{Continued from page HOS) 



There is a strong call for well grown 

 plants, and the holiday supply is be- 

 ing seriously depleted. 



CINCINNATI market is becoming 

 more acute from day 

 to day. Prices are very high, but that 

 does not deter the efforts of the buyers 

 to get all the stock on which they can 

 place their hands. Roses are in fair 

 supply, but many more would sell if 

 they were available. Carnations are 

 far short of the actual demand for 

 them. Lilies and callas are snapped 

 up readily. A limited number of 

 chrysanthemums move as soon as un- 

 packed in the wholesale houses. Vio- 

 lets, lily of the valley and orchids 

 meet with a ready sale. Poinsettias 

 are coming in, also snapdragon, 

 sweet peas, forget-me-not, baby prim- 

 rose and wall flowers. Galax is meet- 

 ing with a big demand. 



The famine in flower 

 NEW YORK supply continues un- 

 abated, and is indeed 

 intensified, by the elimination of the 

 chrysanthemum. The receipts in all 

 grades of stock are inadequate for the 

 call, which is not overlarge locally but 

 is insistent from more or less remote 

 centers that are feeling the pinch and 

 are becoming very uneasy as to where 

 their supply for the holidays is to 

 come from. Prices have further stiff- 

 ened up from the abnormally high 

 level of last week and nobody can pre- 

 dict how far they will go. It has been 

 the custom in past seasons when flow- 

 er values have advanced before Christ- 

 mas to push plants as a substitute but 

 indications are many that flowering 

 plants are also in very scanty supply 

 and, in fact, growers are already 

 cleared out of stock. Enormous stocks 

 of dried and artificial material have 

 been laid in by stores of the medium 

 and ordinary type and an unpre- 

 cedented run on this sort of goods is 

 looked for. How far the high cost of

fresh flowers will act as a retarding 

 influence on their sale is not yet ap- 

 parent but there does not seem to be 

 any doubt that takers will be found 

 this year for them all, nevertheless. 



Expert salesmen 

 PHILADELPHIA are rather at a 



discount around 

 here at present. The goods sell them- 

 selves. Any old has-been can be a 

 salesman these days. Everything on 

 the scarce side. In the rose market 

 American Beauty and Mrs. Russell 

 hold their own in good shape. Splen- 

 did quality and moving off well at 

 high figures. Orchids are also well in 

 evidence, especially some fine lots of 

 cypripediums. Lilies have gone up 

 again and are now along about their 

 record of two months ago. Calendula^ 

 and mignonette are both fine. We 

 seldom see mignonette so good at so 

 early a date. 



The market 

 has been some- 

 what poor but 

 flowers of all kinds are very scarce. 

 Roses are the main stay at this time 

 and these are not in heavy supply. 

 Violets are scarce. Lilies are in fair 

 supply. The call for Christmas sup- 

 plies has been good and has inchuled 

 large quantities of artifical stuff, box- 

 wood and laurel roping.
