NO RISE IN Price
OF EASTER BLOOMS
Lilies of Valley Only Flower Hit by
High Cost of Living.

The cost OF flowers in Washington will
pe practically the came as last Easter,
despite the rising cost of living.
These will be the Easter prices:
American Beauty roses, 50 to Sl2 a
dozen, depending on the length OF stem.
Roses of all coiors, 81 to s. a dozen.
carnations, 81 to 81 dozen.
Lilies OF the valley. S.5o per dozen.
snapdragons. 50 a dozen.
Gardenias, so cents each.
Catleyea orchids, 81 each.
Tulips, jonquils. hyacinths, 80 cents to
y dozen.
Rester lilies, Sc dozen.
Gala lilies, IS per dozen
Marguerite daisies. 50 cents a dozen.
Sweet peas. s. a dozen.
The only increase in price over last
Easter Is in lilies of the valley which
were 81 a dozen last year.
Most lilies OF the valley are grown in
Germany, and the pips are placed in cold
storage and shipped to this country in
million lots, and sold here far cheaper
and in far better quality than lilies grown
here.
The allies prohibited the expectation of
all bulbs and plants from Germany. but
the German growers have been sending
millions of their plants to Copenhagen
and other neutral cities and there label
ing them as Danish. In 1916 more than
5o.ooo,OoO lily OF the valley pips were
labeled Danish" in Copenhagen and
shipped to New York, and then suddenly
the allies discovered what was happening
and stopped all suspicious bulbs and
plants. vs.
There are soOOO.Ooo or more lily OF the
valley pips in cold storage in New York
now" said William F. GUIDE yesterday,
with a wink, with Danish tags on them,
and that is more than can be raised in all
Denmark"
Mr.. GUIDE thinks this quantity will last
few months, and after that 1t Is uncer-
tain where the supply will come from.
This explains the raise in price.
Practically all the other Easter flow s-s
are grown in this country, except tulips
and some other bulbs. but the Dutch
growers are getting their bulbs through
