There is an abundance of funeral work at present and the demand for cut flowers for deco- rative work is large; corsage work also is heavy. The supply of roses is good, with tlio exception of American Beauty. Prices have dropped since New Year's. The rcceii)ts of carnations are larger than they have been since the holidays. A great many of the blooms are used in funeral work. The prices have lowered considerably. The supply of eattleyas is good. This also is true of cypripediums, vandas and oncidiums. The local demand for orchids has increased substantially this season. Longiflorum and rubrum lilies are in good sujiply and meet with a good call for funeral work. Valley is on the scarce side. Other offerings are snap- dragons, which are in moderate supply, sweet peas, violets, Paper White nar- cissi, callas and tulips. Various Notes. "\V. .T. A: ^1. S.
