This has had a bad effect on outdoor flowers, such as gladioli and asters, except where irrigation is possible. Trade also seemed to be affected as much as the flowers, and business was generally quiet.

Good lilies and valley also are cheap, so that it is possible to take satisfactory care of orders if customers will only take the kinds of flowers that ;ire good. Club Meeting.
