Fortunately for the dealers. the busiest season
IS over, for there is month IN the year which
keeps florist busy June the month of wed
dings, school commencements and departures for
Europe. Just the chief demand for flowers is
occasiOned by funerals steamer departures

scarce and expensive. Some growers forcing
Easter lilies into blossom. and a demand for them
has arisen, although they, too. are high priced.
The troubles that visiting the large flower
dealers are affecting in corresponding degree those
persons who are interested in gardening in a small
way. One woman who is obliged TO spend her sum-
sners in the city deyotes much time and labor and
no small amount OF money in making her back
yard attractive nook This year. despite CON
slant care and daily watering with the hose, the
sweetpeas refuse TO blossom and the nasturtiums,
usually luXuriant. have nearly half of them
shrivelled up. The morning glories alone which
are always hardy show no signs of decay. and
will undoubtedly bloom well in time
