Flower Market Reports 



iCcntinued from ^age 1S7) 



Some of the whole- 

 WASHINGTON salers and growers 



last week found 

 themselves in a somewhat embarrass- 

 ing position when unable to fill all or- 

 ders which came to them by reason of 

 a heavy shortage in a number of lines. 

 There are hardly enough American 

 Beauty roses to go around. Lilies are 

 almost unobtainable and there are 

 very few gardenias to be had. The 

 sudden change in the temperature 

 which followed brought out the carna- 

 tions in large quantities and the price 

 fell to as low as $2 per hundred. Vio- 

 lets are so plentiful that the supply 

 is measured by the ability of the gath- 

 erers to pick and bunch them. Double 

 violets are practically off the market 



here. Roses, tulips, jonquils and other 

 flowers were complained of as being 

 soft. There was little call for lily of 

 the valley and the market was soon 

 glutted, in marked contrast with the 

 previous heavy shortage. Freesia is 

 in much heavier supply and the price 

 has gone down. Mignonette is good 

 and in fair demand. Sweet peas are 

 as fine as have ever been seen here 

 and are selling well.
