Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page yqi) 



Trade lias been and 

 NEW YORK and still is very slow 



in this market. Apart 

 from the ups and downs due to the 

 irregularities of weather, the steady 

 process of diminishing towards sum- 

 mer dullness is plainly evident. De- 

 mand drags on every item. Roses 

 average very low — partly because of 

 light demand and largely because of 

 excessive supply. Carnations are more 

 plentiful than before, although there 

 were more than enough for all ordi- 

 nary needs right along. Decoration 

 Day hopes are the cause of the pres- 

 ent quotations, and it is greatly to be 

 desired that same be realized, al- 

 though the outlook is far from en- 

 couraging. After Decoration Day a 

 little flurry is looked for in wedding 

 and other June decorative work. 



Week ending 

 PHILADELPHIA May 20th was an 

 average one as 

 regards the general volume of busi- 

 ness, and while prices were low, we 

 believe on the whole that they fully 

 averaged up to the same date last 

 year. Consequently, the grower, 

 wholesaler and dealer have nothing 

 to complain of. The general opinion 

 is that roses are not quite so plentiful 

 now as they were; and while they 

 have, like everything else, suffered 

 from the hot weather, they are pretty 

 good quality and the clean-up of 

 stocks has been good. One would 

 have expected the hot spell to bring 

 the carnations in with a rush, but the 

 influx has been really quite moderate, 

 and while many of them show a 

 weather-wilted look they stand up 

 about as well as anything. Sales of 

 these have been good and compare 

 very favorably with roses. This con- 

 dition is no doubt helped very much 

 by the church processions and other 

 recent affairs that have used up large 

 quantities of low-priced flowers — like 

 carnations. Each denomination and 

 church picks out its own special Sun- 

 day for these demonstrations, and the 

 flower trade may expect to feel the 

 good effect for some little time yet. 

 Orchids fairly plentiful, quality good, 

 demand light. Lily of the valley is in 

 normal demand, but nothing like what 

 it will be soon when the June wed- 

 dings commence. Outdoor sweet peas 

 are now commencing to arrive and 

 they are extra fine as t ) size, sub- 

 stance, stem and foliage. Blue corn- 

 flowers are in, and se ling freely.

The St. Louis market 

 ST. LOUIS has not changed much 



from the week previ- 

 ous and is still glutted up with a lot 

 of stock that is not of very good 

 quality. Carnations are good and so 

 are sweet peas, but roses are feeling 

 the effect of the hot weather and are 

 small and soft. Prices have taken a 

 big drop and the commission man 

 says it's better to sell in big lots 

 cheap than to dump them. Peonies, 

 cape jasmines, lily of the valley and 

 lilies are very plentiful and not much 

 sale for them. The reason of all this 

 is that the retail business has been 

 very dull all of last week. The hot 

 weather kept transient trade down.
