For some reason our growers did not plant many sweet peas this year. There are no Boman hyacinths. Our growers simply refused to pay the prices asked for the bulbs. They have scarcely missed them, either. As to Dutch bulbous stock, we have seen few hyacinths thus far. The bulbs arrived too late to "be in bloom yet. Daffodils, especially those from home- grown bulbs, are fine. Again this year Jonquil odorus rugulosus is proving its worth. It multiplies wonderfully in the open and our home-grown bulbs force admirably and are always in demand. Home-grown Narcissus Golden Spur also is in evidence at present. In the open the fragrant bush honeysuckles are in bloom and the first forsythia and Spiraea prunifolia are showing color. It will be ten days before they are in full bloom, however. In sheltered places snowdrops and Southern Queen daffodils are showing bloom and hyacinths are well budded. Various Notes.

This means a demand for bedding and hardy stock this summer and fall. The florists att
