Flower Market Reports

if anything and the present high fig- 

 ures are likely to hold firm. Carna- 

 tions are in fine shape and selling 

 well. The same may be said of sweet 

 peas. Roses are rather more plenti- 

 ful and easier in price. Lilies are too 

 many— especially of the poorer grades. 

 Among out-door flowers the most 

 prominent items at present seem to be 

 lilac, forsythia and dogwood. 



Concerning flowers, 

 PITTSBURGH the harvest is great 



but the buyers are 

 few. for at the time of writing nearly 

 forty-eight hours of the Pittsl)urgh 

 Railway Company employees' strike 

 has practically paralysed business of 

 all kinds. Those who risk the conges- 

 tion of the railroad, jitney and private 

 automobile traffic have more practical 

 errands than the esthetic and senti- 

 timental, and nothing less than fu- 

 neral demands are considered in the 

 way of flower buying. However, the 

 florists, wholesale and retail, are hav- 

 ing a chance to catch up a little in 

 the way of sleep and rest lost at Easter 

 which is still talked of as being by 

 far the best ever experienced here. 

 The few flowers which were increased 

 in price, have again dropped to normal. 



Since Easter the cut 

 ST. LOUIS flower market has 



been in an over supply 

 condition. Outdoor stock is coming in 

 now and the greenhouse production 

 has suffered from this. Roses and car- 

 natons are hardly looked at, also 

 sweet peas. The state of affairs has 

 forced prices down to the lowest 

 notch. On Saturday, April 29, the 

 market cleaned up fine. Wild ferns 

 are up to $3.00 per 1,000; other greens 

 are in plenty.
