There has been quite a demand for American Beauty roses for the steamer trade. Taft and Hilling- don have sold well, being preferred to Killarney, which is growing less pop- ular. Carnations are in fair shape but are not selling, being dumped to the street men who buy them by the wagon load on Saturday at their own price, something like a nickel a bunch of 25.

Peonies from cold storage are still in good shape and are used in the decorations with good effect. Lily of the valley has been in fair demand at the usual price.
