Flower Market Reports 



(Continuird ^rom page yio) 



With the supply in car- 

 DETROIT nations and lilies some- 

 what shortened and a 

 demand equal to last year conditions 

 in general are greatly improved. Vio- 

 lets and the whole line of spring flow- 

 ers are about consumed, iris, baby 

 gladiolus and outdoor tulips taking 

 their places. Sweet peas are coming 

 in very good and are most useful for 

 corsages, etc. 



While the wholesale 

 NEW YORK markets are about 

 overwhelmed with 

 outdoor garden products and belated 

 spring weather is making amends tor 

 past lapses in the exuberance of the 

 crops, yet it is evident that the period 

 of flood tide on standard indoor stock 

 has at last been passed and more nor- 

 mal conditions will soon be in order. 

 The present week has. however, been 

 a tough one for the wholesalers, who 

 have had great difHculty in finding 

 avenues of distribution for the surplus 

 which has been poured in on them, 

 the question of price being secondary 

 to that of unloading. Now comes 

 ■"Mothers' Day" and Memorial Day is 

 not far off and many growers are al- 

 ready throwing out old stock and re- 

 planting. Better balance between sup- 

 ply and demand is in sight. 



Were you ever an 

 PHILADELPHIA impressionist 

 painter? Probably 

 not. But you know what that is: — 

 The lad that starts out and says: "I 

 will tell the exact bald truth, .iust as it 

 is, in all its nakedness!" Well, out he 

 goes and visits the markets and lis- 

 tens to the tales of woe. Everything 

 going to the demnition bow wows. No- 

 body making any money. If it isn't 

 a case of too much stuff — it's a case of 

 not enough. By the time he gets his 

 "truthful" impression from all this, he 

 is an arrant pessimist — and off he goes 

 to his studio and pictures it accord- 

 ingly. If there were nothing but these 

 impressionist correspondents around, 

 wouldn't it be a melancholy world of 

 dark and doleful reading — to peruse 

 the trade reports of our flower mar- 

 kets. But as a rule these correspon- 

 dents are not impressionist painters. 

 They listen to these terrible tales; put 

 them through the crucible of their 

 higher intelligence and by their in- 

 stinctive powers of reasoning, induc- 

 tive and deductive, their experience of 

 present and past conditions, and their 

 intimate knowledge of the natural 

 proclivity to growl with or without 

 reason they manage to paint a true
