Flower Market Reports 



{Continued from page /yj) 



Prices for the past 

 WASHINGTON week have been ex- 

 ceedingly high be- 

 cause of the general shortage of stock. 

 Roses have been in especial demand 

 and orders for these could not be filled 

 in entirety. Red and white varieties 

 are most popular and it has been al- 

 most impossible to obtain any quantity 

 of either. The prices range from %% to 

 $20 per hundred. It was also difficult 

 to procure any considerable quantity 

 of carnations. There is little demand 

 for cattleyas, although they are of very 

 fine quality. The sale and quality ol 

 gardenias are improving. Lily of the 

 valley is hanging fire. There are 

 not enough sweet peas to go 

 around. These are among the most 

 popular flowers at this time. Violets 

 are not doing as well as they have 

 been and the prices vary with the de- 

 mand. Tulips of all colors are selling 

 well. There is quite a scarcity of lilies, 

 only a small quantity of locally grown 

 stock being available.
