Flower Market Reports 



f Continued from page 2S3) 



for SO many weeks must now take a 

 back seat. Maryland and all other 

 roses are now quite plentiful. The 

 shortage reported for some time back 

 has entirely disappeared. There is 

 not much change in the carnation sit- 

 uation. These are still scarce and of 

 only middling quality. What few flow- 

 ers come in clean up fairly well at 

 moderate prices. Orchids are very 

 scarce — particularly cattleyas. The 

 demand for gardenias has fallen off 

 somewhat. Sweet peas do not cut 

 much of a figure. The best flowers 

 are coming from northern and eastern 

 points; but they do not stand reship- 

 ping well and are good only for local 

 wants. 



This has indeed been 



NEW YORK a week of asters. 

 Enormous quantities 

 have arrived every day. some of first 

 rate quality, and ■ there have been 

 enough of the latter to satisfy all buy- 

 ers. Dahlias have been on view at 

 some of the wholesalers, but they are 

 not wanted. Very few orchids to be 

 had just now, but 600 were found and 

 supplied to fill one order this week, 

 together with 1100 bunches of pink 

 lilies. The latter are a glut as are 

 also gladioli. Small roses have im- 

 proved in quality, with a good choice 

 in variety. Richmonds, Tafts, Hilling- 

 dons and Wards have been good sell- 

 ers, but the market has been much too 

 overcrowded with the inferior and 

 worthless stuff. Gardenias have been 

 scarce and somewhat in demand. 

 Golden Glow chrysanthemums are 

 coming in lightly. 



The market is very dull 



ST. LOUIS as far as demand is 

 concerned but in big 

 supply in seasonable cut flowers. The 

 commission houses have been and are 

 loaded down with asters, gladiolus and 

 roses, and no clean-up sales have been 

 reported on any of these during last 

 week. The retailers are buying spar- 

 ingly and say that the month of 

 August has been a dull one so far.
