Flower Market Reports 



(Cofitiniifti/rom page f&y) 



Very little is happen- 

 NEW YORK ing in either whole- 

 sale or retail circles 

 that is worth recording, at the present 

 time. In this respect the situation is 

 identical with that at the same date In 

 former years, so no comment is called 

 for and no deductions are worth the 

 thinkng out. There are lots of a-sters 

 and gladioli and they bring varying 

 prices according to fineness of quality 

 and the momentary emergency, Roses, 

 lilies, lily of the valley and all the rest 

 are also subject to the exigencies of 

 immediate needs and this is all that 

 makes existence bearable for the 

 wholesaler as there is no steady cur- 

 rent of demand for anything and con- 

 sequently no bed-rock level on which 

 values may be based. Quality is of 

 the usual summer standard — excellent 

 on a few things specially adapted to the 

 climatic conditons and far below zero 

 on the balance. Little change is like- 

 ly until September and improvement 

 may be still longer deferred. 



The market is about as

ends with that — so the commission 

 men report that only the lighter col- 

 ored flowers move. Gladioli and Beau- 

 ties are about the only flowers that 

 come in which class with good qual- 

 ity, and these move well at any 

 time. Carnations are poor in quality 

 and not many are coming in. There 

 are a good many asters coming in but 

 only the best sell well. Hydrangeas 

 are used up in funeral work; outside 

 of this they have no demand. Smilax 

 is very scarce; other greens in plenty 

 and demand good.
