Flower Market Reports. NEW YORK QUOTA FIOWS PER 100. To Dealers Only 



{Continufd from page Jtt) 



Growers and whole- 

 NEW YORK salers are justified iu 



feeling discontented 

 with the present marliet situation here. 

 On the other hand, the street hawkers 

 and proprietors of corner stands are 

 in high feather over the stagnation in 

 the cut flower trade caused by tlie com- 

 bination of over-production and light 

 demand. The loss of the out-of-town 

 call which formerly helped out the 

 congestion in this market is severely 

 felt at such a time as this. It seems 

 impossible to drum up any country 

 trade which is disposed to take 

 chances at the low rates on large quan- 

 tities and help unload the local bur- 

 den. The street dealers and others 

 who cater to the cheaper class of buy- 

 ers are the only resort under the cir- 

 cumstances, and as to values — "they 

 don't do a thing to them." Lilies, 

 roses, carnations, violets and all the 

 "bulbous" flowers are alike congested 

 this week. Weather variations help 

 out temporarily on some days, but the 

 average is a dull and overloaded mar- 

 ket in all the wholesale districts. 



7,000 street car 

 PHILADELPHIA, men on strike, 

 and all urban 

 transportation tied up, is what faces 

 Philadelphia this week. As a natural 

 consequence there is "rough house" all 

 over the city and the timid stay at 

 home. No transient trade is being 

 done and shipments are piling up all 

 along the line. The florists' trade 

 suffers as well as every other trade. 

 There seems to be no limit to the long 

 suffering of the American public. 

 There is no such thing as "compulsory 

 arbitration" in this land of the free. 

 Last week trade was rather sluggish, 

 and the looked-for improvement after 

 the first week of Lent did not materi- 

 alize. The weather was too cold for 

 the street men, for one thing. The 

 other reasons are too obscure to be 

 easily diagnosed. A comparison with

ta 



the same week in 1909 shows a large 

 falling off for 1910; but it was not 

 Lent yet in 1909. American Beauty 

 roses are no more plentiful and they 

 are about the only things holding 

 their own as to prices. Roses gener- 

 ally are more than the market can 

 absorb with the exception of white. 

 There seems to be room for another 

 good white rose or two yet. White 

 Killarney has its off spells notwith- 

 standing all its good qualities. Bride 

 does not pick up any. Kaiserin. of 

 course, is only good for summer. Frau 

 Karl bruises, and is out of the ques- 

 tion commercially. So it would seem 

 that there is still a field for otir Cooks 

 and Hills and Dicksons. We have 

 enough of pink roses for the present. 

 Carnations are plentiful, and the 

 chances are that they will be even 

 more so for some time to come. 

 Violets are selling very well — espe- 

 cially first quality doubles. Orchids 

 are in good demand — white varieties 

 and cattleyas being the best sellers. 

 Cypripediums hang fire, and have 

 dropped in price. Gardenias are com- 

 ing along nicely; but prices rule much 

 lower tnan at this time last year, 

 mainly on account of increased pro- 

 duction. The mignonette and sweet 

 pea market is in fairly good shape; 

 but other minor items such as freesia, 

 myosotis, candytuft and bulbous stock, 

 is very unsatisfactory. Greens are 

 scarce — good plumosus especially.
