Flower Market Reports 



(.Continued from page 517) 



carnations are improving both in 

 quality and quantity. Chrysanthe- 

 mums still lead with such fine varie- 

 ties as Chadwrick, Golden Wedding, 

 Dean and Chieftain prominent. The 

 best of the late pompons are now 

 available but receipts of well-grown 

 stock are very inadequate. Thanks- 

 giving stock is expected to be much 

 below normal and better prices than 

 formerly will undoubtedly prevail. 

 Business for November is proceeding 

 at a very satisfactory pace. A grea.ter 

 volume of trading is being done upon 

 a cash basis, and accounts are being 

 settled promptly. A change in the 

 character of business is evidenced 

 also, due to the wholesome Influence 

 of the ending of the war. 



Conditions are very 

 NEW YORK much the sam* as 

 last week. Chrysan- 

 themums have the preference with 

 buyers and are moving fairly well. 

 Roses are plentiful, quality good, 

 prices weak with the exception of A-1 

 Beauties; those of inferior quality are 

 slow to sell. Carnations are suffering 

 in price and inclined to accumulate. 

 The market in general Is well sup- 

 plied with a considerable variety of 

 stock. Violets show effect of the re- 

 cent warm weather. longiflorum 

 lilies are not In large supply but the 

 demand is very moderate. 



Short roses are 

 PHILADELPHIA about the only 



draggy item. Kll- 

 lameys and similar stock in the shorts 

 have been hard to sell at any pric& 

 The better sorts such as Russell went 

 much better and the trade seemed to 

 be after them and willing to pay fair 

 figures. The chrysantheimum market 

 has held up very well, with no over- 

 stock and fair prices all along the 

 line. In carnations a pretty good 

 showing was made especially early in 

 the week but later the weather was 

 against them and there was com-

With the abatement 

 ROCHESTER of the epidemic 



there has been a 

 corresponding decline in orders for 

 funeral work. Chrysanthemums are 

 the mainstay at this time and include 

 all varieties. Stock is exceptionally 

 good this season. There is a large 

 variety of pompons which sell very 

 good. The decline in business has 

 lowered prices on all flowers. Violets 

 are good but do not sell as rapidly 

 as they might. Snapdragons are fairly 

 plentiful. Calendulas are seen but do 

 not move very well. Roses of all 

 kinds are very abundant. Lilies are 

 not at all plentiful. There are greens 

 of all kinds and they sell well.
