Flower Market Reports 



[Cojittnueii from page 21J 



Plants were fairly well cleaned out 

 and the growers are already getting 

 their Easter stock in shape tor the 

 next holiday. 



It has been said 



NEW YORK "Blessed is he who 

 expects little, for he 

 will not be disappointed." It is possi- 

 ble, perhaps, to account, on some such 

 proposition, for the absence of any 

 complaint among New York dealers 

 concerning the New Year's business. 

 This holiday, so dear to the New 

 Yorker, has long ceased to hold any 

 great prominence as a flower festival 

 and this year especially no particular 

 preparations for a big demand were 

 made. As it turned out, crops were 

 generally very light and clean sales 

 at normal values were the result. In 

 fact, there was a demand in excess of 

 the supply on some lines and a buoy- 

 ant tone characterized the market tor 

 Saturday, Sunday and Monday. On 

 Tuesday, however, there was a de- 

 cided break in values — some prices 

 being cut to about half as compared 

 with those of last week— this being 

 the first step in discounting in advance 

 the two weeks period of dullness which 

 is always characteristic of early Jan- 

 uary. Roses have already begun to 

 come in more freely — all varieties in 

 excellent quality. Cattleya Trianae is 

 plentiful and violets are undoubtedly 

 in for a heavy decline in value before 

 long. Stevia has been one of the best 

 sellers during the last two weeks. 

 Gardenias are excellent and have held 

 their own nicely. Paper white nar- 

 cissi have been in over-supply. Ro- 

 man hyacinths are poor generally but 

 lily of the valley is fine. Gardenias

have enjoyed a splendid run. Carna- 

 tions are beginning to reassert them- 

 selves now that the market price has 

 come down to a level more nearly in 

 line with the retail buyers' estimate 

 of their value. 



New Years week 

 PHILADELPHIA was a good deal 



of a disappoint- 

 ment all around in the cut flower busi- 

 ness of the Philadelphia market. The 

 volume of business was fair but the 

 prices realized were far from reaching 

 the average of last year. The usual 

 leader (American Beauty) did not 

 seem to be in much greater supply 

 than usual but market values for same 

 were away behind. And that condition 

 was the index for all roses. Every 

 variety suffered in like proportion. 

 None of the roses brought anything 

 like the prices they should have 

 brought. Carnations held their own 

 better but it cannot be said that there 

 is any scarcity of these now — like 

 what there has been all through the 

 season, up to the present. White car- 

 nations seem to be the most plentiful. 

 Colored carnations of equal grade with 

 the whites, have been bringing twenty- 

 five per cent. more. Cattleyas took a 

 big drop, consequent not so much on 

 a decreased demand but from an influx 

 of flowers. Extra fine gardenias are 

 coming in most liberally and, all 

 things considered, the prices are hold- 

 ing up well for these. The clean-up Is 

 good also, so that when returns are 

 figured out on this crop it is likely to 

 compare very favorably with anything 

 on the list. The lily of the valley 

 market has improved quite consider- 

 ably since Christmas and is now in 

 good healthy condition. Violets are 

 good and are selling up clean but in 

 sympathy with outside conditions 

 prices have dropped a little. Among 

 the derelicts at present are long roses 

 — that is fancy and special grade 

 Beauty, poinsettias, Roman hyacinths, 

 paper whites and white carnations. 



Stevia is selling well and the greens 

 market is all right.
