Flower Market Reports 



{Continued fro*n page 7CXj) 



Tendency this week is 

 NEW YORK in the direction of sur- 

 pluses and lower fig- 

 ures on all but the few select high- 

 grade flowers which are sold in so 

 small quantities as to make very little 

 impression on the final average. 

 Warmer weather is now surely due 

 and its advent is certain to embarrass 

 the market as there is a big reserve 

 crop of outdoor and indoor material 

 which has been held back by the pre- 

 vailing dark and generally chilly 

 weather. Quality is good, as a rule, in 

 all lines. Roses are excellent, the 

 weather conditions suiting them exact- 

 ly. Cattleyas are very fine with a ten- 

 dency to reduced supply. Sweet peas 

 are increasing in quantity and there 

 are now more than enough to go 

 around. Lilies very plentiful. Bulbous 

 material from out of doors on the 

 wane. 



As the season ad- 

 PHILADELPHIA vances there Is 

 now very little 

 hope left for any general advance in 

 prices. There may be a slight spurt 

 In spots from time to time until the 

 summer arrives in real earnest but 

 the bolt is shot for this season and all 

 concerned may as well make up their 

 minds to digest their medicine and be 

 as philosophical under the circum- 

 stances as they can. While stock was 

 plentiful last week there was no great 

 over-supply. A few cool days had a 

 tendency to prevent a glut, and the 

 demand has kept up all right. Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses continue of fine 

 quality and in good supply. Rich- 

 monds are also good and there are a 

 few Libertys of the new crop com- 

 mencing to arrive. Not enough to be 

 a factor in the mar'-et as yet but 

 enough to show fine quality and good 

 promise. Kaiserin tops the list in 

 ■white roses with White Killarney and 

 Bride good seconds. .Jardine leads 

 among the pink varieties and Mary- 

 land is also very good. Harry Kirk 

 and Duchess of Wellington are two 

 new yellows that have appeared on 

 the market recently and meet with 

 good favor. Both are Dickson intro- 

 ductions. Carnations are in good sup- 

 ply and there apnears excellent pros- 

 pects for some extra business in these 

 (whites especiallv) towards end of 

 ■week. The "Mothers Day" fad. May 

 Sth, is the stimulating influence in

that connection. Orchids are scarce. 

 Outside sources have been called on 

 — the past few days — to augment 

 local supplies. Peonies have made 

 their advent. The red and pink of- 

 ficinalis and the red tenuifolia are th^ 

 only varieties so far; but Festiva is 

 well advanced and may be looked for 

 about the 15th if the weather keeps 

 good. Lilac, outdoor crop from near 

 by sources is over; but there are al- 

 ready plenty of fine snowballs to be 



had. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



New crop American Beauty roses 

 from outside sources have been ar- 

 riving at McKissick's the past week — 

 grand flowers and perfect foliage. 



H. F. Mirhell Co. are exceedingly 

 busy at present but not so forgetful 

 as to omit asking us to remind our 

 florists friends that May is the time 

 to sow cineraria seeds. Verb: sap. 



M. Rice, of M. Rice Sz Co., writes 

 from Berlin that he has landed some 

 special .good things for florists' use for 

 the coming season. He expects to sail 

 for home May 22nd on S. S. President 

 Grant. 



C. P. Poryzees of the Poryzees 

 Floral Co.. sailed for Greece on the 

 3rd inst. on the S. S. Patris. He will 

 return in September. The business in 

 the meantime will be in charge of his 

 brother Stephen. 



J. Monroe Palmer of Kennett, will 

 build two houses 128 ft. x 140 ft. for 

 carnations. The materials will be 



supplied by lord & Burnham Co., the 

 contract having been secured last week 

 through their local agent D. T. Connor. 



Robert Scott iV- Son will tear down 

 four or five old houses this summer, 

 having given up the growing of plants 

 for the mail order trade. They will 

 devote themselves more largely to 

 commercial cut flowers and will be 

 able to give increased attention to 

 the Dickson roses. We understand 

 new building is deferred for the pres- 

 ent as Alex. B. Scott the head of the 

 firm has to start shortly on a trip to 

 Europe. 



The wicked types have been at it 

 twice again. First they have put an 

 M for an N in Norristown in our 

 news note about Alexander Cumming 

 last week. Mr. Cumming's correct ad- 

 dress is — Red Rose Nurseries. Center 

 Square P. 0., Montg. Co., Pa. The 

 property he has secured is a part of 

 the estate of the late Wm. F. 

 Singerly, proprietor of the "Phila. 

 Record." The second instance was 

 in crediting the verses "Counting the 

 Cost," printed in our last issue, to 

 T. A. Daly instead of S. W. Gillillan. 

 Both gentlemen are talented poets. 

 Our sincere apologies to the bard of 

 Wingohocking and the bard of Balti- 

 more.
