RED ROSES.
WREATHS FOB,
Florists in Auckland are -working night and day making wreaths and other floral emblems to be placed on the grave of the latt? Prime Minister on Sunday. Orders are pouring in especially for the more expensive kind of wreath. The majority of the order-i have been received from societies, but many private citizens have also ordered wreaths. So far there is no scarcity of flowers, except red roses. In many eases those ordering wreaths have insisted that they should be made of red flowers or an assortment of colours with red predominating.
"I have had a great demand for wreaths of red roses." said one florist. ''Red roses were the late Mr. SavageV favourite flower. They are now ver; scarce and in order to fulfil the order that I have received I have bough from one grower hie entire supply of re roecs."
