Mention the American Florist when writing Toronto. A SHORTAGE IN ROSES. Exceptional business and unfavor- able darlv weather have made a decided shortage in roses, in American Beau- ties the cut is very limited, while Kil- larney, Richmond, Bridesmaid and Brides are not nearly plentiful .^nough to go around. The stock that is com- ing in is of exceptional good quality and a much larger cut is promised by the middle of the month. The cut of carnations is increasing daily and the quality of the best; prices are re- ceding somewhat and will get down to normal soon. Violets are now at rock bottom and the cut-rate stores are in their glory with fairly good stock selling at three bunches of twenty-five each for fifty cents. Orch- ids are in heavy supply, good demand and at reasonable prices. Cattleyas trianae and Percivaliana, Laelia au- tumnalis, anceps and albida, Dendro- bium Wardianum. nobile and crassi- node, Lycaste Skinneri and cypriped- iums in variety give an idea of the ex- tensive scale on which they are now grown in this section. Lily of the val- ley is fine and plentiful, lilies in fair supply and bulbous stock of all va- rieties, with a good assortment of flowering plants. With the exception of smilax, green goods are scarce. NOTES.
