Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from pagt 411) 



Wagon loads of it — and no chance of 

 a market for more than ten per 

 cent. American Beauty roses have 

 taken a big slump. The local growers 

 are now in with their ciops, and they 

 are good. They may not be so bright 

 in color yet as the eastern grown, but 

 otherwise quite equal, and a few cool 

 nights will bring them right up to 

 standard even as to color. So down 

 goes the price. All other roses are 

 vastly improved as to quality and 

 quantity. Carnations still rather 

 short in the stem but otherwise very 

 satisfactory. The orchid scarcity 

 seems to be over. Plenty for all de- 

 mands this week, labiata mostly. 

 Tritomas are selling well; lilies a lit- 

 tle scarcer. Items not on regular 

 price quotations are the following: 

 Roses — Prince de Bulgarie, $6.00 to 

 $8.00; Perle, $3.00 to $5.00; Mis. 

 Aaron Ward, $3.00 to $5.00; Melody, 

 $4.00 to $6.00; Tritomas, $3.00; Tube- 

 roses, $4.00; Cosmos, 60c. to $1.00; 

 Sweet Alyssum, 25c; Petunias, dbl. 

 white, $1.00; Candytuft and Feverfew, 

 bunch, 25c; Delphinium, 35c; Agera- 

 tum, 25c; Hydrangea, $5.00; Golden 

 Glow, dozen bunches, $2.00. 



The market had plenty 

 ST. LOUIS of good stock during 



the last week. White 

 flowers had the call. The warm weath- 

 er of late has put a stop to much 

 sale over the counter. Roses are in 

 abundance in all colors. Carnations 

 too are coming in better each day. 

 Asters are still quite a glut and only 

 the best are selling at all. Gladioli 

 are shortening up as are tuberose 

 spikes. Dahlias are now coming in 

 in large lots. There is still a lot of 

 outdoor truck coming in, with small 

 demands. 



The market is the 

 WASHINGTON same as is usual at 

 this time of year 

 although there was a noticeable 

 change for the better during the past 

 week, a finer class of flowers being 

 called for. American Beauties found 

 an almost ready sale with some calls 

 for gardenias, orchids and lily of the 

 valley. However, the supply of the 

 cheaper stock such as asters, dahlias, 

 snapdragons and other out door flow- 

 ers as are retailed at five cents the 

 Tninch and up, were plentiful. 



A. H. Langjahr has at last got set- 

 tled down into his new wholesale cut 

 flower store at 130 West 28th Street, 

 New York. This is located in the cen- 

 tre of the new wholesale section and is 

 new throughout, well equipped and 

 spacious, there being over 4000 sq. ft. 

 of floor space in main floor and base- 

 ment. Large flower storage boxes are 

 being erected and every facility for 

 handling flowers expeditiously will 

 be supplied.
