Flower Market Reports 



lies and colors until there was a com- 

 plete exhaustion of the stock in trade. 

 Of carnations the demand far exceed- 

 ed the supply, other flowers, in turn, 

 falling in line, according to popular- 

 ity. Carnations, which sold from 25 

 to 35 cents apiece, are now retailing 

 at 50 cents a dozen. Other flowers re- 

 main about the same. At time of 

 writing, there Is some scarcity of all 

 varieties with tlie exception of roses, 

 including American Beauties, and 

 sweet peas.' 



There was and is 



ST. LOUIS plenty of stock of good 

 quality at the whole- 

 sale market. On 'Mothers' Day," 

 May 13. carnations cleaned up well at 

 stiff prices, whites bringing from 5 to 

 8 cents. In other stocks the market 

 had a great supply., with very low 

 prices. Lilies and callas drag and 

 can be bought as low as $3 |ier 100. 

 Sweet peas are hard to dispose of at 

 any price. Outdoor lily of the valley, 

 peonies, daisies, snapdragon, cape 

 Jasmine and miniature gladioli are al! 

 quoted very low. All greens are sell- 

 ing well, especially asparagus. 



The Mother's Day 



WASHINGTON 'lusiness in this 

 market was very 

 good and white roses as well as white 

 caniations sold well. As in former 

 years, the stock of carnations soon 

 ijecame exhausted. The price was $8 

 per hundred and the finality of the 

 flowers was very good. Peonies are in 

 and sell well because of their recent 

 arrival. Violets are oft the market. 

 Sweet peas are not in the heavy sup- 

 ply noticeable last week. American 

 Befuty roses are still very plentiful 

 and low in price. Gardenias are in 

 heavy supply and are being sold on 

 the streets in profusion. Orchids con- 

 tinue scarce, with very high prices 

 prevailing. Dogwood is to be had in 

 huge quantities, and snowballs and 

 fruit blossoms are offered in the mar- 

 ket places. Greens are quite short in 

 supply. Scarcity of lily of the valley 

 is again reported, although outdoor 

 stock is helping.
