Flower Market Reports 



(Continutd from page 895) 



Plenty of stock of all 

 NEW YORK kinds is being re- 

 ceived. Business is 

 gradually dropping off and it begins 

 to look as if the end was in sight for 

 this season. It has not been at all sat- 

 isfactory from the standpoint of the 

 wholesale trade. Market conditions 

 have been favorable to the retail trade 

 all through the season, but even they 

 are not enthusiastic, as a rule, and 

 many are expressing dissatisfaction 

 with the season's outcome. No fault 

 can be found with the quality of the 

 {lowers supplied. Especially during 

 the past month has the average quality 

 excelled anything in past seasons for 

 corresponding date, the cool weather 

 proving a God-send in this respect. As 

 our quotations show, prices are drop- 

 ping and will soon reach summer basis. 

 Small roses are unloaded at any sort 

 of sacrifice. 



Demand last week 

 PHILADELPHIA ran mostly on 

 sweet peas, lily 

 of the valley and roses. Peonies also 

 went off in good shape — there being 

 some big orders for these every day. 

 On the whole it was a satisfactory 

 markec; there being a lot of wedding 

 and commencement work around, 

 which stirred up quite a little business 

 in wholesale centers. On account of 

 rainy, cold weather, outdoor sweet 

 peas, on which nearly everybody was 

 depending, proved quite a disappoint- 

 ment. The indoor stock came back to 

 their own again in consequence. The 

 latter are, of course, not so easily af- 



fected by cold or wet weather. Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses were plentiful and 

 the demand was about normal. There 

 are very few Liberties arriving; but 

 plenty of very good Richmonds. The 

 quality of Killarney and Maryland 

 keeps up excellently, as does that of 

 all other roses — exceptional for June. 

 White roses have been in better de- 

 mand as a general thing than many of 

 the colored. Carnations had their in- 

 ning Memorial week, and naturally, 

 receded to a more modest seat the past 

 few days. The "June girl" evidently 

 sorely needed lily of the valley, to 

 judge from the briskness of that mar- 

 ket. Happily her needs were all at- 

 tended to in good shape— plenty of fra- 

 grant stock and mostly high grade. 

 Gardenia growers are anxiously look- 

 ing for some improvement in their 

 market and some is certainly coming 

 to them. Things in that line were the 

 faintest trifle better. Orchids fairly 

 plenty and quality very good. In out- 

 side material in addition to peonies 

 and sweet peas, the most important 

 new items are Gladiolus Shakespeare 

 (and other choice varieties from 

 Southern points), lychnis and coreop- 

 sis. Peonies will probably be avail- 

 able for a couple of weeks yet; but 

 the local cut is about over— with the 

 exception of a few of the very late 

 varieties.
