Flower Market Reports 



{Continued from ffagt 831) 



This market is in a 

 NEW YORK state of congestion, 

 consequent, in part, 

 upon tlie sudden hot term, following a 

 protracted period of cool weather. As 

 to the quality of the material in sight 

 not much can be said that is favor- 

 able. On some things which are in 

 over-stock at present writing stiff 

 prices are quoted for later delivery, 

 but there is very little of the stock 

 which is now ready that can be held 

 back until it is needed. The peony is 

 in the height of its glory and easily 

 leads the procession as to quantity and 

 quality. Stocks and lilies are also very 

 fine. 



Contrary to pre- 

 PHILADELPHIA vailing conditions 

 for many weeks 

 past, last week had a poor wind-up — 

 consequent on a few warm days, and 

 the influx of both greenhouse and out- 

 door stock. Much of both was rather 

 soft and that accentuated the unfavor- 

 able situation Carnations were prob- 

 ably the worst sufferers of all from 

 the sudden change. Outside of this, 

 the volume of business for the week 

 was a fair average. That is, there was 

 as much business as last year; but 

 at lower prices. This, of course, is a 

 sure index that production is more 

 than keeping pace with consumption. 

 And it would have been much worse 

 if we had not been favored by Provi- 

 dence with cool weather during three- 

 quarters of' May. The American 

 Beauty market held its own about as 

 well as any one item, but we hear 

 of several good-sized accumulations 

 that were sold very cheap by Satur- 

 day. Richmonds and Liberties both 

 showed up in good shape — the former 

 especially. Good authorities claim that 

 Richmonds have never before been 

 seen on this market in such fine con- 

 dition at this season of the year. 

 Among the white roses there is noth- 

 ing at present that can beat Kaiserin. 

 Being treated as a H. P. gives this 

 variety a big advantage in strong 

 shoots and grand substance. Sweet 

 peas came in in strong force; but held 

 their own fairly well as to price. This 

 good showing will be of short dura- 

 tion, however, as we hear of outdoor 

 stock already, and another week or^so 

 will make these latter a big factor. 

 Peonies are opening up fast and will 

 be a strong factor for Memorial Day 

 orders. The last tew days have seen 

 a big transformation in the forward- 

 ness of this crop. Locally (May 23), 

 they are all coming with a rush. Or- 

 chids very good, demand rather slow. 

 Principal offerings: Mossiae, Gaskel- 

 liana, Jamesianum. Lily of the valley 

 market in excellent shape and no over- 

 stock. Gardenias are very good, but 

 for some reason the demand for same 

 does not seem to be at all lively at 

 present. Gladioli a good, strong fea- 

 ture — America in the Gandavensis and 

 Blushing Bride and Peach Blossom in 

 the miniature type.

The unusually cold 

 WASHINGTON spell that has pre- 

 vailed for about 

 ten days was succeeded by several 

 heated days. On the afternoon ot the 

 L'4th of May a very severe rain and 

 wind storm swept over Washington, 

 doing a great deal of damage to trees, 

 both large and small. Business is very 

 sluggish, there being a small demand 

 tor anything but cheap grade of 

 flowers. Peonies are over-plentiful, 

 likewise carnations. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



The rose and peony show of the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has 

 been finally scheduled for Wednesday, 

 June 1st, opening at 2 p. m. 



George Craig, Pennock Bros., and M. 

 C. Dunn had the principal floral pieces 

 at the King Edward memorial services 

 on the 20th at Saint Mark's. The 

 floral offerings were not quite so lavish 

 as on the occasion of the Victoria 

 services, some nine years ago. Never- 

 theless, they were very well done, ap- 

 propriate and in good taste. 



Chas. Pappas, who succeeded N. B. 

 Gachor at the Broad St. Station flower 

 stand, about middle of last April, re- 

 ports improved and increasing busi-i 

 ness right along. Mr. Pappas is an 

 enterprising retailer and not afraid to 

 carry good stock and plenty of it. That 

 latter feature alone is a strong factor 

 in the success of a business of this 

 kind. 



Commodore Westcott announces the 

 date of the annual opening of the 

 Waretown Rod and Gun Club on Bar- 

 negat Bay, as June 24th. The club 

 house has been newly painted and ren- 

 ovated, and everything put in order 

 for the send-off. The Commodore him- 

 self is in good health and ready to 

 welcome his guests with all his old- 

 time heartiness and simplicity. Gold 

 and silver and fine linen and sport are 

 good things, but where would their 

 savor be without the Commodore— and 

 the glorious and distinguished com- 

 pany he can gather around him to en- 

 joy them?
