Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from pagt stl) 



The season of 1916- 

 PITTSBURGH 17 has opened most 



auspiciously, even 

 promising to surpass its exceptionally 

 successful predecessor. The repre- 

 sentative of one large wholesale cut 

 flower company conservatively sizes 

 the situation as possibly quite a little 

 better, while one from a competing 

 house is most positive in his state- 

 ment of flattering conditions. F'lowers 

 of quality are coming in plentifully — • 

 cattleyas are superlatively fine and 

 there are plenty of roses. Chrysan- 

 themums and carnations are of good 

 quality, but not yet in suiBcicnt quan- 

 tities to supply the demand. Lilies 

 are rather scarce and there are still a 

 few nice dahlias. Summing all up, 

 the market is pretty well covered, with 

 the exception of yellow daisies, and 

 blooms and plants of all kinds are 

 bringing renumeratlve prices. 



The extremely hot 

 WASHINGTON weather of last 

 week brought 

 large quantities of stock into the mar- 

 ket, and the bulk of it could be had 

 at the buyer's price. Chrysanthemums 

 are the leaders. The frost of the pre- 

 ceding week thinned out the dahlias, 

 and higher prices prevailed on these. 

 There are more orchids offered than 

 the market can consume and the price 

 has dropped to half of what it was. 

 On lily of the valley, also, the price 

 has decreased. There is a shortage 

 of white roses, but there are plenty of 

 all others, with the exception of 

 American Beauties. The supply of vio- 

 lets is increasing and the flowers, look 

 good. Cosmos is very plentiful and 

 sells fairly well in the markets.
