 to a rather low grade period in the 

 usual staples. 



As a whole, local 

 PITTSBURGH florists are not talk- 

 ing about prices, 

 but. instead, are gratefully taking 

 what they can get. Stock is not mov- 

 ing rapidly, although considering the 

 season, business may be considered 

 fair. Several handsome June wed- 

 dings have kept the "society" florists 

 busy, but otherwise trade has been 

 slow. Stock is not at its best, still 

 showing the effect of the sudden and 

 extreme heat of May. 



Graduation and com- 

 ROCH ESTER mencement exercis- 

 es this week here 

 have called for fewer and less ex- 

 pensive flowers this year than usual. 

 June weddings do not include any- 

 thing out of the ordinary in the way 

 of decorations. Outdoor stock pre- 

 vails. Large quantities of peonies are 

 seen everywhere and consequently 

 the general public are not buying so 

 readily from the stores. Roses are 

 very plentiful and are sold at lower 

 figures. Carnations are plentiful and 

 are somewhat a drag on the market. 

 Sweet peas are both short stemmed 

 and soft. Larkspur and candytuft, 

 pink and white daisies and June roses 

 are seen in most of the stores. Bed- 

 ding stock sells readily. 



Flowers are plentiful. 

 ST. LOUIS outdoor stock influenc- 

 ing greatly the regular 

 market. Roses and carnations both 

 show the effects of warm weather. Out- 

 door sweet peas now coming in are 

 selling fairly well but prices are low.
