Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page 511) 



of these blooms came in the latter 

 part of last week from Sarcoxie, Mo., 

 and in prime condition. Vegetation 

 all around is two weeks in advance 

 of any prior season noted. Owing to 

 this iz,ct, we cannot depend on the 

 outside blooms usually expected for 

 Decoration Day, all being now in the 

 height of their season. Mothers' Day 

 was a superb success from the busi- 

 ness standpoint at least. There seem- 

 ed to be just about enough flowers, 

 with the exception of carnations, which 

 sold at the wholesale price of $10 per 

 100. Other blooms were sold at low 

 figures and the cheaper flowers were 

 most in demand. Roses are now so 

 plentiful that it is a satisfaction to 

 get rid of them in quantity lots at 

 "any old price." 



Lilacs are in 

 ROCHESTER, N Y. full blossom. 

 The supply of 

 sweet peas is heavy and quality good 

 considering conditions. Carnations 

 and lilies are very plentiful with a 

 steady demand. Darwin tulips are 

 very plentiful. Pansies are selling 

 fairly well. Roses are in abundance 

 but the demand is none too brisk and 

 lower prices prevail. Smilax and oth- 

 er greens are in good demand but the 

 supply is somewhat limited. 



Stock is very plentiful, 

 ST. LOUIS carnations way down, 

 2 cents being high 

 mark for good quality. The same 

 with roses, which are sold very cheap. 

 Cape jessamines are arriving in big 

 supply from South. Peonies are also 

 coming good. 



Peonies dominated 

 WASHINGTON the market last 

 week. Carnations 

 selling at $10 per hundred for Moth- 

 er's Day. could be had at from $3 down 

 to $7.50 per thousand for short- 

 stemmed stock. Roses are coming in 

 mildewed because of the too early 

 shutting down of the heating plants. 

 Lily of the valley is very scarce and 

 orders go unfilled. Baby gladioli are 

 here in quantities and are selling well. 

 Orchids are good and in fine demand. 

 Candytuft moves and pond lilies, just 

 arrived, sell on sight. American 

 Beauty roses are a bit off now. Peo- 

 nies have killed the sale of Easter lil- 

 ies. Business continues fine and the 

 month of May bids fair to eclipse the 

 same month in any preceding year.
