Flower Market Reports 



{Continued from page 4by) 



are not very high. Recent bright warm 

 weather is bringing them along rather 

 too freely. Sweet peas were never 

 better and while they dragged a little 

 early in the week trading improved 

 later and good prices were realized. 

 Cattleyas are still on the scarce side 

 and have reached the dollar mark on 

 Easter bookings.. Lilies are rather too 

 plentiful and are going a little slow, 

 but the demand for callas is excellent. 

 The quality of the latter is unusually 

 good at present. There are lots of bul- 

 bous flowers especially tulips and daf- 

 fodils. The southern grown daffodils 

 are very redundant indeed and much 

 of these arrive in rather poor condi- 

 tion. 



All augers well for 



PITTSBURGH a highly successful 

 Easter. Everything 

 now points to the best of flowers and 

 plenty of them. Roses and hyacinths 

 especially, are of surpassingly fine 

 quality. 



This market was well 



ST. LOUIS supplied during the 

 past week but trade 

 was quiet. War excitement seems to 

 put a damper on business. Transient 

 trade fell off considerable. Easter 

 prospects are that with bright weather 

 a big supply is assured, with perhaps 

 a shortage in fancy stock of roses. 

 Bulbous material is expected to be 

 enough to go around. 



The advent of 



WASHINGTON hot weather has 

 brought a large 

 quantity of stock of all kinds 

 into the market during the week 

 before Easter and to some extent 

 prices were more or less broken. 

 There were far more good Easter lilies 

 than could be normally absorbed. 

 Roses have improved in quantity and 

 quality and are quite good. So many 

 carnations came into the market that 

 the price dropped far below normal. 

 Sweet peas are coming in in enormous 

 quantities and they can be had for 

 little or nothing. Orchids have been 

 scarce and the price has advanced to 

 $12 per dozen. The situation with re- 

 spect to plumosus is somewhat easier 

 and all ferns now are fairly plentiful. 

 On the other hand, green galax leaves 

 have advanced to $20 per thousand. 



The committee of the Connecticut 

 legislature on appropriations was 

 asked at its liearing on March 15 to 

 favor a measure appropriating $1,150,- 

 000 for the state park commission for 

 the purpose of acquiring more lands 

 for state parks. The bill also provides 

 for an appropriation of $15,000 for ex- 

 penses. Lucius F. Robinson of Hart- 

 ford, a member of the park commis- 

 sion, said Connecticut had lagged be- 

 hind in the matter of preserving park 

 areas. This state, above all others, 

 should take the initiative in park de- 

 velopment.
