this issue. T. E. Waters, 

 chairman of the committee, states that 

 the annual picnic will be held Au- 

 gust 17. 



Harry Manheim, with Hoerber Bros., 

 says the education of the public regard- 

 ing colored flowers for Mothers' day is 

 not yet complete and points to the full- 

 page story in the Sunday feature section 

 of the Tribune as an example. The 

 writer evidently had failed to read the 

 advertisements in her own paper and 

 made the white carnation the exclusive 

 flower of the day. 



"If Mothers' day continues its prog- 

 ress as a flower day it will soon be nec- 

 essary to find some way to meet the 

 demand," is the way Charles Erne, of 

 Erne & Klingel, expresses himself. * ' Of 

 course, the crops were not all on, but 

 there is no question that there was a 

 far larger demand than a year ago and 

 fully double that of two seasons back. ' ' 



According to John F. Kidwell, of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association, 

 the temperature went below 28 degrees 

 on the evening of May 10, but so far 

 no damage was done to peonies or other 

 field stock, although some fruit trees 

 were slightly nipped around the Well- 

 worth Farm district. 



W. J. Smyth reports an excellent 

 April and a good start for May, with 

 a fine run of funeral work. He now 

 gets around without the use of a cane 

 and his leg is almost as good as before 

 his winter accident. 



C. L. Washburn has some doubts as to 

 Whether the carnation crops will be on 

 in time for Memorial day. "It all de-
