Flower Market Reports 



'Continued from pa^e b^Q) 



are not anything like good enough to 

 please the grower, but what can one 

 do? The goods are there but no pur- 

 chasers. It has been a bad week of 

 trading all around, apart from any ill 

 effects which the election always 

 brings to business. Chrysanthemums 

 are now very fine, as are roses of all 

 stocks, but American Beauty is just 

 now shy with us. All other stocks 

 are in good enough supply. 



Tone of market 

 PHILADELPHIA rather better. No 

 advance in aver- 

 age prices; but better clean-up, and 

 returns on the whole have showed an 

 improvement. American Beauty roses 

 scarce and probably the best seller 

 on the list. Among pink roses Kil- 

 larney and Maryland are the leaders 

 and both very good, indeed, especially 

 Maryland, which have improved great- 

 ly both in stem and flower. Size and 

 substance is now at high standard. 

 Double White Killarney leads the pro- 

 cession in whites. As for the yellows 

 • — the market is certainly very rich in 

 these and Sunburst is at present the 

 bright particular star as a golden 

 glory. A great feature of this new 

 rose is its keeping quiilities. Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward is also among the favor- 

 ites in the "seven great yellows." Just 

 think of it — seven yellow roses, and 

 all going well! How many of our 

 readers would have believed such a 

 thing possible seven years ago? Up 

 to very recently yellows were not 

 wanted, but since Melody came note 

 the change in sentiment! A marked 

 advance is noticeable in carnations, 

 both in length of stem and substance 

 of flower. The leaders are still Ward 

 and Pink Delight. Bonnaffon is the 

 boss of the chrysanthemum situation. 

 In whites at present Razer holds sway, 

 but by the time this gets in print it 

 will be Chadwick. There has been a 

 falling off in the cattleya supply and 

 prices have improved slightly. Weather 

 cooler and consequently more favor- 

 able for the keeping quality of violets 

 The last of the dahlias came Novem- 

 ber 4th. Never before have we seen 

 them hold on so long. But at last 

 these and all other outside stuff are 

 gone and the poor harassed green- 

 house men draw a sigh of relief. 



The market had a 

 ST. LOUIS fairly good week in 



trading. Cut flowers of 

 all kinds were in plenty at any of the 

 wholesale houses. Business seems good 

 in all branches among the local re- 

 tailers but the supply has been so 

 great that the commission men seem

unable to dispose of their consigu- 

 ments unless in big lots and at cheap 

 prices. Chrysanthemums are the sell- 

 ing flower just now and this is the 

 cause of the big glut in roses at the 

 present time. Roses, unless sold cheap, 

 have little call except for the extra 

 fancy grades. The same may he said 

 of carnations. This market has too 

 many of the common short stem ones 

 which don't sell well. Violets are com- 

 ing in better and there are plenty of 

 them. Lily of the valley and lilies sell 

 well and all greens had a good call all 

 week. 



Business during 

 WASHINGTON the pre-election 



week was quite 

 slow as usual during election years. 

 The cold wave has killed off consider- 

 able of the outdoor stock which has 

 been flooding the markets since last 

 August. There is a plentitude of 

 everything with the one exception 01 

 carnations, which are scarce in the 

 colors. The Fire Flame (single) rose 

 is one of the season's latest offerings 



and of these there is a moderate sup- 

 ply at $1.50 a dozen. American Beauty 

 roses are being offered at from $2.00 

 up; other roses are bringing from 

 $4.00 to $7.00, and even more for the 

 choice stock. Violets are more plen- 

 tiful and are in better condition. 



The creation of a new horticultural 

 station, to be known as the South 

 Idaho station, and located at Jerome, 

 Idaho, has been authorized by Dr. B. 

 T. Galloway, the director of the bu- 

 reau of plant industry. Its work will 

 include the solution of important prob- 

 lems connected with the raising of 

 potatoes under irrigation methods and 

 the production of sugar beet seed.
