Flower Market Reports 



(ConttKued from page ~oq) 



everything seemingly undersjoipg a 

 general stimulation. 



Trade has been 

 SAN FRANCISCO about all that 

 could be ex- 

 pected during the past week. Cut 

 flowers moved fairly well considering 

 the approach of the Thanksgiving fes- 

 tivities, which like other similar occa- 

 sions usually has a depressing effect 

 upon the sale of flowers just before 

 and after tlie holiday. Regarding the 

 stock offered on the market, the princi- 

 pal feature is the great reduction in 

 the supply of chrysanthemums as the 

 result of two sharp frosts last week. 

 In some of the growing sections the 

 entire late crop, even to the buds, was 

 caught, but other growers were more 

 fortunate and will be able to bring iu 

 a good many more blooms. There are 

 plenty magnificent greenhouse varie- 

 ties for show purposes and select 

 trade, but the reduced sujjply of out- 

 door stock has stiffened up values 

 somewhat. From all reports this has 

 been a very satisfactory season for 

 chrysanthemums. The average qual- 

 ity has been excellent, the supply 

 large, the demand good and prices 

 fairly firm. Chinese pompons are still 

 appearing in considerable quantity and 

 maintain their popularity well. A fine 

 cut of roses is now appearing, the 

 quality showing improvement from 

 day to day. All varieties are in ample 

 supply with the exception of Cecile 

 Brunner. more of which could be used 

 nicely. Carnations are well up to 

 standard now. The supply of violets 

 finds an easy outlet. The local de- 

 mand takes large quantities and an 

 active shipping movement cleans up 

 the surplus closely. The demand for 

 lily of the valley has kei)t the supply 

 down and there has been no surplus. 

 The market is well supplied with or- 

 chids- and gardenias are a little more 

 l)leiitiful. 



The market opened 

 ST. LOUIS brisk the last week and 

 stock of all kinds 

 moved lively for a while. Chrysan- 

 themums are at their heii^ht and the 

 market has been glutted with them all 

 week. Prices have not been high on 

 medium quality but fancy stock has 

 brought good figures. Roses, too, have 

 been so plentiful that they went beg- 

 ging at almost any price, quality, 

 though, of the best. Carnations are 

 too many also and often big lots went 

 to waste. Thanksgiving week is looked 

 upon as a busy one and flowers other 

 than chrysanthemums will have a look

in this week; so look for a better re- 

 port nc.\t time. 



Uusincss last week 

 WASHINGTON showed a general 

 improvement in all 

 lines. Severe frosts have finally killeii 

 off the outdoor stock but the market 

 is still Hooded with small chrysanthe- 

 mums of very good quality which tend 

 to keep down the prices of roses and 

 carnations to or below normal for this 

 time of the year. Good roses are still 

 selling at below $5 per hundred. Car- 

 nations are bringing from $1 to $3. 

 Chrysanthemums are to be had at al- 

 most any price the buyer wishes to 

 pay for them. Cattleyas are very scarce 

 and the price has gone to $7.50 per 

 dozen. Gardenias are to be had but 

 in too small quantities to warrant a 

 quotation.
