Flower Market Reports 



(Continufd from page Sjj J 



ers of all varieties with the one excep- 

 tion of violets, and to cause the grow- 

 ers to coinplain at prevailing prices. 

 The natural result was that consider- 

 able stock was turned over to the 

 street vendors for that was the only 

 outlet, with a limited demand from 

 other sources. For the past few weeks 

 the shipping to the southern cities has 

 been very satisfactory and this has 

 been of such volume as to prove quite 

 a factor in this market. Prices are 

 still below what would be termed nor- 

 mal for this time of the year but dur- 

 ing the past week they have varied 

 considerably. Taking for instance 

 carnations, the prevailing wholesale 

 price averaged about $2 per hundred 

 yet the vendors were offering them on 

 the streets at retail at 25 cents per 

 dozen. Of course, there was a con- 

 siderable difference in qualities but the 

 general public is not sufficiently edu- 

 cated to be able to tell whether or not 



they are perfectly fresh, or to judge 

 the stock on the streets with that 

 at advanced prices shown in the 

 stores. There has been a slightly 

 better demand for American Deauties. 

 Other roses are plentiful with little 

 change in previous quotations. A bet- 

 ter sale is reported of novelty stock, 

 this due to a number of fine decora- 

 tions had during the week. Garde- 

 nias are selling at from $1 to $2 per 

 dozen, although meeting with little de- 

 mand, and the same applies to orchids 

 offered at 40 to 60 cents each. There 

 is a plentiful supply of narcissus which 

 finds its greatest sale in the public 

 markets; sweet peas are in good sup- 

 ply and quality excellent. A continu- 

 ance of the present warm weather is 

 bound to put a severe crimp in the 

 violet market for the Christmas trade. 

 The demand is almost entirely for 

 singles which up to this time have 

 been in very limited supply. The 

 Rhinebeck variety, in the opinion of a 

 majority of local retailers, is not near- 

 ly so satisfactory as the single.
