SCARCITY OF FLOWERS
Hawke's Bay is at present experiencing a marked shortage of flowers, states the Napier "Telegraph." The unusually prolonged dry spell is held to be responsible for the position, growth of flowers planted in February and March having been seriously retarded. Napier florists state that jonquils and^Jceland poppies—in rather smaller supply fthan usual—are-the types of flowers in which the shortage is less apparent than in other classes, while prices are somewhat higher than is ordinarily the case. The season for flowering shrubs has to a certain extent been extended Toy the warm conditions.
