Flower Market Reports 



{Continued frotn page y/j) 



Full details of the 

 New YORK Memorial Day busi- 

 ness here are not yet 

 available at this office, but in general 

 the situation can be described as one 

 of enormous supply of indoor flowers 

 with demand insufficient to satisfac- 

 torily consume them. Roses and car- 

 nations were in inordinate supply and 

 dealers were glad to sell, in most 

 •cases, at low figures, although some 

 specialties of wide repute brought top 

 figures. The business done by subur- 

 iDan and cemetery florists was unprece- 

 dently large, both for plants and flow- 

 ers, but there was stock enough and 

 to spare. Many flowers usually fliling 

 a place of prominence in the Memorial 

 Day menu were conspicuously absent 

 in the market this year, but there was 

 plenty of other material to take their 

 place. The cut of roses was very 

 heavy. Outdoor lily of the valley was 

 abundant and nobody seemed to care 

 about it. 



Trade has been 

 PHILADELPHIA pretty fair with 



prices ruling 

 rather lower all along the line. The 

 situation improved a little on Friday 

 and Saturday on account of the ap- 

 proaching holiday and advance booR- 

 ings. Roses are p'entitul and the 

 quality unusually good for the season. 

 The same may be said of carnations 

 and the supplies of same are more 

 abundant than for some time past. 

 Sweet peas are still fine but moving 

 a little slow. Memorial Day trade 

 started in bi-iskly on-Monday, the 28th. 

 Local peonies are not in. which is 

 making business in other lines better. 



Judging from pros- 

 PITTSBURGH pects at the time of 



writing. Memorial 

 Day business will be surpassingly 

 good this year, and according to the 

 way orders are coming in, all lacking 

 to make it the banner year in the his- 

 tory of the local trade, will be the 

 scarcity occasioned by the daily 

 showers and attendant dark skies and 

 chilly atmosphere. The peony situa- 

 tion has fulflUed last week's predic- 

 tion and there is not a single home- 

 grown bloom. The few peonies that 

 have come in from the South are of 

 inferior quality. Green decoration 

 stuff is scarce. Asparagus plumosus 

 being especially so. Roses, lilies and 

 carnations are coming in quite well, 

 the quality being all that could be de- 

 sired. Even American Beauties are 

 abundant and selling well. Prices 

 continue to hold up well. 



Trade has continued 

 ROCHESTER very active during 



the week, with prices 

 about as usual. Bedding stock does 

 not move over-fast. Everything out- 

 side is at a standstill. A few good 

 sized weddings have taken place and 

 have helped to work off large quanti- 

 ties of stock. Roses are plentiful and 

 the shorter grades clear at low figures.

Very fine quality Is seen in Hadley, 

 Russell and Ophelia. Lillies are in 

 abundance just now. Large quantities 

 of German stock in pink, white and 

 lavander reach us and clear easily. 

 Yellow Spanish iris sells well, carna- 

 tions are becoming soft and somewhat 

 inferior. Sweet peas are in good sup- 

 ply and the demand is according. Tu- 

 lips are plentiful and sell well. 



At time of writing, car- 

 ST. LOUIS nations, sweet peas and 



roses have stiffened in 

 price, of course, owing to Memorial 

 Day demand, which is expected to be 

 heavy. Fancy stock in roses is bring- 

 ing good prices.
