It increased far beyond expectations. Everything was spld out by noon on Sunday. Pot plants and basket work of all kinds sold well. It has become almost as good a day as any of the others, but it is unfortunate that the price of car- nations goes so high. Good roses were cheaper than good carnations and the retailer talked roses or small pot plants and they sold just as briskly. The passing of the heavy supply of stock has resulted in prices stiffening a lit- tle, except on roses, which stayed nor- mal eyen on Mothers' day. The sup- ply and demand are more nearly equal than they have been for some time. Lilies and snapdragons are bringing a fair price. The outdoor stock is look- ing promising for the near future. Various Notes. Samuel Murray had a fine display of gloxi9ias, which sold readily for Mothers' day. The W. L. Eock Flower Co. cut 30,- 000 carnations from its greenhouses last week. Arthur Newell says he sold as many roses as carnations last week, as he did not try to make a. big profit on roses. Miss Edith Roberts, formerly with the Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., is with the Costello-Moore Floral Co. permanently. The Peterson Floral Co. reports a heavy run on corsage bouquets for Mothers' day, especially those made of carnations. A. F. Barbe, opposite the main en- trance to Elmwood cemetery, noticed a large increase in the decorating of graves for Mothers' day. W, J.
