Flower Market Reports 



{Continued from pagf "745) 



Thanksgiving will 

 PITTSBURGH have cleaned up 



chrysanthemums of 

 all kinds. Business conditions are 

 very good, witli satisfactory price list 

 and the demand likewise. There is a 

 plentiful supply of practically all 

 home grown stock. Roses and carna- 

 tions are fair and there are just about 

 enough lilies to clean up nicely each 

 day. Although too early in the sea- 

 son for correct prophecy, the signs 

 point to the probability that violets 

 will be in more favor than for several 

 years past. 



The- market stiffened 

 ST. LOUIS up the past week. Ow- 

 ing to the considerable 

 letup in chrysanthemums, roses and 

 carnations at time of writing are hard- 

 ening up in demand and price. Vio- 

 lets always enjoy a good call for 

 Thanksgiving. Sw-eet peas are not 

 very plentiful, no fancy varieties be- 

 ing yet seen. Thanksgiving trade is 

 good, fancy stock in all lines bringing 

 good prices.

The great variety 

 WASHINGTON of weather with 

 which Washington 

 has been "blessed" during the past 

 week or ten days has had consider- 

 able effect on the business of the 

 local florists. The temperature has 

 risen and has dropped as much as 

 thirty degrees in a few hours. Chrys- 

 anthemums last week passed their 

 height and roses and carnations are 

 slowly coming into their own. The 

 prices on the former have stiffened 

 slightly and there will be the usual in- 

 crease on all flowers for the Thanks- 

 giving Day trade. There has been 

 plenty of everything. Lilies have 

 gone to waste because of the heavy 

 supply of chrysanthemums. Lily of 

 the valley is not very good. Narcissus 

 has not been selling to any extent, 

 it being too early in the season. Vio- 

 lets, sweet peas and miniature roses 

 are considerably in demand. Cat- 

 tleyas are scarce and prices have ad- 

 vanced.
