Flower Market Reports 



{Coyttitiw d from page 1 1 g) 



Were it not for the 

 DETROIT many strenuous weeks 



we have just passed 

 through last week's inactivity would 

 have given many of us the blues. Un- 

 fortunately local wholesale houses do 

 not carry enough stock and even with 

 the general small demand of last 

 week they could not fill all the orders 

 on such staple articles as carnations, 

 long-stemmed roses or short red roses. 

 The more our goods are shown the 

 more is a demand for them and it is 

 very doubtful whether larger ship- 

 ments from out of town would depre- 

 ciate the price. As the local situation 

 appears, the high mark for carnations 

 is $4 per 100 and you can not go 

 above it. If you have not enough you 

 simply lose sales and the retailer will 

 place his orders with growers and 

 wholesalers in other cities. Keeping 

 the supply down to the product of the 

 immediate neighborhood when such 

 supply has proven inadequate for sev- 

 eral seasons, as has been shown to be 

 the case locally, is injurious to grower 

 as Well as retailer. Competition is 

 and always will be the equalizing lever 

 whether it is among growers, or whole- 

 salers, or retailers. 



There is no 

 PHILADELPHIA marked change in 

 conditions here 

 since last report. Roses are still very 

 scarce — especially American Beauty, 

 and the quality of the latter is also 

 away below par. Demand continues 

 good and steady, with satisfactory 

 prices and clearances the order of the 

 day in the general market. Violets 

 are possibly an exception to this. The 

 demand for these is not at all what it 

 should be. We hear some complaint 

 about the quality of the local violet 

 crop, which is said to be in many cases 

 much poorer than last year. This does 

 not apply to all,, however, as we hear 

 of a number of growers whose product 

 is all that can be desired. Sweet peas 

 have gone back a little on account of 

 the cloudy weather and there are a 

 good many coming in that are quite 

 inferior. Gardenias, lily of the valley 

 and orchids all remain about on an 

 even keel, although there may be a 

 slightly better demand for lily of the

valley. Easter lilies are rather scarce 

 and are selling well. Callas are more 

 plentiful, but these also are selling 

 well. Roman hyacinths, paper whites 

 and daffodils are plentiful and bring- 

 ing better returns than usual. Pree- 

 sia is now to be seen in spots, but no 

 great quantity anywhere as yet. The 

 quality is fair. 



A round of the 

 WASHINGTON stores at the latter 

 part of the past 

 week showed that trade has dropped 

 considerably within the past two 

 weeks. This is unquestionably due in 

 a measure to the fact that there Is a 

 marked scarcity in the better grades of 

 flowers. Especially is this so in the 

 line of carnations and roses. There are 

 more yellow flowers on the market 

 now, some good Golden Spur narcis- 

 si, also tulips in both yellow and 

 white. Freesias are beginning to come 

 in in limited quantity.
