Flower Market Reports 



{Continued J rffm page 251) 



about this time ot year. Snapdragon 

 is now one of the strong features of 

 the market, both in quality and quan- 

 tity. Sweet peas continue very fine 

 and meet with ready sale. In cattleyas 

 the leader now is the lovely Trianae, 

 and this is supplemented by a limited 

 supply of Schroederae which has just 

 commenced to come in crop. The way 

 the wholesalers were hustling out or- 

 ders this Monday morning it looked 

 more like a pre-Christmas than a pre- 

 Lent date. The morning rush of late 

 years seems to be the rule. After 

 3 P. M. there is not much doing. We 

 will have 5 P. M. closing pretty soon, 

 I think, in winter as well as summer. 



Local florists are 

 WASHINGTON well pleased with 



the business done 

 lor Saint Valentine's Day which, it is 

 reported, seems to have broken all 

 records. The sale of sweet peas and 

 single violets was very good but 

 double violets seem to have hung fire. 

 Carnations are more plentiful but still 

 clean up at the close of each day. 

 Roses are scarce. American Beauty 

 brought up to $1 each, the highest 

 price since Christmas, Lily of the val- 

 ley is more plentiful, is cheaper, and in 

 better demand. There are plenty of 

 spring flowers of very good quality. 

 There is a marked scarcity of greens 

 brought about by the recent cold wave 

 which killed a large part of the stock 

 south of Washington.
