Flower MaHcet Reports 



I.Coniittued from page 325 ) 



The past week had a 

 ST. LOUIS crowded market. Car- 

 nations were especial- 

 ly plentiful and sold at low prices. 

 Two dozen carnations for 25c. was ad- 

 vertised by the retail establishments 

 down town. Roses also were lower, 

 especially the white and pink Killar- 

 ney. Violets are over and sweet peas 

 are daily becoming more plentiful. 



The market con- 

 ROCHESTER tinues well supplied 



but the demand for 

 flowers has not been very brisk the 

 past few days. There is a surplus of 

 bulbous stock, especially in jonquils 

 which are being offered at low prices 

 to clear. Carnations are also in over- 

 supply. Sweetpeas are of excellent 

 quality and sell well. Forgetmenots, 

 bachelor buttons and other small 

 flowers sell well for basketwork and 

 corsapes. Roses are very plentiful 

 and Easter lilies are scarce. Violets 

 are flooding the markets and the only 

 means of moving them is the street 

 vendors. Calendulas sell at sight. 

 Orchids are good but have no demand. 

 Primula malacoides is being put to 

 good use as cut flowers but as a pot 

 plant individually they do not sell. 

 Mixed- in basket arrangements they 

 are, however, excellent. Good supplies 

 of asparagus plumosus and smilax 

 are on the market. 



Cymbidium Gottianum, which was 

 one of the gems in the Roehrs' orchid 

 display in New York last week, is one 

 of the longest keeping orchids, the 

 blooms lasting in perfection for fully 

 six weeks and as the plants can be 

 flowered in succession for a consider- 

 able time it is possible to have this 

 handsome flower for decorative use all 

 the time from Christmas until Easter.
