Flower Market Reports 



{Continued from page ~3~) 



heavy demand for funeral flowers the 

 past week has helped out much. The 

 peony question is an absorbing one 

 just at present and the possibility ol 

 home-grown peonies being in the mar- 

 ket for Memorial Day means thou- 

 sands of dollars to the peony grower 

 and that many less dollars for the 

 rose and carnation growers. One 

 thing seems sure, that out-of-door flow- 

 ers are likely to be gone before the 

 end of the month. 



A generally satisfactory 

 DETROIT tone prevails. The many 

 schemes used by florists 

 collectively and Individually to create 

 a sentiment for mother's day has 

 brought good results. It helped mate- 

 rially to clean up a large surplus of 

 carnations and many boxes of flowers 

 or plants were sent out. This latter 

 fact should not be overlooked by any 

 means, because it may contain the 

 seed for a day similar to Valentine's 

 day. 



The unprecedentedly 

 NEW YORK heavy crops of roses 

 still continue to har- 

 ass the wholesale market and a return 

 to normal conditions seems as far off 

 as ever. Observant judges attribute 

 the enormous and ever-increasing 

 product largely to the adoption of the 

 Killarneys as standard market sort? 

 In place of the old Bride and Brides- i 

 maid, the Killarneys being so much 

 more prolific and easily grown and 

 the blooms in the lower grades being 

 so much more uniform and salable. 

 The carnation seems to have fared 

 somewhat better than the rose this 

 season, values havin.g shown more sta- 

 bility and less sacrifice of large crops 

 having been required, but it was in- 

 evitable that, with such an overwhelm- 

 ing avalanche of roses, all sorts of 

 stock should feel the depression and 

 so it is that the wholesale grower.s 

 and dealers are unanimous in their 

 verdict that the season now approach- 

 ing its close has been disappointing 

 in its results. Just now large quan- 

 tities of lilacs, tulips, narcissi, dog- 

 woods and other outdoor flowers en- 

 cumber the market and add to the em- 

 barrassment of those whose business 

 is to iind sale for the stock. On very 

 few things can a specified figure be 

 maintained. Quality, generally, is 

 very fine. Gardenias with 12 to 18 in. 

 stems are abundant and glorious gigas 

 cattleyas maintain the prestige in the 

 orchid line, while sweet peas in al- 

 most endless Spencer varieties are 

 the best over seen here. Smilax has
