Flower Market Reports 



f,CoH4inued from page 185' 



a par with that of last year, notwith- 

 standing the general adverse condi- 

 tions. There was plenty of stock 

 which moved along well at the usual 

 prices. Violets were not at all in fa- 

 vor, orchids and sweet peas being the 

 flowers of the day. 



Market condition 

 ROCHESTER has improved and 

 has been the source 

 of much encouragement to all the 

 florists. St. Valentine's day was 

 larger than previous years and stock 

 was very plentiful. Quantities of 

 bulbous stock are seen everywhere 

 and most of it is sold considerably 

 cheaper. .Roses are plentiful, except 

 Ward, Sunburst and Ophelia, of 

 which there is only a limited supply. 

 Mignonette, snapdragon and daisies 

 are seldom seen. Sweet peas are in 

 splendid condition. Carnations are in 

 large supply, and many are disposed 

 of by street venders. Potted bulbous 

 stock drags slightly. 



Good business was had 

 ST. LOUIS for St. Valentines Day, 



especially transient 

 trade. Roses are still scarce. Carna- 

 tions show increased supply, also 

 violets and sweet peas. Bulbous stock 

 a fair supply. Greens sell well.

 TATIONS. 



IMPOR- 



The perplexities attendant upon the 

 unloading and examination of the 

 seven thousand cases of plants and 

 bulbs, which came to New York on the 

 Nieuw Amsterdam, were satisfactorily 

 solved at a meeting on Thursday, Feb- 

 ruary 15, of interested importers with 

 the deputy collector on the dock at 

 Hoboken. As stated in our notes last 

 week the navy department had under- 

 taken for special reasons to make in- 

 spection of the goods, and their meth- 

 ods of examination and repacking 

 brought consternation to the import- 

 ers. The latter entered a strong plea 

 to have their various shipments sent 

 to destination and inspected there hut 

 that was proven to be impossible 

 under the law except on bonded goods 

 and the statements circulated last 

 week that this request had been 

 granted were not correct. But it is i 

 evident that the navy people found out 

 that they had undertaken something 

 more than they could properly handle 

 and were satisfied to turn over the job 

 to the custom house authorities, who 

 soon were able to adjust the operations 

 to the satisfaction of the importers 

 and since then the discharging of the 

 goods and all necessary formalities 

 have gone along merrily. Further, the 

 contents of the cases have been found 

 in much better condition tlian ex- 

 pected.

 vency court.
