Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page od-jj 



The market story this 

 ST. LOUIS week is simply a ques- 

 tion of supply. Price 

 Is but a secondary matter. Flowers 

 are very scarce and demand is great- 

 ly increased by the increase of influ- 

 enza and death rate. With the dimin- 

 ishing supply of chrysanthemums, 

 roses and carnations are again at 

 their stations, with very stiff prices. 

 Many of the retailers are substituting 

 artificial flowers. Fancy ferns are 

 now quoted at $4.00 per 1000. Good 

 demand prevails for all kinds of 

 greens. Smilax very scarce. 



Thanksgiving Day 

 WASHINGTON business was better 



than expected. De- 

 mand was heavy and growers who had 

 desirable stocks coming in just in time 

 found no difficulty making sales at 

 good prices. This was particularly 

 true of Aaron Ward and Hadley roses. 

 Carnations are very scarce. Sweet 

 peas look pinched and show the effects 

 of being grown in cold houses. Double 

 violets are not shipping well and the 

 complaint is that they shatter on ar- 

 rival from Hudson River points. Sin- 

 gle violets are good and sell well.

AN AGED FLORIST 



George Main, who conducted a flor- 

 ist business at Concord from 1861 to 

 1901, and one of JIanchester's oldest 

 men, has lived to witness the celebra- 

 tion of victory and peace by America 

 at the close of four great wars. He 

 actively participated in those after 

 the Mexican, Civil and Spanish wars, 

 but was unable to parade the streets 

 with the joyous populace last week 



on account of his advanced age. He 

 celebrated in a quiet and unassuming 

 manner the 99th anniversary of his 

 birth on Nov. 24. The aged man has 

 voted at 19 presidential elections and 

 still regrets that he was unable to 

 vote for President Harrison in 1840 

 by the action of the Democrats in dis- 

 covering he was 15 days under the 

 required 21 years. 



For the last 17 years Mr. Main has 

 made his home with his daughter. 

 For four years he has been blind, al- 

 though for many years before devoid 

 of the sight of one eye by an acci- 

 dent at Concord. Twelve years after 

 the unfortunate affair he suffered a 

 shock which cost him nearly the loss 

 of the sight of his remaining eye. 

 His side was paralyzed but he recov- 

 ered eventually.
