Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page 541) 

 for orchids, lily of the valley and the 

 choicer miniature roses. 



A sudden turn to 

 NEW YORK hard freezing temper- 

 atures has resulted in 

 a reduced cat of roses and generally 

 influenced a sharp advance in prices 

 on all flowers for Thanksgiving Day. 

 But when these notee are in print our 

 readers will know the Thanksgiving 

 Day story better than anybody can 

 predict it, hence, we "hold our horses" 

 until next issue, hoping everybody will 

 get what he expects, provided that 

 his expectation is fair and reasonable^ 

 We have had a 

 PHILADELPHIA fairly good week 

 here; no great 

 advance in prices but a pretty good 

 clean up. The short roses have gone 

 better and the finer qualities have 

 held their own very well. There Is 

 no glut of chrysanthemums and that 

 market Is in a very healthy condi- 

 tion. The crops of the finer varieties 

 seem to hav« materialized a little 

 earlier than usual, which makes it 

 look like a bit of a scramble for the 

 Thanksgiving trade. Carnations are 

 getting better in shipping condition. 

 The softness has disappeared, the 

 fine cool weather having hardened 

 them up. 



Chrysanthe- 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. mums of 

 good qual- 

 ity are the chief sellers in this market 

 but have been none too plentiful, as 

 most of the growers are looking for- 

 ward at this writing to a big Thanks- 

 giving trade. Roses are good but 

 have been quite scarce. Violets are 

 poor. Carnations of good quality and 

 sell well. Artificial baskets and 

 wreathe are already being made for 

 Christmais trade. 



The market the past 

 ST. LOUIS week was a strong one. 

 Funeral work and hos- 

 pital flowers kept the retailers busy, 

 and the latter part of week all flowers
