Flower Market Reports. 



(Continued frotn f>age 7SQ-) 



The market opened 



CINCINNATI up last Monday with 

 a brisk demand. 

 From Tuesday to Thursday, inclusive, 

 there was a decided falling off in 

 trade, while on Friday and Saturday 

 there was a reawakening in the de- 

 mand, the market closing very strong. 

 Mothers' day can be given most of the 

 credit for the best week's end business 

 since Easter. The demand from out- 

 of-town for white carnations was ex- 

 ceptionally heavy and price ruled very 

 firm. A little more than a sufficiency 

 of roses is apparent. Many have to 

 be moved in job lots. The supply of 

 long Beauties is far in excess of the 

 demand, while the short ones are rela- 

 tively scarce. Callas are next to im- 

 movable, but lilies meet with a fair 

 request. Outdoor lily of the valley 

 has affected the sale of indoor stock. 

 Local grown peonies have made 

 their appearance and if the present 

 mid-summer weather continues most 

 of the earlier varieties will have fin- 

 ished blooming by Decoration Day. 

 A brisk business 



PHILADELPHIA was done the lat- 

 ter part of last 

 week in flowers suitable for boutou- 

 nieres, such as gardenias, sweet peas, 

 carnations, etc. The early part of the 

 weelf was nothing extra. Red carnations 

 sold poorly and roses of all kinds 

 were rather sluggish. There was no 

 extra demand for orchids, callas or lilies. 

 The demand seemed to be all for the 

 lower-priced classes of flowers except 

 in one or two instances. For exam- 

 ple, while good long-stemmed sweet 

 peas sold well there was nothing do- 

 ing in shorts of this popular flower — 

 and the supply of shorts preponder- 

 ated. Outdoor flowers such as lilac, 

 tulips, irises, yellow alyssum, etc., sold 

 fairly well, but at very low prices. 

 The prospects for peonies for Memo- 

 rial Day have improved. 



The market was again 



ST. LOUIS glutted up with extra 

 fine stock and every- 

 thing seasonable could be had by the 

 thousands. Business has not been so 

 good, a great many of the retailers 

 complaining of dull trade. On Satur- 

 day and Sunday quite a little business 

 was done for Mother's day. It looks 

 as though this week is going to see 

 another big glut. 



A cut rate war is be- 



SYRACUSE ing carried on here by 

 some of the florists. 

 Roses and carnations are advertised 

 at 35 cents per dozen; how long it will 

 continue remains to he seen — there 

 can't be much money in it at those 

 prices. The school children this year 

 are asked to give plants in place of 

 cut flowers for Memorial Day. This

is a new departure, and will doubtless 

 be appreciated by many who have out- 

 side flowers, as too often their gar- 

 dens have been raided the night be- 

 fore. Beds of tulips and lilac bushes 

 have suffered grievously. Mothers' 

 day was not observed here by the 

 wearing of carnations. Some minis- 

 ters preached on "Mother" and that 

 was about all it amounted to.
