Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page S7Q) 



There is very little 

 NEW YORK thus far transpiring 



to indicate the ap- 

 proach of a flower holiday and it is 

 plain that not until the close of the 

 weeli will the cut flower demand as- 

 sume any especial proportions because 

 of Easter necessities. Conditions of 

 overstock and sluggish demand exist 

 all through the wholesale cut flower 

 district and a pessimistic feeling pre- 

 vails among those who are exclusively 

 Interested in the cut flower tiade, 

 while those who have any connection 

 with the plant industry have been, and 

 still are, worked to death. No raise in 

 market values is possible as the situa- 

 tion now stands, except that lilies nre 

 held for an advance over recent quo- 

 tations. As to the final outeomi ou 

 lilies and everything else sve shall have 

 the facts all in for next week's report. 

 Business in cut 

 PHILADELPHIA flower circles was 

 very fair here last 

 week, especially Friday and Saturday. 

 Prices did not advance very much — a 

 trifle perhaps. The cold and stormy 

 weather held stocks back somewhat 

 yet there seemed to be enough for all 

 demands. White carnations were a 

 little scarce by Friday — and it is sus- 

 pected that some of the growers are 

 holding back. Some lots that came in 

 late in the week had a pretty salty 

 look. We fondly believed this ridicu- 

 lous and suicidal practice was obso- 

 lete years ago; but it seems there is 

 a new fool born every day, and a fool 

 must act according to his folly and 

 even bitter experience fails to teach 

 some of them. American Beauty roses 

 are more plentiful. Quality good. 

 Mostly specials. White roses in ex- 

 cellent demand. Some magnificent 

 White Killarney arriving. Orchids are 

 in good shape but trading in these has 

 not been very brisk of late for some 

 reason. Violets are showing the ef- 

 fects of sunshine, and singles are al- 

 most entirely over — except limited 

 lots from cold frames. The latter and 

 the doubles are in good shape for 

 Easter trade. Lily of the valley is mov- 

 ing a little better and is fully up to 

 standard as to quality. There seem to 

 have been fewer southern daffodils 

 this year. The season did not com- 

 mence until late, and they are already 

 over; but there are still plenty of good 

 greenhouse-grown in sight. These and 

 sweet peas and lily of the valley help 

 out in medium-priced spring work, 

 and are favorite material for corsage 

 bouquets instead of violets. Yellow

daisies sell better than the white. 

 Both are first-class stock at present. 

 Greens of all kinds selling well, and 

 no over-supply. 



The wholesalers seem 

 ST. LOUIS to be well supplied 



with cut stock of all 

 kinds. The weather has been clear 

 and cool and this should make them 

 all of excellent quality. Prices too, are 

 not so high as expected. This is Holy 

 Week and all of our greenhouse men 

 are busy with plants and decorations 

 for churches. Plants are in plenty and 

 a great sale is expected on them. 

 Wholesale prices on lilies average 

 about $12.50 per 100 blooms for the best 

 quality. Carnations will run not over 

 $5 per 100 for the best and $2 to $3 for 

 good stock. Violets, 50 cents for Cal- 

 ifornias and about $1.00 per 100 for 

 Mazzuras. Sweet peas from 35 to 75 

 cents, lily of the valley ?3, tulips $3, 

 Dutch hyacinths $3 to $4, auratum and 

 candidum lilies $S. In roses the mar- 

 ket has a big cut at present and long, 

 fancy Beauties are coming in fine at $6 

 per dozen. Other roses bring from $5 

 to $10 per 100.
