FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 



(CokUhu^J /rem /,a^e c.07) 



The past week was a 

 CHICAGO most uneventful one in 



the eyes of most of the 

 florists, wholesale or retail. The plant 

 men are the only ones who did not 

 feel the reaction after the unusually 

 brisk Memorial Day trade. Various 

 theories have been advanced to ac- 

 count for the extreme dullness of the 

 month of June but none of them seem 

 wholly satisfactory. The fact remains 

 that flowers are not selling as they 

 should at this season of the year, ex- 

 cept with florists who have a large 

 shipping trade. Kaiserin and Carnot 

 roses are getting into fine shape now. 

 Carnations are hardly worth consider- 

 ing so light is the demand. Ferns 

 have taken a big drop and are now 

 selling at less than one-half the price 

 they brought two weeks ago, the price 

 at that time being abnormally high. 

 Most of the florists report their sales 

 as comparing well with one year ago 

 notwithstanding the low prices. Flor- 

 ists are preparing to close at 5 p. m.

during July and August, and an effort 

 is being made to close Sundays also. 

 And why should not the florist who 

 has worked hard all the week rest as 

 most of the world does on Sunday? 



Business has been 

 INDIANAPOLIS moving along very 



quietly the past 

 week, but it is pretty generally con- 

 ceded that present conditions are an 

 improvement over those of a year ago. 

 Though June weddings and commence- 

 ments have not greatly enriched the 

 florists they have helped some. At 

 present the market is weak with fall- 

 ing prices. Much inferior rose stock 

 is coming in. American Beauty and 

 Killarney are the best grade of roses 

 at the present time. Carnations are in 

 fair condition and moving nicely. 

 There is not much of a variety of" 

 stock but abundance of the kinds at 

 hand. Calla season is about over but 

 Harris! lilies are very much in evi- 

 dence. Iris, Shasta daisies, corn flow- 

 ers, larkspur. Coreopsis and stocks 

 furnish diversion from the blossoms 

 generally seen. Peony season is o .-er 



and cold storage stock is being used. 

 Bedding plants have had a big run 

 this season and stock is now pretty 

 well cleaned up, Vincas and good ger- 

 aniums are almost impossible to ob- 

 tain at the present time. Hardy cut 

 ferns are good property and meet a 

 good demand as well as asparagus and 

 other greens. 



Hot weather, abun- 

 NEW YORK dance of stock of all 



kinds and very little 

 business Is the discouraging condition 

 we are facing now. Roses and carna- 

 tions are showing the effect of the 

 high temperature. The usual spurt in- 

 cident to the school closings has not 

 materialized as yet. Everything is 

 cheap and not all of the stock can be 

 moved except at ruinous prices. Lilies 

 are particularly plentiful. Some im- 

 provement is hoped for before the end 

 of the week, but it would require con- 

 siderable of a demand to consume the 

 material now coming into the market 

 at even fair figures.
