Flower Market Reports 



[Continued from page H) 



Business continues 

 WASHINGTON very good and de- 

 spite an unprece- 

 dented shortage of stock orders are 

 being filled. Roses and carnations 

 continue poor and undesirable, but 

 other flowers are coming in to take 

 their places. Prices generally are good 

 and all offerings are taken up as soon 

 as made known. The constantly in- 

 creasing population is keeping things 

 moving and according to well known 

 retailers there seems little likelihood 

 of a dull period this year.
