The dreary, cold weather which we have had during the last week or two is more or less responsible for these conditions. There has been little sun, too, but stock continues to arrive in the usual large quantities. American Beauties are quite plentiful, but move slowly. Among the other roses, Hadley, Ophelia, Rus- sell, Sunburst and Ward are the best sellers and have great keeping quality, but the prices are quite low.
