Flower Market Reports 



{Continued ^rom f-age OSj) 



lias been so continually before the buy- 

 ers for many months that they are not 

 enthusiastic over it. Good lily of the 

 valley is scarce: lilies far too plenty- 

 tul; violets the same and sweet peas 

 lirobably hold their own the best of all 

 the flowers since the holidays. 



The feature of the 



CINCINNATI market the past week 

 was the good demand 

 for sweet peas, with a very light sup- 

 ply. Lily of the valley had the next 

 call and as usual the supply is light 

 when the demand is heaviest. Beauties 

 which were on the short side of the 

 market are now coming in more free- 

 ly, the price low considering the 

 quality. Other roses are in heavy 

 crop and moving slowly, Killarney, 

 White I\jllarney and My Maryland 

 cleaning up to better advantage than 

 others. While the cut of carnations is 

 heavy the demand is keeping in step 

 so that the average price is good for 

 the season. There is an overabund- 

 ance of lilies and prices are sacrificed 

 10 make sales. The end of the glut on 

 these is very near and prices soon will 

 resume their normal level. There is 

 a goodly amount of antirrhinum 

 offered. Out-door lilac is now to be 

 had. Stocks both single and double, 

 daisies and out-door daffodils move 

 freely. Smilax is on the short side; 

 other green goods plentiful. 



Very little to say about 



DETROIT business. Everybody is 

 more or less hustling 

 with an overabundance of stock to 

 select from. Between special sales in 

 some of the stores and great activity 

 among fakirs this stock is kept down 

 fairly well. Lilies are as much in ex- 

 cess of demand as ever and smilax is 

 very scarce. 



There is nothing in 



NEW YORK the present or near 

 future that holds any 

 hope of improved conditions in the 

 cut flower line. The supply of roses, 

 carnations, bulbous stock, gardenias 

 and sweet peas is far in excess of the 

 demand, which seems to be growing 

 less day by day. If anything has the 

 ]>reference at times it is American 

 Beauties of the best quality; these do 

 have an occasional spurt and have the 

 distinction of advancing once in a 

 while even though the.v decline the 

 day after. The disposal of stock in 

 general is a problem and clean-ups 

 are the exception. It has been possi- 

 ble to move carnations up to this 

 week and now they are accumulating 

 for lack of buyers. Products from 

 out-doors include lilac, tulips, lily of

The market was very 

 ST. LOUIS slow again all of last 



week and stock of all 

 kinds is as plenty as the week previ- 

 ous and with a promiEe to so continue 

 all of this week. Prices have taken a 

 big drop on all stock in big lots. The 

 heavy downpour of rain which contin- 

 ued from Thursday to Monday caused 

 a depression on the florists all over 

 the city and any kind of transient 

 trade was out of the question. Some 

 of the West End florists say that 

 they have a number of weddings for 

 this month and that the plant trade 

 has opened up in splendid shape and 

 all plants are selling well.
