FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 



{Continued from page Sll) 



Business sprang with a 

 CHICAGO tremendous bound from 



the depressed condition 

 of the entire month to the most live- 

 ly Memorial Day known in Chicago 

 for many years. It was from one ex- 

 treme to the other in so short a time 

 that buyer and seller could scarcely 

 understand each other and adjust 

 themselves to the new conditions. It 

 looks like the last blow to the hard 

 times and florists should certainly now 

 drop that expression when referring to 

 their business. Trade began early Fri- 

 day morning and when wholesalers 

 sought to advise their customers to 

 buy heavily some were inclined to be 

 skeptical, but in a few hours these 

 same ones were almost ready to beg 

 for the flowers which then could not 

 be bought. Buyers were anxious to fix 

 prices for Saturday delivery, but gen- 

 erally no one would agree to it and 

 Saturday found Friday's demand great- 

 ly exceeded. The greatest call was for 

 red; the last to go was white, a com- 

 plete change from a tew years ago. 

 Carnations can not be said to be equal 

 to the demand and the Cape jasmine 

 was not at all abundant. Roses were 

 more nearly equal in supply. The de- 

 mand for flowers Sunday was increased 

 by the fact that it was also Pentecostal

Day, a coincidence that has not oc- 

 curred for many years. Chicago flor- 

 ists are weary with their three and 

 one-half days' incessant rush, but not 

 so wearisomely weary as when they 

 sat ;ind waited for the business that 

 did not come. Gladioli sold at $1.50 

 per dozen on Saturday, but went slow- 

 ly as compared with other flowers. 

 Mignonette and marguerites also were 

 in the less desirable class. Asparagus 

 plumosa and Sprengeri did not move 

 as fast as had been anticipated. Spe- 

 cial reports from H. C. Blewitt of Des 

 Plaines, a specialist in sweet peas, A. 

 Meyer of Dalton, Anton Then, who 

 had a big crop of red carnations on, 

 Miss Tonner, who displayed the first 

 nasturtiums of the season, Chas. Wif- 

 fin, who specializes in stocks (not the 

 Wall street kind), E. H. Hunt Co., 

 Eassett & Washburn, Percy Jones, J. 

 A. Endlong. Poehlnianu Bros., George 

 Reinberg, .lohn Kruchten, Zeck & 

 Mann, C. W. McKellar, Miss Gunder- 

 berg. Benthy H. Coatsworth and Wei- 

 tor Bros., are invariably to the effect 

 that the quality of material on the 

 market was far above the average and 



that the sales were unprecedentedly 

 a..d unexpectedly large. 



Memorial Day, while 

 NEW YORK, a big occasion with 



the suburban and 

 cemetery florists, has in the central 

 flower districts of New York always 

 fallen short of its importance else- 

 where. The special demand, as a gen- 

 eral rule, is for showy, low-priced ma- 

 terial and enormous quantities are 

 shipped to the wholesale markets 

 where it is sold for what it will bring. 

 Peonies were a strong feature this 

 year, coming mostly from points fur- 

 ther south. Carnations experienced a 

 lively call and early in the game were 

 held at stiff prices, which, however, 

 had to break in the end. "There were 

 large receipts of roses, the lower 

 grades finding most ready buyers. 

 Lilies were plentiful and had to share 

 in the general depression which white 

 material experienced, the best demand 

 being for bright colored ' stock. Or- 

 chids and similar choice goods were 

 only in light request. The business 

 this week, since the holiday shows 

 improvement in this respect, however.
