 Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page 74Q) 



The market has 

 CINCINNATI tightened consider- 

 ably in some lines. 

 The demand from out-of-town is very 

 strong. Bright, warm weather for the 

 last week has brought on blooms very 

 fast and probably enabled us to have 

 an adequate supply for Thanksgiving. 

 Quite a few of the flowers, however, 

 were soft from the effects of the sun's 

 rays. Chrysanthemum receipts in- 

 clude some very fine White and Yellow 

 Chadwick and Mrs. Jerome Jones. 

 Pompon receipts are also large. Rose 

 cuts are growing in size. The demand 

 for them, while good, was during the 

 larger part of last week hardly strong 

 enough to take up all. The American 

 Beauty cut is small and receipts clean 

 up quickly. Carnations are coming in 

 better both in respect to numbers and 

 quality. Other stock in usual variety. 



The situation is some- 

 NEW YORK what improved in this 



market, prices being 

 maintained fairly well on some items 

 and the overwhelming surplus on oth- 

 ers being now well under control. The 

 Thanksgiving hustle will cut off the 

 overstock of chrysanthemums which 

 has been an obstruction in the way of 

 the movement for better prices on 

 staple goods. Quality on roses is Im- 

 proving, despite the abnormally high

temperatures which have a debilitating 

 effect on most varieties. Carnations 

 are Increasing in number but not ad- 

 vancing much in quality. The ap- 

 proved rose novelties will have a clear 

 field this year and will bring sensa- 

 tional prices. 



The warm weath- 

 PHILADELPHIA er has been 



against the 

 keeping quality and finish of stock and 

 while there has not been a great deal 

 of vim and life to the market still on 

 the whole it has been fairly satisfac- 

 tory. There has been some surplus, of 

 course, especially In chrysanthemums 

 and white roses. The former are now 

 past the meridian but there are still 

 plenty of good flowers around and will 

 be for some time. The best now are 

 Bonnaffon, Chadwick and Eaton — both 



yellow and white In each. A few 

 .leanne Nonin have just made their ap- 

 pearance. Prices on American Beauty 

 and some other roses have hardened 

 considerably and the quality has also 

 improved. There are some very fine 

 Russells to be seen now — length of 

 stem especially, showing better than 

 on the first cuttings. Jonkheer very 

 scarce and hardly enough for the lo- 

 cal trade. Carnations getting better 

 all the time. These became a little 

 more plentiful last week and prices 

 held even. Early bookings for Thanks- 

 giving week show the usual advance of 

 about 25 per cent. Orchids are 

 "scarcenlng" up a bit and bringing 

 better prices. Gardenias and violets 

 are at their best and very popular.
