Flowers are plentiful, especially asters, whicli are seen in a great variety of form and color. The good stock sells up pretty clean. Roses are a shade better and more plentiful. Some very fair local American Beauties from the new plants are coming in. Gladioli are in demand, that is, the good varieties, and carna- tions are appearing and show up well for the season.

Cybotiums will also be in demand, as it has been found to be just as hardy in the house as the Boston fern and as a decorative plant it has no equal. Cyr- tomium falcatum is also seen in pans, its broad glossy leaves making it a general favorite.

The white variety is of good size and is well adapted for funeral woi'k, and can be had with stems twelve to eighteen inches in length.
