With- out these flowers to help out, the market •would liave been decidedly short of cut Howers. There were about enough to go around, carnations being the leaders. Roses, snapdragons, bal)y gladioli, irises, daffodils and Darwin tulips were ready sellers. The Cleveland flower buyers are be- ginning to realize the true significance of Mothers' day. Our local advertising is done with a view to teaching the public that the proper flower to give or wear on Mothers' day is not the ^^rhite carnation, as worn by Miss Jarvis, hxxt the flower that is, or was, the mother's favorite flower.

Geraniums and other bedding stock cost from ten to fifty per cent more to grow the last year than in other years. Grow good, select stock and you can get any fair price you ask. F. A. F.
