Flower Market Reports 



K'oiilinurd from ijage 445 1 



Business continues 

 CINCINNATI good but the supply 



has increased greatly 

 and has made the market much easier 

 than it was. Prices are fair, however. 

 and shipping business holds up well. 

 The chrysanthemum supply in all 

 varieties has become heavy. Roses are 

 (airly i)lentiful Carnations are still 

 somewhat short but since chrysanthe- 

 mums have become plentiful the de- 

 mand for carnations is weaker. Lilies 

 are again in the market after being 

 conspicuous, during the past fortnight, 

 only for their absence. Both dahlias 

 and cosmos are plentiful. A few 

 sweet peas and single violets are com- 

 ing in. 



The market is now 

 NEW YORK top heavy with stock 



of all kinds. Prices 

 receded sharply Monday and by Tues- 

 day was in bad shape with the added 

 material coming in and a falling off 

 of funeral work. Roses are not selling 

 well at the reduced figures: in fact, 

 they are hard to move at any price 

 comparable with a few days ago. Car- 

 nations are accumulating and chrysan- 

 themums are dragging. Large quanti- 

 ties of pompons are arriving, many of 

 which are as fine as ever lias been 

 marketed, yet they move slowly. The 

 warm, muggy weather no doubt has 

 had its influence on business and has 

 a most unfavorable effect on the qual- 

 ity of roses and carnations particu- 

 larly. Cattleyes and cypripediums are 

 meeting with slow sales. Violets show 

 the effect of the warm weather. The 

 limited number of longiflorum lilies 

 in the market seems suflRcient to meet 

 the demand. Outdoor stock is still 

 with us in plenty. 



Prices have 

 PHILADELPHIA eased up a little 

 here and trading 

 has become more normal. By the end 

 of the week there were even a few 

 surpluses in some lines. The weather 

 has been mild and pleasant and this 

 has kept the supply of outdoor flowers 

 including dahlias and asters well to 

 the front. The chrysanthemum is the 

 leader, of course, and there is a splen- 

 did supply from little to big — all 

 colors, all qualities and all prices.

Roses hold their own very well and 

 there are enough for all demands. The 

 higher grades remain about as last 

 quoted but there has been a come down 

 of quarter to half on the shorts. Car- 

 nations, as a rule, are fine as to size 

 and substance, although still below 

 normal as to stem. Orchids not quite 

 so plentiful. Sweet peas getting better 

 all the time and in good supply. The 

 lighter colors seem to predominate so 

 far. 



The demand 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. for flowers 



for funeral 

 work continues to clean up everything 

 that comes in and the market is in a 

 harassed condition. The demand is 

 far greater than the supply and grow- 

 ers who are cutting out-door stock are 

 more than fortunate. There is a good 

 supply of chrysanthemums. Roses are 

 in fair supply and good violets are in 

 fine condition and move easily. Carna- 

 tions are still very scarce. Lilies are 

 not plentiful and bring record prices.
