Another Memorial Day 

 CHICAGO is over and florists gen- 

 erally are pleased with 

 the outcome. In a general way condi- 

 tions were very satisfactory. Stock 

 was not so abundant that prices were 

 low nor yet so high as to be prohibi-' 

 live. Carnations ranged from four to 

 six dollars and on Friday and Saturday 

 were about equal to the demand, but 

 on Sunday there was a shortage. Mon- 

 day morning brought plenty but the 

 demand was over. It was a Decoration 

 Day trade devoted to indoor stock 

 mostly. Caiie .jasmines from the south 

 and peonies from any possible' source 

 were the only flowers from outside. 

 Some of the jasmine experienced 

 warm weather in transit and was poor 

 in consequence, but the most of it was 

 of good grade. Peonies were short and 

 prices usually high. The keeping qual- 

 ities of the stock are said by many to 

 be rather poor. Roses were sufflcient 

 in number except Rlchmonds and 

 Beauties. The retail florists report the 

 Injury to the peonies to be very appar- 

 ent in their keeping qualities. That 

 the crop is decidedly short is now ad- 

 mitted by all. 



New York City florists' 

 NEW YORK customers don't make 



much trouble on Dec- 

 oration Day. There is a big consump- 

 tion of flowers in the outlying districts 

 and throughout the Long Island ceme- 

 tery section and florists catering to 

 that element have their hands more 

 than full. Consequently the wholesale 

 markets are overrun with demand for 

 moderate priced material, for the mo- 

 ment, but the regular trade which 

 must be looked to for support three 

 hundred and sixty-five days in the 

 year make no particular demonstra- 

 tion on Memorial Day and the goods 

 which must look to this element for 

 appreciation enjoy no special privi- 

 leges on this occasion. Moderate 

 priced flowers sold out good, if of ac- 

 ceptable quality, on the day"s preced- 

 ing Memorial Day. Carnations, if 

 good, brought fine prices throughout 

 and roses of medium grade were in 

 excellent demand. Otherwise, the 

 normal serenity of the wholesale sec- 

 tion was not disturbed in any notice- 

 able degree by the Memorial Day 

 sentiment.

Decoration Day found the 

 ST. LOUIS market surprisingly high 



in prices, much more than 

 the trade expected to pay, especially 

 with the big amount of stock on the 

 market. The demand was not so great 

 v.ith the retailers on Decoration Day 

 as was the day before with orders for 

 shipments to small nearby towns. The 

 florists near the cemeteries did a big 

 business witli plants, cut flowers be- 

 ing too high in price. The whole- 

 salers were asking for carnations as 

 high as $6 per 100 for fancy stock, and 

 $4 to $.5 for first grades. Roses brought 



from $.'i to $S; Beauties, $3.5 to $50 for 

 long fancy; sweet peas, all the way 

 from 35 to 75 cents; lily of the valley, 

 %Z to $4. Peonies were not overplenti- 

 ful at $5 to %'i\ lilies and callas, $10 

 to $12.50; gladioli, $6 to $S. All sorts 

 of greens sold well and there was 

 plenty of it for all.
