Flower Market Reports 



t.Coniinutd /roMi p^ige 6s) 



marked improvement in strain and 

 ■color over previous years. There is 

 little change in the greens market ex- 

 cept that long adiantum is scarcer and 

 that sphagnum has advanced ten per 

 •cent. Among the plant specialties we 

 notice some very fancy Primula mala- 

 coides — an improved strain vffry well 

 grown. These are about a foot high 

 and well branched and make a lovely 

 little basket plant tliat can be retailed 

 lor about fifty cents. One firm cleared 

 seven hundred of them in one day and 

 was busy booking orders the following 

 morning. 



Business has 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. been only fair 



this week. 

 With severe weather and sunless days 

 flowers have not been any too plenti- 

 ful, although they have met the needs 

 of all the local florists. Potted plants 

 are selling well. Bulbous stock is in 

 demand and amongst it is seen some 

 splendid La Innocence hyacinths. 

 Violets are slow, also yellow daises. 

 Roses are shortening up a little. 

 Lilies are plentiful, but demand is 

 light. The supply of carnations is 

 somewhat heavier, but insuflicient for 

 the demand and good stock brings good 

 money." Freesia, narcissus and Roman 

 hyacinths sell nicely. Cypripediums 

 and cattleyas are of excellent quality 

 l)ut do not move very rapidly. As- 

 paragus is very scarce. 



Below-zero weather 

 ST. LOUIS with heavy snow 

 storms have influenced 

 the market in all branches. Growers, 

 wholesalers and retailers have suf- 

 fered jointly. Shipping, both inbound 

 and outbound, was greatly hampered 

 and retail transient trade was almost 

 knocked out. Carnations and roses 

 held their own v,nth a downward tend- 

 ency in price.
