Flower Market Reports 



(Continued fro>n page 6>/ ) 



with ready sale. Outdoor things like 

 tulips and daffodils not so many. The 

 queer April weather has affected these 

 also, and the usual supplies are not 

 forthcoming as yet. 



The last week's 

 ROCHESTER business has shown 

 a very marked im- 

 provement in both wholesale and re- 

 tail markets. It is an old saying, "A 

 poor start means a bad end; a good 

 beginning— a grand finish." It was 

 pretty much so in our case. Most 

 florists were very busy on Sunday 

 with f neral work and each day fol- 

 lowing bringing its own work and 

 more of it. The rather unsettled 

 weather has brought much illness 

 along with it, and consequently many 

 cut as well as potted flowers are needed. 

 The spring days with the warm sun- 

 shine, have brought many inquiries 

 for veranda boxes and lawn work, 

 this, of course, reminding the green- 

 house men that their busy time is on 

 and will be until the end of June. The 

 market has been brisk, and there ba=5 

 been plenty of all kinds of stock. 

 Sweet peas are especially good, partic- 

 ularly in the bright cerise, which just 

 now is the fashionable shade among 

 the milliners. American Beautie=i are 

 with us and are of good color. There 

 are plenty of Harrisii lilies, of fair 

 quality, but no callas worth speaking 

 of. Pansips are being used much for 

 table decorations also marguerites 

 Carnations are very good and there 

 are large quantities. Snapdragons di 

 not sell quite so readily as one might 

 expect, but there is a large demand 

 for jonquils. 



The market durin? 

 ST. LOUIS the past week hal its 



ups and downs as to 

 supply and price. In tbe ea'ly part 

 of the week prices on carnations and 

 sweet peas were considerably higher 

 than later on when stock became over 

 plentiful and flowe's of all kinds sold 

 very low. At present their is plenty 

 of everything and prices reasonable. 

 A lot of out-door truck is coming in. 

 Wild smilax is hard to obtain but 

 there is plenty of other greens.
