Flower Market Reports 



f CotLthtued from pa^e O^o) 



Indian summer time, we have an ava- 

 lanche of chrysanthemums such as 

 this market has never before experi- 

 enced. The wholesale business is in 

 a deplorable state and it is not possi- 

 ble to quote any reliable prices, the 

 market being in such a very unstable 

 condition. Many growers have been 

 trying to hold back for Thanksgiving, 

 but the weather has vetoed this. Oth- 

 er stocks are quite as plentiful as 

 chrysanthemums in proportion and the 

 prices quoted on these are in like 

 manner unreliable. 



Chrysant he- 

 PHILADELPHIA mums are now 



in their full 

 glory. Splendid Bonnaffons are the 

 leaders in yellow; and the three Chad- 

 wicks, white, yellow and pink, are in 

 the front rank in their special class. 

 Yellow and white Eatons are also con- 

 spicuous. Some of the varieties usual 

 only for Thanksgiving have already 

 been cropped. This has brought im- 

 mense volumes of flowers to market 

 for the week but withal the prices 

 have held their own fairly well. In 

 consequence of this unusually early 

 cutting it is prophesied that Thanks- 

 giving flowers will be scarcer than 

 usual. Roses are fine stock all along 

 the line. We have never seen finer 

 Maryland at this season and the Kil- 

 larneys are also magnificent. Beauties 

 are still rather scarce and are higher 

 in price. Indications point to increas- 

 ed production within the next week or 

 so. Yellow roses are still going well, 

 with Sunburst leading and Ward and 

 Melody pulling right up. The cooler 

 weather has shortened up the carna- 

 tion crop, and the market on these is 

 of the healthiest character; quality 

 improving. Orchids are in fair supply 

 with demand good. Violets plentiful 

 and selling well. Sweet peas have

made their appearance and are fair for 

 so early in the season. 



The local florists are tumbling over 

 themselves to get a few flowers of 

 Fire Flame rose to present to their 

 extra special customers. All of which 

 is good business, and in line with the 

 new publicity campaign which we 

 hear so much about. 



Few changes, only that 

 ST. LOUIS there are more chrys- 

 anthemums of the 

 fancy grade. Business is not any too 

 brisk. Most of the leading retail 

 stores are making great chrysanthe- 

 mum displays in their show windows 

 and say there is very little call for 

 anything else. Roses are very plenti- 

 ful. Carnations are improving in 

 quantity and quality. Violets were in 

 big demand all during the week, with 

 not too many coming in. 



There is more 

 WASHINGtON stock in the mar- 

 ket than is needed 

 and as a whole business may be 

 termed dull. Prices on all varieties 

 are low. The large quantity of chrys- 

 anthemums that are now coming into 

 the market are displacing all other 

 flowers. Locally grown roses in many 

 cases are exceptionally fine and vio- 

 lets are coming into the market in 

 better shape. It is expected that the 

 unrest caused throughout the govern- 

 ment circles by the change In the ad- 



ministration will tend to materially 

 decrease the demand for cut flowers 

 and this condition will continue until 

 after Inauguration Day and until the 

 employees are absolutely sure that no 

 changes will be made tor political 

 reasons.
