Flower Market Reports 



{Cotttintted from pagf S-fj) 



a sluggish demand for lily of the 

 valley, prices hold firm and seem to 

 have an upward tendency. Easter 

 lilies are quite plentiful and rather 

 more than the market can absorb, 

 which, of course, has a depressing 

 effect on prices. No doubt many grow- 

 ers with crops intended for Easter 

 have got some of their plants in flow- 

 er too soon, and have thus upset the 

 equilibrium of the market. Southern 

 daffodils very plentiful, but no over 

 supply of other bulbous stock. Spanish 

 iris, in lavender, white and yellow, is 

 one of the newest comers, and meets 

 with popular demand. Simlax scarce. 



The Lenten quiet in 

 PITTSBURGH business continues 



of c o u r s e. Good 

 stock of all kinds is coming in plenti- 

 fully. Prices remain the same and 

 promise to do so throughout the Easter 

 season, with the exception of carna- 

 tions and sweet peas, which will prob- 

 ably advance slightly. 



The wholesale flower 

 ST. LOUIS market is i)retty much 

 the same as reported 

 last week — plenty of good stock, low 

 prices and the demand slow. Most in 

 abundance are the sweet peas, roses 

 and carnations. These are selling in 

 1,000 lots at remarkably low prices. 

 Good roses in assorted varieties go as 

 low as $7.50 per 1,000. Sweet peas at 

 $2 per 1,000. In bulb stock tulips of 

 the Darwin variety bring $5 per 100. 

 Smilax is still scarce. 



Spring and winter 

 WASHINGTON weather Inter- 

 mingled last week 

 to the detriment of the outdoor stock. 

 It had been thought that summer was 

 at hand, when the city was visited by 

 a snow storm and attendant dropping 

 of the temperature. Pansies, hya- 

 cinths, crocuses and other flowers 

 had been appearing in the gardens in 

 profusion. Prices have been dropping 

 with the increase in the supply of 

 flowers. Thousands of carnations 

 have been sold at prices set by the 

 purchaser, and extra fine sweet peas 

 have gone begging. Local violets are 

 about off the market. Hudson River 

 stock is not selling well because of the 

 condition in which it arrives. Lily of 

 the valley is both scarce and poor in 

 quality. Roses are selling fairly well, 

 with white leading. There are plenty 

 of spring flower blossoms at reason- 

 able prices. Gardenias were sold on 

 the streets last week at ten cents each. 

 Callas and lilies are both plentiful. 



Cincinnati — Ed. Schumann injured a 

 foot and ankle last week. Henry 

 Schwarz has been on the sick list for 

 several days.
