Flower Market Reports 



i^C^ntittHed from page J^j) 



cr^tiug a demand for cut flowers, 

 which is well-nigh impossible to sup- 

 ply. Not in a long time have flowers 

 of all kinds been as scarce, and accord- 

 ingly as high in price. Long-stemmed 

 roses are practically the only ones ob- 

 tainable, all others being relatively 

 "out of sight." Home grown peonies 

 are as yet only a vision with an ac- 

 companying fervent hope of realiza- 

 tion. Practically all that are on the 

 market now come from the South. 

 Landscape and bedding work has 

 never been as good, owing undoubted- 

 ly to the exceptional financial prosper- 

 ity hereabouts. Both city and subur- 

 ban florists and landscape engineers 

 and gardeners alike affirm that they 

 have never had as busy a season. 



Business has been 

 ST. LOUIS hardly up to the usual 

 standard. The growers 

 are all busy with plants. Stock of 

 anything is in large supply and of ex- 

 tra good quality. It has taxed the 

 capacity of the wholesalers all week. 

 Prices are low and the poor stock has 

 little chance of being sold. Out of 

 door stock and cape jasmine buds 

 from Texas add to the congestion. 



Business continues 

 WASHINGTON to be very good. 

 Stock is very 

 plentiful with the exception of lily of 

 the valley and orchids. There is an 

 over-abundance of peonies. The ship- 

 ping business on peonies to the north- 

 ern markets is very good, enabling 

 these flowers to maintain a fair price. 

 Carnations are in heavy supply but 

 are cleaning up well, and there has 

 been a good market for roses of all 

 kinds. There is a heavy supply of 

 gardenias. Sweet peas are again com- 

 ing in good and are in fair demand. 

 Gladioli are very plentiful and good. 

 Snapdragon is being used to some ex- 

 tent in many dinner decorations.
