Flower Market Reports 



[Ccntimied from page Sy) 



big demand. Everybody is well satis- 

 fled. 



There was a 

 WASHINGTON marked change in 

 local flower mar- 

 ket conditions following the conclusion 

 of the holiday season. Business fell 

 off and prices dropped. Stock is very 

 good. American Beauty roses are 

 over-plentiful and their sale is draggy. 

 Richmond roses are in some little de- 

 mand but at prices about half those 

 which prevailed two weeks ago. The 

 stock is good but stems are droopy. 

 Carnations are in fine shape. There 

 seems to have been a shortage of lily 

 of the valley at nearby points for large 

 orders were sent into Washington for 

 out-of-town shipment. Orchids are 

 more plentiful than they have been.
