 Flower Market Reports

is especially true of the moderate 

 priced stocks which are always in de- 

 mand by people of modest means. The 

 millionaires who buy the highest 

 grades are still holding off, and this 

 of course affects all prices; so while 

 the demand is good, prices remain at 

 a low level. American Beauty roses 

 are especially affected by these con- 

 ditions. Russells and others which 

 are not quite so much the rich man's 

 flower, go a little better. Carnations 

 are selling well, especially the bright 

 deep pinks. The blush varieties do 

 not go so freely. Cattleyas, vandas, 

 oncidiums and cypripediums are in 

 fair supply, but dendrobiums are rath- 

 er scarce. Lilies go fairly well but 

 there is no big supply. Lily of the 

 valley rather jumpy on account of the 

 price; when buyers want it they want 

 it, but they do not stock up as they 

 used to under normal conditions. Vio- 

 lets are very good and selling better 

 than they did last year. Of course the 

 Autumn Queen is reigning in full 

 splendor and leads the procession; so, 

 as in the lady's postscript, we have to 

 mention her last. 



In the words of a 



PITTSBURGH wholesale man, 

 "the poor and the 

 dead are our best patrons these war 

 times when the debutantes and other 

 Inspirations for entertaining socially 

 are eliminated." Notwithstanding this, 

 business continues fairly good. Chrys- 

 anthemums are now at their height. 

 The season is remarkably devoid of 

 inferior grades. There is a slightly 

 marked glut on the market of the 

 better grades of roses. 



Business has been 



ROCHESTER only fair. Chrysan- 

 themums are very 

 numerous and prices low. The supply 

 of roses is good but the demand is 

 light. They include very fine Ophelia, 

 Ward, Sunburst. Scott Key and Sep- 

 tember Morn. Carnations are becom- 

 ing more plentiful and sell well. Pom- 

 pons, violets and miscellaneous stock 

 move good. Lilies are not selling over 

 fast. The lack of corsage work is par- 

 ticularly noticed at this time. 



The market is well 



ST. LOUIS supplied with all va- 

 rieties of flowers and 

 demand has been fairly good. Every- 

 thing has been pretty well cleaned up 

 at moderate prices. Violets are in- 

 creasing but sales are slow. Supply 

 In sweet peas, short pompons and all 

 varieties of chrysanthemums selling 

 at reasonable prices.
