Flower Market Reports 



{Continued from page 2H3) 



stock and enough for all demands. 

 Gardenia supply seems to have eased 

 up a little. Sweet peas are coming in 

 very strong, but notwithstanding the 

 immense quantities they seem to all 

 tind a market, the quality being top- 

 notch. Lily of the valley and violets 

 are both rather sluggish. Snapdragon 

 continue plentiful and fine and meets 

 with ready sale. Callas and lilies 

 have eased up in price on account of 

 larger supplies. Daffodils are very 

 plentiful and prices low. Very few 

 paper whites or Roman hyacinths are 

 to be seen. There are too "many tulips. 

 Greens are scarce. 



Bulb flowers of all 

 PITTSBURGH varieties are prac- 

 tically without 

 value, so plentiful have they become. 

 It seems the irony of fate that after 

 weeks of scarcity, this condition should 

 come to pass just as the Lenten sea- 

 son's dearth of decorating is ushered 

 in. Ideal late winter weather o£ late 

 with now and then a day of slow 

 steady rainfall has produced superla- 

 tively fine stock of all kinds, but for 

 which there is little demand. Freesla, 

 violets and mignonette are especially 

 slow in sales for several days past. 



Owing to the warm 

 ROCHESTER weather stock has 



been more plentiful. 

 Daffodils, tulips, paper whites and car- 

 nations have been moving very slowly. 

 Roses have been coming in fine shape. 

 There have been some very fine gar- 

 denias, cattleyas, bachelor buttons, 

 daisies, freesia, sweet peas, snap drag- 

 ons, calendulas and forget-me-not. 



After a lively week pre- 

 ST. LOUIS vious to the incoming 

 of Lent this market has 

 taken quite a tumble and with the sup- 

 ply of roses, carnations and bulb stock 

 increasing, prices have dropped con- 

 siderably. Violets are now going at 

 a very low figure. 



Business has been 

 WASHINGTON v e r y satisfactory. 



Roses are still 

 scarce but the supply of carnations 

 has increased and the market is 

 flooded with bulbous stock which is to 

 be had at moderate prices. Sweet peas 

 for the first time this Season went 

 begging despite the fact that they are 

 of fine quality. Their sale was affected 

 by the influx of other flowers. Lilies 

 are more plentiful. American Beauty 

 roses and orchids are scarce and high 

 prices prevail. Large quantities of 

 single and double violets are offered. 

 These are largely being sold by street 

 vendors. 



Editor HORTICULTURE:
