Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page H^) 



have by no means been coming in as 

 they should. Exceptionally fine home- 

 grown snapdragon is now coming In. 

 Sweet peas are still holding their own. 

 The Retail Florists' Association of the 

 Pittsburgh District Is about to put on 

 a big Mothers' Day advertising cam- 

 paign, which, it is expected will bring 

 the best of returns, that is. s^y'ng 

 there are enough flowers to supply 

 the demand which now is looked for. 



Business has 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. been very good 



for the past 

 week. There are still a lot of tulips, 

 daffodils and narcissi, but the quality 

 is poor. There are also great quantities 

 of callas and Harrisii lilies. Roses, 



too, are very plentiful and prices have 

 been much lower. Sweet peas are 

 very fine. Carnations are showing the 

 effects of spring weather, being small- 

 er and poorer. Some very good cut 

 pansies are on the market. There are 

 very few flowering plants to be had. 

 although the hydrangea is a good sell- 

 er. Cornflowers sell well. The supply 

 of hardy ferns and asparagus is very 

 poor. 



Market values, owing to 

 ST. LOUIS inclement weather, have 



stiffened greatly. The 

 outlook, with present weather condi- 

 tions -ind limited coal supply, seems 

 to indicate scarcity and increasing 

 prices. Lilac is about done and of 

 other outdoor flowers the supply will 

 not be heavy. Mothers' Day will suf- 

 fer as prices quite out of the ordinary 

 are asked by the wholesalers, and no 

 one is to be blamed but those who seek 

 to control the market.

YOUR NEXT DUTY. 



Have you bought your Liberty 

 Bond? Can you imagine the dissatis- 

 faction that would come over you if 

 you were not permitted to participate 

 in their purchase? Well, that's the 

 way some of the florists are going to 

 feel when OUR campaign is on in full 

 swing. 



Are you one of the type who want 

 to let the others do what is now your 

 privilege and should be your pleas- 

 ure? 



Will you do your duty and be a 

 party to the best campaign the florists 

 have ever had? 



Just send your check to John 

 Young, 1170 Broadway, New York, and 

 get the same feeling as you did when 

 you bought the Liberty Bond. The 

 first duty to your country, and the 

 next to the Publicity Campaign.
