Business is moving 

 DETROIT along briskly. Bulbous 



stock is coming in freely 

 and disposed of in like manner. Roses 

 are very scarce at present; several 

 growers being off crop and au in- 

 creased demand for school commence- 

 ments are the principal causes. Prices 

 for this article have consequently ad- 

 vanced very much. Violets, on the 

 other hand, have declined. The auto- 

 mobile show was no money maker for 

 the florist, still we do not complain, 

 because many a banquet during the 

 year as well as liberal buying by their 

 oflicers and sto,ckholders, fully covers 

 this apparent deficiency. 



Last week saw some 

 NEW YORK good seasonable busi- 

 ness in the wholesale 

 flower section, but at present writing 

 conditions are not so lively. Even last 

 week's activity was due more to light 

 supply of flowers than to augmented 

 demand, and it is quite evident that the 

 florist trade as a whole for the winter 

 season of 1 009-10 will not measure up 

 to the pioportions predicted by san- 

 guine operators early in the season. 

 As to quality, nothing but praise is 

 due most of the stock being received. 

 Roses are and will be for some time 

 at their best. Daffodils, doubl.e and 

 single, and tulips in various colors are 

 very plentiful and improving in quality 

 from day to day. Single violets are 

 more in evidence than ever before in 

 this market and are rapidly gaining on 

 the doubles in popularity, as they 

 should. Orchids are in very light sup- 

 ply. 



There was very 

 PHILADELPHIA, little change in 

 the conditions 

 of this market last week. On the 

 whole the improved situation was 

 maintained, and prices generally re- 

 mained firm. Towards end of week 

 there was considerable doing in car- 

 nations — the McKinley Day celebra- 

 tion helnins out auite some. Roses

 ally good. Some extra fine Killarneys 

 have been coming in. American

 white roses are where they are. Lily 

 ply. White tulips are now plentiful 

 and these help to see the retailers 

 through in their design work while 

 white roses are what they are. Lily 

 of the valley has been a little sluggish. 

 Violets are more plentiful and show- 

 ing marked activity as compared with 

 early part of the season. Gardenia 

 prices are still low but the stock 

 cleans \\\> well. Both local and out of 

 town demand for orchids above par. 



Acacia, freesia, daisies, daffodils,

McKinley day beat 

 TWIN CITIES the record this 



year. There has 

 never before been such a demand for 

 carnations. But not only Carnation 

 day, but the whole week was a very 

 good one for wholesalers as well as 

 retailers. Roses are still mighty 

 scarce. Violets are coming In a little 

 better, but still not enough to supply 

 the demand. Daffodil and tulips are 

 just beginning to come in, but so fa' 

 are I'ather below grade.
