Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page itffl) 



Business has been 

 ROCHESTER moderately good 

 with supply about 

 normal, with the exception of roses 

 which are in heavy cut. There are 

 quantities of out-door flowers and con- 

 sequently bulbous stock is not selling 

 so fast. Carnations are of good 

 quality and the supply is cleaned up 

 daily. Callas and lilies are both 

 plentiful. Sweet peas and calendulas 

 are abundant and slow. Spanish iris 

 are in good demand. Lily of the val- 

 ley sells well. Funeral work has been 

 somewhat heavy during the past week 

 and a few small but good weddings 

 have helped to clean up stock. 



Stock is increasing in 

 ST. LOUIS supply but carnations 

 are still held at high 

 prices on account of Mother's Day. 

 which is a mistake. Sweet peas are 

 arriving in large quantities, but this 

 supply will not be of long duration if 

 warm weather continues. Roses open 

 up rapidly. 



All flowers with 

 WASHINGTON the exception of 

 sweet peas sold up 

 well last week. Business has con- 

 tinued_good and out of town retailers 

 have been calling on local growers 

 and wholesalers for large quantities of 

 flowers. Lilies are in good supply 

 but do not move well. Roses and car- 

 nations are good and orders for the 

 latter for Mothers' Day are being 

 placed at $10 and $12. A few days of 

 warm weather will swamp the market 

 with sweet peas. Good lilac blooms 

 are offered. Mignonette is over plenti- 

 ful.
