Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page 743) 



The general tone of 

 NEW YORK the market is dull. 

 Supply of most every 

 kind of stock is more than enough to 

 meet daily requirements, and prices 

 rule low for the season. The cut of 

 Beauties, Killarneys and Marylands 

 is heavy, which makes almost impos- 

 sible daily clearances. Carnations are 

 not particularly numerous, but are 

 cheap because of other material being 

 so plentiful. There are plenty of 

 Bridesmaids and Brides, and quite 

 enough of cattleyas and gardenias, 

 the latter selling at very low figures. 

 Thousands of bunches of A-1 quality 

 sweet peas are shipped in every day, 

 and all find a market at some figure. 

 Lilies are in good supply. Of the out- 

 door stock the sum is made up of 

 lilac, lily of the valley and peonies, 

 most of the latter coming from neigh- 

 boring southern states, and a few from 

 Jersey and the demand foi them is 

 tame. 



Wind up was 

 PHILADELPHIA very satisfactory 

 last week. White 

 carnations realized good figures, al- 

 though probably not as high as antici- 

 pated. There were fully twice as many 

 white carnations sold this year for the 

 Mothers' Day event as last year, at 

 conservative estimate, some authori- 

 ties claiming that three times would 

 be nearer the mark. Other flowers 

 were affected by this event, also, there 

 being a great many used in mortuary 

 work where otherwise the white car- 

 nation would have come in. The gen- 

 eral tone of the market was sluggish 

 eai'Iy in the week but brisked up very 

 materially later. Roses and the gen- 

 eral line of flowers in the darker colors 

 were not in as good demand — the 

 lighter colors all along the line clean- 

 ing up best. Festiva Maxima peonies 

 are the harbingers in the oncoming 

 army of these, which will be in fine 

 shape this year for Memorial Day 

 work. 



An old-time, busy spring is reported 

 by the Detroit garden planters and 

 florists. Bedding plants selling 

 briskly.
