Flower Market Reports 



water lilies are comiug in nicely. For 

 these latter, however, there is poor 

 demand. 



The market during 

 ST. LOUIS these hot days is pret- 

 ty well demoralized. 

 Flowers are of poor quality, demand 

 slow and prices at their lowest point. 

 Funeral work is about the only thing 

 that keeps the doors open for business. 

 Roses are poor in color and short in 

 stem. The same may be said of car- 

 nations. Other stock brings little now- 

 adays. 



Business in the na- 

 WASHINGTON tional capital is lit- 

 erally shot to 

 pieces and were it not for the funeral 

 work and the occasional sale of cut 

 flowers all of the dealers could readily 

 shut up shop and take an extended va- 

 cation. It is claimed that there is a 

 shortage of good stock but no one 

 misses it. The carnations that are 

 coming in are remarkably good for 

 this season. Roses are not very good 

 and this is particularly true of flowers 

 shipped in from the North which reach 

 here in very bad shape. Asters and 

 dahlias are increasing in quantity al- 

 though the latter are not yet very good 

 and shatter when touched.
