Flower Market Reports 



{Continued I rom pa^e ^4j) 



Quantities of goods 

 PITTSBURGH are selling at prices 



which are discour- 

 aging to growers — street prices, as a 

 matter of fact; but, in the words of an 

 optimistic wholesale man, "it beats 

 losing them." Fortunately, the vari- 

 ous spring openings of (department 

 stores have called for quantities of 

 potted plants and cut blooms, as this 

 phase of decoration becomes more gen- 

 eral and more elaborate each succes- 

 sive season. 



Stock has been very 

 ROCHESTER plentiful for the past 

 week with not much 

 of a demand. Any stranger who hap- 

 pened to be on the street Saturday 

 would have thought it was Flower Day. 

 Every florist and street vender, even 

 to the peddler, had flowers at a bar- 

 gain price. Carnations, tulips, violets, 

 daffodils and roses were the ones that 

 were sold cheapest. There is quite a 

 supply of azaleas, primulas, lilacs, gen- 

 istas, heather, acacias and Ijulb plants, 

 whicli find a ready market.. About the 

 only thing that is scarce is Asparagus 

 plumosus here. It is hard to substi- 

 tute but in some cases we can use 

 smilax which is very plentiful. 



The market during the 

 ST. LOUIS past week has been 



lively with stock of all 

 kinds lilentiful. White carnations are 

 somewhat scarce, owing probably to 

 the expected demand at end of week 

 for dyeing purposes. Bulbous stock is 

 more plentiful. Greens are in demand 

 and selling well. 



Cloudy weather 

 WASHINGTON has had a marked 



ill effect upon 

 stock of all kinds, sweet peas and gar- 

 denias being the worst sufferers. The 

 former are only bringing about one- 

 third their former prices. Orchids con- 

 tinue scarce but there is only a 

 limited demand. American Beauty 

 roses are moving fairly well. The 

 heavy supply of bulbous stock is hurt- 

 ing the sale of all other flowers. Some 

 very excellent plants are being offered.
