Flower Market Reports 



sundry. This is as it should be and 

 proves the value ot the trade press in 

 keeping a happy equilibrium between 

 the contending interests — each in its 

 turn so blinded that they cannot see 

 the inter-relation of alj and each. 

 There is no branch of the florist trade 

 suffering any ills worthy of mention 

 at the present time. Compared with 

 previous years the past week showed 

 a good volume of business. If prices 

 were low in some lines the clean up 

 made amends in many ways, and the 

 general howl is quite uncalled for. 

 Vale. 



The market last week 

 ST. LOUIS was rather different 



from that reported for 

 the previous week. Everything was 

 scarce. Kirkwood, where most of our 

 home-grown stock comes from, sent 

 in very little, and of course, the out- 

 side shipments sold up clean. It is not 

 that business was so good but the 

 scramble for stock made it look that 

 all were busy. Prices in the meantime 

 went up a few cents. Carnations were 

 up to $4 for fancy and $2 to .$3 for 

 common. Roses did not go up much 

 as they were more plentiful. Sweet 

 peas 50 to 75 cents per 100. Other 

 flowers such as lilies, lily of the valley 

 and Cape jasmines remained at the 

 old price. Peonies bring $5 for the 

 best. Lilac is about over but a lot 

 of other outdoor stock is now coming 

 and sells well. 



We learn that plans are about per- 

 fected for the establishment of a 

 wholesale flower market in Provi- 

 dence, R. I.
