( Cotititiiie^i fy^^m pagt /5j ) 



for no apparent good reason. There 

 is some splendid lilac, single and double 

 white, now and a moderate amount of 

 acacia pubescens is being offered. 



As predicted In 

 PHILADELPHIA our last week's 



report, stock be- 

 came generally much more plentiful 

 and prices eased up very considerably. 

 By Friday there was an accumulation 

 and the first instance of anything be- 

 ing sacrificed for a long time back. 

 About the only scarce item was Amer- 

 ican Beauty. This is taking its mid- 

 winter sleep and quotations are higher. 

 Other roses are in larger sujiply and 

 easier. Carnations are very fine and 

 the supply is so heavy that very mod- 

 erate prices prevail. The warm 

 weather has 'played hob" with the 

 sweet peas. First they came in with 

 a rush and then got sick and refused 

 to produce the goods. This flower is 

 not at its best in very hot weather 

 either indoors or out. Orchids con- 

 tinue fairly plentiful, but the indica- 

 tions are that they will be scarcer 

 very soon. The lily of the valley mar- 

 ket is rather spasmodic. Sometimes 

 they are quite scarce, then in a day 

 or two plentiful again. This is rather 

 unusual for this steady-going old stand- 

 by. Emperor and Empress have added 

 ciass to the daffodil host the past 

 week and caused a regrading of prices 

 on the smaller flowered types. Camel- 

 lias and orange blossoms add a touch 

 of the old-fashioned and festive to the 

 general effect. There is also a hint 

 of Acacia pubescens here and there 

 which while it lasts is one of the delec- 

 tables and eagerly sought for. 



As an effusive young 

 PITTSBURGH wholesale salesman 

 put it. "the debu- 

 tantes are still on the job." thus add- 

 ing to the floral demands. Stock is 

 still more plentiful, although not up to 

 the mark. Carnations are about even 

 with the demand, and violets are com- 

 ing in fairly well from the East, the 

 recent weather practically precluding 

 the home product. Lily of the valley 

 and white roses are very scarce, al- 

 though roses of all colors are produc- 

 ing about as needed. Prices continue 

 about the same as for some weeks past. 



The wholesale market 

 ST. LOUIS is in better condition 



than it has been any 

 time this year. Carnations are coming 

 in fine now. Roses are also coming 

 much better than at any time this year 

 with Killarneys in the largest bulk. 

 Tulips are now coming in fine quality, 

 all other staple flowers are in normal 

 supply and demand.
