Flower Market Reports 



{Continued ft-imt fiaffr ^Sj) 



Jupiter, Florida, who still think they 

 own slaves and don't know that the 

 war of sixty-one is over, would wear 

 those flowers themselves instead of 

 flooding the market here with them. 

 We could not make much sens© out 

 of all this, but we pass it along for 

 wiser heads to puzzle out. 



For the time being 

 PITTSBURGH the game is over, 

 and the trade is 

 philosophically and contentedly nib- 

 bling at the odds and ends of business, 

 as it were. As for the flowers them- ■ 

 selves, there are even more than plen- i 

 ty, the really good ones going at fair , 

 prices, the ordinary ones at "any old \ 

 prices," as a wholesale man put it. On 

 the past two Saturdays the downtown 

 streets have been noticeable for the 

 number of boys disposing of good car- 

 nations at practically the purchasers' 

 prices. Present prospects are that ma- 

 terial will shorten up very quickly. 

 Lilies of the valley, particularly, will 

 be scarce. Just now growers are busy 

 renlanting their houses. 



Demand and quality of 

 ST. LOUIS stock are both good 

 and business among 

 the retailers has been fine. The many 

 rain storms have hurt outdoor stock 

 greatly. Prices remain as quoted 

 last week. Roses are still in good 

 condition. These and lily of the val- 

 ley have a big call. Carnations are 

 also in demand and the supply is not 

 overabundant. Gladioli sell well and 

 window displays of them are seen 

 everywhere. Hardy white phlox has 

 a big demand, also coreopsis. 



Stores were excep- 

 WASHINGTON tionally busy last 

 week. Stock con- 

 tinues plentiful and for the most part 

 good. Flowers, usually burnt up by 

 the middle of June, are coming into 

 the market in fair saleable shape. 

 This is particularly true of carnations 

 and sweet peas. Roses from the north 

 are very good and find ready sale. 

 Lilies, of which there is-a large supply, 

 move but slowly. Lily of the valley 

 continues scarce and continues to 

 bring $6 per hundred. Pond lilies are 

 being received in larger quantities. 

 Rambler roses are quite late this year 

 and at this writing the market is 

 caught short, with a good demand. 

 Tausendschoen and others of the early 

 varieties are passing off the market; 

 Dorothy Perkins and the later varie- 

 ties are only just beginning to show- 

 color.
