It looks as though the heat has rushed the rose crops past their peak and that the supply will decrease rapidly. The same probably is true of carnations. Memorial Day with the Betailers. There is wide variation in what the retailers report of the Memorial day trade. Some of the downtown retailers who depend principally on transient trade say they had practically no extra demand, while those in the residence districts generally report excellent busi- ness. The cemetery florists in most cases had all the trade they could handle, but many of them complain bitterly of the fakers who appeared at the cemetery gates with wagon-loads of flowers, which they sold out at such low prices it made the real florists' prices look out of line to those who did not note qualities. The wagon peddlers always afford an outlet for the culls left at Memorial day, but it is asserted that this time they obtained more flowers than in any previous year, that they i)aid less, gave poorer value and hurt the regular florists more than usual. Various Notes. F. M. Johnson states it as his belief that the second half of 1921 will be bet- ter than the first half of the year from a business point of view. Mr. Johnson says the Randall salesmen, who go al- most everywhere, report that merchants of all classes are steadily reducing stocks of goods and that many are ap- proaching the point at which they must resume buying. He believes an increase in orders will be followed by the re- opening of factories, the reemployment of labor and renewed activity in all lines of business. Mr. Johnson says there are many evidences that florists have fared much better than most trades in the last year and he thinks any resumption of activity in general business will be reflected in our trade
