Flower Market Reports NEW YORK QUOTATIONS PER 100. To Dealers Only 



(Continued ^rom page S45) 



Notwithstanding the 

 NEW YORK very unfavorable 



weather of the past 

 week crops of all kinds have been in- 

 creasing in volume and. with the pre- 

 vailing inactivity in the retail trade 

 the effect has been disastrous as to 

 market values, accumulations being 

 the rule in the wholesale district. 

 Roses are plentiful and of good average 

 quality. Carnations vary from very 

 good to very poor. The grades of lilies 

 also show a wide variance as to qual- 

 ity, many lots being of the most miser- 

 alDle character. Callas are very abun- 

 dant. There are heaps of violets, 

 which find their best outlet through 

 the street dealers, although the quality 

 is superb as a rule. All bulbous ma- 

 terial is overstocked. Daffodils seem 

 to be more popular than in former 

 years and the street men dispose of 

 great quantities of them for corsage 

 wear, etc. Wallflowers, corn flowers, 

 pansies and similar lesser flowers are 

 seen in most florists' offerings and 

 sweet peas are in quantity on all sides. 



More satisfactory 

 PHILADELPHIA trading was the 



rule last week. 

 Stocks cleaned up better, and while 

 there was no decided advance in 

 prices the tone of the market was dis- 

 tinctly firmer. The Friday and Sat- 

 urday sales — although very low as to 

 price — were extensive in quantity and 

 brought the general average for the 

 week up to respectable figures. There 

 was no scarcity of anything — unless 

 perhaps white carnations. There was 

 some extra demand for these and, in 

 addition, the crop seemed to be a lit- 

 tle off. Of course, American Beauty 

 roses are still scarce but the demand 

 for them is kept within limits — as 

 might be expected when specials are 

 Soing at $75 in March. The short 

 Beauties at $15 to $25 are nothing ex- 

 tra, and there are no intermediate 

 qualities. Carnations, outside of 

 white, were more plentiful and in large 

 lots shrewd buyers could get quite a 

 discount from quoted schedules. We 

 have now a number of wideawake re- 

 tailers who are keen for a special drive 

 when circumstances warrant in any 

 item. The street men do not quite 

 have it all their own way in the job- 

 lot line as they used to. Southern daf- 

 fodils came in more freely and may be 

 looked for in larger quantities from 

 now on. Sweet peas are still pretty 

 good stock, although there are more 

 shorts coming in than desirable. The

Reports from the dif- 

 ST. LOUIS ferent wholesale houses 



say that Lent so tar 

 has not interfered much with the local 

 trade, as the retail florists are buying 

 quite heavy and last week their busi- 

 ness was good. Stock of all kind has 

 been over-plentiful and from the looks 

 of the market it will continue so right 

 up to Easter. Prices are low on good 

 quality of stock. Extra good quality 

 in roses bring not over $S per 100; 

 Beauties, long fancy, $6 per dozen; 

 Carnations, $1 to $3, and lilies from $S 

 to $10 per 100. Bulb stuff is not over- 

 plentiful. Smilax, asparagus and all 

 other green goods sell well.
