to miss too, and it looks as if it might 

 be a good idea for the growers to hold 

 back a little. There is everything to 

 gain and nothing to lose. Sweet peas 

 hold their own very well as they have 

 done the whole season. They keep 

 coming in very large supply but no 

 matter how many the market never 

 gets swamped. They all find a buyer 

 at fair and very steady prices. As to 

 the quality, if we were not so used to 

 its splendid superiority we would be 

 shouting loud in a major key. There 

 seems to be a reasonable supply of 

 lilies, yet the prices are rather above 

 normal. Gardenias are draggy. Daf- 

 fodils and other bulbous stock very 

 much in evidence. White lilac is still 

 plentiful although the supply will 

 dwindle from now on. Acacia pubes- 

 cens and wallflower are to be noted 

 among the new arrivals. 



Business has been 



PITTSBURGH slow this week, ex- 

 cept for a tempo- 

 rary "spurt" for Washington's Birth- 

 day. With the exception of roses of 

 all grades, there is no shortage of any 

 seasonable stock. Roses are holding 

 their own as to prices, but carnations 

 and daffodils, paper white narcissus, 

 hyacinths, tulips — in fact bulb stock 

 of all' kinds are low. After an un- 

 usually long vacation, the milder 

 weather again sees the street fakers 

 in full evidence. 



The market is well 



ROCHESTER stocked, especially 

 with bulbous mate- 

 rial. Trade has been quite uneven, 

 but for Washington's Birthday the de- 

 mand was fairly good. Roses continue 

 of excellent quality. Large cuts of 

 carnations are seen and they are con- 

 siderably cheaper. Whites and En- 

 chantress selling best. There is a 

 good call for freesia of the better qual- 

 ity. Daffodils and other narcissi sell 

 well, but the market is glutted with 

 them. Violets are selling better, but 

 prices are low. Exceptionally good 

 sweet peas reach us and sell nicely. 

 Many of the large potted hyacinths In 

 baskets are being used as funeral 

 pieces, this end of the business hold- 

 ing up remarkably well. 



Transient trade consid- 



ST. LOUIS erably improved. Roses 

 continue scarce while 

 carnations are more plentiful. Violets 

 are not quite as abundant and blooms 

 are getting smaller. Sweet peas sell 

 out quickly. Yellow daffodils are in 

 from the south and influence the home- 

 grown stock.
