Flower Market Reports 



( Contin urd from pa^ 421) 



The condition of the 

 ST. LOUIS local market remains 



about the same as a 

 week ago. The cooler weal her thi' end 

 of the week did brighten up things a 

 little with the retailers, and a f-leady 

 improvement is looked for from now 

 on. There is no scarcity in stock; 

 plenty of asters at any \tx\cx' and 

 gladioli have sold cheap. Roses are 

 small and carnations few and poor. 

 Smilax is scarce. 



Stock is less pien- 

 WASHINGTON tiful but there is 



enough to go 

 around. Orchids continue to bring as 

 high as $9 a dozen and there is a bet- 

 ter demand for these and for American 

 Beauty roses, which are now quite 

 good. There are more carnations 

 coming in, and dahlias are more 

 plentiful, but asters are fast waning 

 and good ones are scarce. Lily of the 

 valley continues very scarce. There is 

 a better sale of cut flowers generally 

 reported.
