Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page 253) 

 do with it. But take it all in all tUe 

 aster is the star of the firmament in 

 the cut flower market just now, and 

 has the field pretty much to itself. 

 Roses continue very good from Rus- 

 sells down to Ward. In between, 

 worthy of mention, are White Killar- 

 neys and Ophelias. Lilies are also an 

 important standby and are in good 

 supply. What would be done without 

 them is hard to say. Lack of good 

 lily of the valley and other regulars in 

 white for memorial work throws it all 

 to the longiflorum and keeps prices at 

 unusually firm level for the summer 

 months. Gladioli are still in evidence 

 but they are getting smaller in stem 

 and flower. The early flowering 

 dahlias, in cactus, decorative, and 

 fancy, are bobbing up a little more 

 freely, and pretty soon these will be 

 "cutting some ice," at least in the 

 decorative and display work — although 

 they are not much for the memorial 

 end. Carnations, orchids, and a lot of 

 other usually notable ornaments of 

 the market are off on their annual 

 vacation and we trust are having a 

 good time. 



C o n d i t i ons 



ROCHESTER, N.Y. have not 

 c h a n ged ma- 

 terially since last week. The market 

 is overcrowded with gladioli and 

 asters. Both are arriving with their 

 tips burned and are soft and consider- 

 ably smaller than they should "le. 

 Growers are pleading for rain. All 

 outdoor stock is small and does not 

 sell very briskly. The supply of roses is 

 shortening up, but the supply is about 

 equal to the demand. The call for 

 white lilies is not large and auratum 

 lilies are in fairly good supply and sell 

 well. Carnations are small with a 

 meagre supply. 



The market this week 



ST. LOUIS owing to the renewed 

 warm spell was a 

 quiet one with plenty of flowers but 

 very little demand. The opening of 

 the theatres will perhaps help to 

 move things. Roses are improving, 

 carnations are small, asters, tube 

 roses and gladioli are in good supply 

 at all the houses.

Cazenovia, N. Y. — The Cazenovia 

 Greenhouses, owned by Mrs. Henry 

 Burden, will be closed this coming 

 winter because of the inability to ob- 

 tain a sufficient supply of coal. As the 

 buildings are not so arranged that 

 half can be closed and the other half 

 heated, it will be necessary to close 

 the entire plant. The closing will 

 mean a considerable financial loss as 

 there is a large stock on hand that 

 will have to be disposed of before 

 cold weather sets in.
