'^Ct^nttnued from page 9^7) 



rather soft and not lasting well. Or- 

 chids are plentiful and good and 

 moving fairly well at moderate prices. 

 Lily of the valley is selling all right 

 but the quality is nothing to brag 

 about. 



The demand for 

 PITTSBURGH good flowers which 



according to sea- 

 son, should be about over, con- 

 tinues, although it may slow up and 

 the bottom fall out, as it were, any 

 day. Peonies are about gone, but 

 there are plenty of good roses, includ- 

 ing American Beauties. Green stuff is 

 coming in more plentifully than 

 earlier in the season. 



Business has been 

 ROCHESTER somewhat better this 



w e e k. Carnations 

 are shortening up considerably; they 

 are becoming smaller and do not bring 

 such good figures. Reds are hard to 

 move but there is a steady sale of 

 good white and pink varieties. Roses 

 are nreeting about all demands but 

 they are less plentiful. Ophelias are 

 about as popular as any but good reds 

 sell well. Outdoor larkspur and gail- 

 lardias are coming in and more satis- 

 factorily as do also peonies, especial- 

 ly the finer varieties, lemon lily and 

 Canterbury bells. Bedding stock lags 

 and many growers are pretty well 

 stocked up with it. 



Trade has come to a 

 ST. LOUIS complete standstill. 

 Stock is fast showing 

 the effects of hot weather. Carna- 

 tions, especially Pink Enchantress, are 

 poor and unsaleable. Roses hold up 

 fairly well in quality, Ophelia opening 

 up too quickly. Carnations are in 

 poor demand. Sweet peas outdoors 

 are shortening up on stem and another 

 week will see a shortage. New hardy 

 ferns are now starting to come in. 



The market will 

 WASHINGTON be clear of lily of 



the valley July 1. 

 There is a marked shortage of pips 

 and the production of valley has 

 stopped. Business is keeping up very 

 well. The presence of the several for- 

 eign delegations is bringing consid- 

 erable business to the stores in the 

 way of dinner decorations. There is 

 the usual run of June weddings and 

 the school decorations this year have 

 been, for the most part, very satisfac- 

 tory. Roses continue good and there 

 is "a marked demand for Russells. 

 Shawyers are in bad shape because of 

 mildew. Carnations, although small, 

 are very good. Orchids are plentiful, 

 and in good demand. There is no de- 

 mand for peonies.
