Flower Market Reports 



{Ccntinu^d from page 645) 



Ing. The quality of all otluT stock 

 and the di'mand and prices are about 

 normal for the first of November. 



This market has had 

 NEW YORK to struggle against 



many adverse vicissi- 

 tudes during the past few weeks. The 

 long-extended season of out-door 

 bloom, the avalanche uf chrysanthe- 

 mums and cattlcyas 'ind other things 

 added to the uninteriU;Ked period of 

 summery weather made a rather for- 

 midable combination for the flower 

 grower and flower dealer to face, but 

 now the situation is made vastly worse 

 by the expressman's strike, which has 

 made no end of trouble and delay for 

 flower shipments. Chrysanthemums 

 are rapidly nearing their zenith. 

 They are of fine quality, evidencing 

 cultural advancement on the part oi. 

 the market growers who are turning 

 out as regular stock blooms of a size 

 and finish which not very long ago 

 were seldom seen. There are more 

 roses than can be well disposed of 

 and the disposal of the enormous 

 receipts of small grade is a tough 

 proposition for the wholesalers. Car- 

 nations have also moved into the over- 

 plenty class. Orchids are abundant 

 and Cattleya labiata is offered at very 

 low figures, but in many cases these 

 cattleyas are deficient in sizi' and sub- 

 stance and the price asked is all they 

 are worth. American Beauty roses are 

 in short supply.

the football games. Some of the most 

 important ones are now being played, 

 which is a big help to business, quan- 

 tities of flowers being worn, es- 

 pecially at the larger games. The 

 last week in October started in warm, 

 with stock plentiful and prices low. 

 With cooler weather there was a very 

 material change; stocks not quite so 

 plentiful and holding noticeably firmer 

 in prices, in some instances a slight 

 advance. Out-door material, such as 

 dahlias and cosmos, were killed down 

 with a heavy frost the last of the 

 week, which, of course, helped the 

 greenhouse flowers very much. Chrys- 

 anthemums, probably, were benefited 

 as much as any other flowers, there 

 being quite an extra demand for good 

 blooms, particularly some of the 

 brighter colors, yellows going excep- 

 tionally well. Last Saturday more 

 flowers were used at the games 

 than at any time this season. Vio- 

 lets have been going slow, both 

 doubles and singles. There doesn't 

 seem to be near the activity of former 

 years as regards violets. However, 

 with cooler weather, no doubt sales 

 on these will improve very much. 

 Gardenias have been moving well, 

 price holding firm. Carnations showed 

 quite an improvement over the be- 

 ginning of the week and the week 

 previous; quality better, too. Roses 

 generally showed an improvement in 

 quality. Beauties leading. Demand 

 seemed to be good and not an over- 

 supply. Prices, if anything, better 

 than a year ago at this time. Mary- 

 land and the two Killarneys are sell- 

 ing fairly well. Pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums have made their appearance, 

 the choice ones moving off on sight 

 and the poorer ones moving very 

 slowly, indeed. There is a lot of this 

 stock grown which is not really of 

 much use to anyone, and if the bet- 

 ter varieties were only taken up and 

 a little care used in selecting them, 

 the growers would find returns more 

 satisfactory; instead of being on the 



wrong side of the ledger they would 

 make good profits, as there is always 

 a demand for well grown pompons 

 of choice varieties. Orchids are good, 

 prices holding firmer and supply eas- 

 ing up. Greens are more or less slow, 

 although showing some improvement. 

 Easter lilies seem to be moving ex- 

 tremely slow and prices rule very 

 low. Lilacs have made their appear- 

 ance and are selling fairly well. Gen- 

 eral tone of the market is much bet- 

 ter and the outlook is encouraging. 

 November should show quite an im- 

 provement over October.
