Flower Market Reports 



{Cfiniinvtd from fiagy Sbj) 



over the worst of the glut, including 

 the peonies. What peonies are avail- 

 able now are mostly cold-storage and 

 are bringing fairly good prices. Good 

 roses are selling well, the leaders be- 

 ing American Beauty, Russell and Had- 

 ley. These three have held their qual- 

 ity better than most others all along 

 the line. There has also been a good 

 demand for Rambler sprays, and this 

 still continues. Carnations are plenti- 

 ful but the quality is nothing wonder- 

 ful except in a few isolated instances. 

 The lily glut is about over and these 

 will be back to normal very shortly. 

 Delphiniums in the free, graceful and 

 showy forms, such as Belladonna, are 

 quite a feature of the market and meet 

 with much favor. They are a valuable 

 addition and, a bright spot just at this 

 time of year. Sweet peas are still 

 holding their own pretty well. The hot 

 weather hasn't hit them yet. We 

 haven't had any hot weather to speak 

 of so far. Of course there are wagon 

 loads of blue cornflower. They sell in 

 large quantities, although at low fig- 

 ures, as there is nothing more chic and 

 lasting for a boutonniere. Lily of the 

 valley seems to be in good demand in 

 some places but slow in others. Prices 

 are above normal everywhere on this 

 staple and indispensable article. 



The wholesale cut flower 

 ST. LOUIS market experienced a 



good month in both de- 

 mand and consignments. Much was 

 expected by the retailers for decorating 

 work for the National Democratic Con- 

 vention, and this with graduating work 

 and weddings kept them quite busy 

 and ended the season in glory. We 

 have had plenty of rain and outdoor 

 stock is looking good. This with cool 

 nights has kept up the quality of the 

 stock fairly well. The market contains 

 plenty of roses. Carnations are still 

 excellent. Lilies are up and so is lily 

 of the valley. Sweet peas sell well at 

 present time. Fancy ferns are scarce. 

 The June rush is 

 WASHINGTON about over and the 

 stores are begin- 

 ning to feel the usual slack season of 

 summer. There has been an over- 

 supply of rain, punctuated with hail- 

 storms that have been more or less 

 damaging. The heated period is now 

 at hand and stock is beginning to show 

 the effects thereof. Sweet peas con- 

 tinue to be as good as have ever been I 

 seen in this market and hold ready 

 sale. Lily of the valley remains scarce 

 but is not in the great demand of early 

 June. Roses from northern points are 

 good and sell well. Peonies are still 

 to be had although the local crop is 

 about over with. Carnations are show- 

 ing the effects of the weather and are 

 very cheap. Water lilies are seen in 

 ever.v store. Cattleyas are more plen- 

 tiful and selling better. Lilies are 

 stagnant.
