Flower Market Reports. 



(ContinurJ from f.,gf rV) 



by the 25th if weather is favorable. 

 The early officinalis variety— red, pink, 

 and white,— has been in for ten days. 

 Outdoor irises, blue and yellow mostly, 

 are conspicuous— as are also lilac and 

 dogwood spiays. Church work called 

 for a good many Easter lilies at the 

 wind up but not enough to absorb the 

 week's surplus. 



The oldest inhabitant 

 NEW YORK of the wholesale 



flower district recalls 

 no time when the trade prices of roses 

 and carnations sustained such a sud- 

 den and stunning blow as they have 

 experienced during the past few days. 

 Conditions as described in our trade 

 report for last week only hinted at the 

 demoralization which was impending. 

 All items in the list are keeping com- 

 panv together at the foot of the tobog- 

 gan slide and in fact our price quota- 

 tions as published afford only a very 

 inadeauate idea of the facts as known 

 to those who are on the spot as grow- 

 ers and wholesale dealers. It would 

 seem that every rose and carnation 

 plant is bent upon putting forth a be- 

 lated product sufficient to even up in 

 numbers for any and all remissness 

 during the recent winter season. Of 

 American Beauty roses there are 

 veritable carloads— sufficient to have 

 produced snug fortunes for their 

 owners had they been obtainable a few 



weeks ago but now, alas, hardly able 

 to realize the cost of cutting, packing 

 and transportation and to rub it in 

 ■good and proper," other markets In 

 a similar predicament are unloading 

 their surpluses here as a last ditch 

 resort. All other roses are in propor- 

 tionately the same fix, carnations 

 bringing scarcely 25 per cent of the re- 

 turns of a tew days back. Southern 

 lilacs are coming in by the dozen 

 bales and the climax of faith in New 

 York's capacity to digest anything 

 that comes along is seen in bundles of 

 undeveloped peony buds sent all the 

 way from Missouri. It is, indeed, 

 an experience altogether caloilated to 

 cause anyone building new green- 

 hones to sit down and do some figur- 

 ing and induce something akin to the 

 shivers in any grower pinning his faith 

 to the old-time houses and the ways 

 of "the good old days." 



San Francisco florists I'eport good 

 business, orchids, carnations, violets 

 and roses being in good demand.
