Flower Market Reports, 



(_Co>ttinued from page 787* 



As predicted in our 

 PHILADELPHIA last weeli's report, 

 T h a n Is s g iving 

 week business was up to the average 

 and a little over. Two elements 

 helped to this gratifying final. First 

 the usual Cornell-Pennsylvania foot- 

 ball game; second, the Army-Navy 

 football game, with all their attendant 

 social functions — the one on Thursday, 

 the other on Saturday. Pew outsiders 

 can realize what two such events mean 

 to the social life of a big metropolis 

 like Philadelphia. When wealth and 

 fashion get stirred up to an exciting 

 point, then comes the demand for the 

 incarnation of the beautiful senti- 

 ments that can only be expressed by 

 flowers. No other outlet is possible 

 to fittingly incense power and pride, 

 and so it was a great inning for the 

 flower business here. We did not have 

 the Army-Navy game last year and 

 the loss was keenly felt on that oc- 

 casion. We had it — and Cornell also — 

 this year, and we are happy. Of 

 course, back of all this was the usual 

 Thanksgiving flower business incident 

 to the life of any American commun- 

 ity. All these things — taken together 

 — made the market one of the most 

 satisfying we can remember in many 

 years. There were no exorbitant 

 prices on any line, although figures 

 kept high and firm, and that is one 

 of the best features of a splendid mar- 

 ket, as it leaves no grouch behind in 

 the minds' of our customers. There 

 was a splendid supply of fine stock, 

 a splendid demand for same, and 

 prices corresponded. What more could 

 the most optimistic or pessimistic de- 

 sire. We were going to speak of 

 some things being scarce, but we sud- 

 denly remember that Arthur Niessen 

 says there is no such thing as scarcity. 

 Plenty of everything — only too much 

 demand And, say we, per contra 

 there can be no such thing as glut. 

 There is no glut — only lack of demand. 

 It is now Arthur's turn to elucidate 

 further the fine points of his proposi- 

 tion. 



The flower season 

 WASHINGTON is regularly on In 

 Washington. All 

 prices advanced on Thanksgiving Day 

 and along some lines the supply fell 

 far short of the demand. Especially 

 was this true of violets, which were 

 in request for the Army and Navy 

 football game. The consignments 

 were not up to the orders and some 

 of them were fully twelve hours late, 

 thanks to the express facilities (?). 

 There was also a marked scarcity In 

 lily of the valley and it easily com- 

 manded the top market figure. Chrys- 

 anthemums led in general favor, es- 

 pecially white and yellow ones. Good 

 Beauties moved easily at $5.00 per 

 dozen, wholesale. There was also a 

 good demand for Bride, Killarney, 

 Richmond and My Maryland — these 

 chiefly for dinner parties. Already 

 (here is a touch of Christmas evident; 

 (he street fakirs are hawking red ber- 

 ries of any and every available kind, 

 as well as laurel, pine and running 

 cedar.
