The most noticeable feature was the large influx of giganteums and callas. Up to this time, both of these have been selling nicely.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has for the last fortnight been receiv- ing large quantities of Killarney. Fred Lemon and Joe Hill, of Eich- mond, Ind., were in the city last week. C. H. H.
