Flower Market Reports NEW YORK QUOTA flOWS PER 100. To Dealers Only 



{Continued ^roin page iss) 



roses are hard to get and prices re- 

 main away up. Carnations are quite 

 plentiful and this is the first week 

 since the first of the year that any 

 carnations were left over after morn- 

 ing sales. Same may be said of vio- 

 lets, of which thousands were dumped 

 as low as $1.00 per 1000. Bulb stock, 

 too, could be bought cheap any day 

 during the week. Good lilies sell well 

 at $1.5 per 100. Sweet peas have also 

 been a glut and hard to dispose of. 

 Wild smilax has sold well. We all 

 expect a good business for St. Val- 

 entine's Day and plenty of stock on 

 hand for orders placed early. 



Last week's report on 

 NEW YORK this market might 

 well suffice for the 

 prei^ent. No change of any sort worth 

 noting has taken place. The very 

 stormy weather has not helped to im- 

 prove what was a very light demand, 

 considering the season, nor to in- 

 crease the very limited supply of 

 roses. gardenias and cattleyas. 

 Neither does it impiove the quality of 

 the bulb stock which is coming along 

 as rapidly as wanted, if not moie so. 

 Violets are happy, of course, under 

 the circumstances, but their owners 

 find little comfort as the weather con- 

 ditions which favor their growth do 

 not favor their sale. Carnations are 

 in fair supply and good quality, 

 whites having the best of it for the 

 present. St. Valentine's Day should 

 count for something next week, if 

 pleasant skies attend it. 



Stock continues 

 PHILADELPHIA scarce here. Usu- 

 ally at this sea- 

 son the lengthening days should bring 

 in supplies in increasing quantities; 

 but this year is an exception. Not in 

 the memory of the oldest trader have 

 we had such a dark fifty days in mid- 

 winter. A few bright days now would 

 bring things along with a rush. Ac- 

 cording to the U. S. Weather Bureau 

 at Philadelphia we have had only one 

 clear day since New Year and that was 

 on Feb. oth. There is a fairly good 

 line of general trade, but the volume 

 is |)robabh below that of previous 

 years, else we would have seen ere 

 now an unprecedented scramble for 

 stock, considering the weather condi- 

 tions. It is said that public entertain- 

 ments, such as the mid-winter ball 

 and so forth, have been as numerous 

 as usual, but that the number of strict- 

 ly private affairs have been fewer. 

 American Beauty roses are a trifle 

 more plentiful and of better quality. 



These do not seem to be such good 

 sellers, however, and prices have eased 

 up in spite of the stringency and other 

 factors noted above. Riehmouds are 

 not selling quite so well either, for 

 some reason not easily defined. Kil- 

 larneys are the favorites at present in 

 l)inks and are of extra good quality, 

 we seldom see them so well' colored as 

 they are now. The white rose market 

 feels the shortage about as much as 

 anything. While the supplies have in- 

 creased the demand has more than 

 kept pace. Good judges looked for 

 quite a tumble in cai nations about the 

 end of the week, but these have held 

 their own and are at this writing as 

 high and firm as at last report. Or- 

 chids, gardenias, lily of the valley, 

 lilac and violets all continue in good 

 demand with prices unchanged. A 

 spurt is expected on the latter for St. 

 Valentine's day. For the same occa- 

 sion there will doubtless be a good de- 

 mand for spring flowers, such as daftg- 

 dils, sweet peas, freesias, tulips. Roman 

 hyacinths and other moderate-priced 

 subjects. These like most everything 

 else are cleaning up at better figures 

 than usual.
