Flower Market Reports, 



{^Continued from pa£e 51) 



All reports Indl- 

 INDIANAPOLIS cate a record- 

 breaking Christ- 

 mas trade. The weather was favor- 

 able up to Christmas eve when the 

 heavy snow storm badly interfered 

 with traffic. Stock of all kinds was 

 plentiful and growers as well as re- 

 tailers were well satisfied with results. 

 The demand for flowering plants seems 

 to be increasing every year. Poin- 

 settias, azaleas, cyclamens and bego- 

 nias seem to be the favorites and a 

 clean-up Is reported by the majority 

 of the retailers. There seems to have 

 been a noticeable falling off this year 

 in the cut flower trade owing to stiff 

 prices asked. Violets, lily of the val- 

 ley and orchids for corsages had the 

 heaviest call in years. Plant baskets 

 maintained their popularity and were 

 more or less substituted for American 

 Beauty roses and other high priced 

 stock. Red immortelle wreaths, box- 

 wood, holly and laurel festooning were 

 handled in the usual quantities. 



New Year's business 

 NEW YORK was not marked by 



any unusual features, 

 Friday's shipment, as a I'ule, were 

 those of an ordinary week end in size 

 and growers showed wisdom by not 

 reserving their stock tor this holiday, 

 as the buyers' requirements were 

 moderate. No advance in prices above 

 those prevailing during the week, was 

 posible. Beauties and Killarneys 

 were in good supply. Richmonds and 

 Marylands not quite so numerous and 

 Bridesmaids and Brides were not con- 

 spicuous in quantity. Carnations sold 

 very well at moderate figures and none 

 were left by Sunday. Violets suffered 

 a set bac)s' New Year's Eve and clear- 

 ances were effected only with the aid 

 of the street men. Lily of the valley 

 did not have much of a move to it, 

 neither did sweet peas. As a whole 

 the market was tame and if it were 

 not that supplies were ordinary the

result would have been different. 

 The fii-st half of the present week is 

 dull. Stock is coming in — particularly 

 carnations and pink roses, — -as if crops 

 were on. Quotations are unsteady on 

 all kinds of flowers. Roman hyacinths 

 and paper whites are plentiful and 

 getting cheaper. Tulips and daffodils 

 are in the market though it doesn't 

 look as it there was mucli room for 

 them with the limited demand now 

 prevailing. Cypripediums move 



slowly. 



Transient trade 

 PHILADELPHIA was almost at a 



standstill New 

 Year's week owing to the storm block- 

 ade. If it had not been for many ad- 



vance orders booked weeks ago for so- 

 eial affairs things would have been 

 very bad, indeed. On the whole, the 

 total overturn was pretty good — all 

 things considered— but, of course, not 

 as good as last year by a long way. 

 There was an abundance of good flow- 

 ers in roses, carnations, and all the 

 leading staples. Orchids and lily of 

 the valley improved in demand main- 

 ly on account of the large amount of 

 mortuary work. Violets shortened up 

 and moved fairly well.
