Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page O43) 



per 100. There has been a good de- 

 mand for green and decorative goods 

 for Hallowe'en. A considerable quan- 

 tity of mignonette was disposed of dur- 

 ing the week at $3 per 100. 



The wholesalers say 

 ST. LOUIS that last week was a 



good one with them 

 and all fancy stock sold well. Plenty 

 of stock is being consigned to this 

 market, chrysanthemums being quite 

 heavy at present and bringing a good 

 price. Roses of all usual varieties are 

 most plentiful. Carnations are some- 

 what scarce. Violets are looking bet- 

 ter each day. The frost of the pa:t 

 week has killed oft' all outdoor stock — 

 the retailers all say that the business 

 has picked up greatly since the cold 

 weather set in. 



The decided 

 WASHINGTON change in the wea- 

 ther last week and 

 the exceptional number of large wed- 

 dings and funerals created a grea; 

 boom locally. In addition to this sev- 

 eral of the large department stores 

 celebrated anniversaries and thes? 

 called for large quantities of cut flow- 

 ers. The frost of Thursday and Fri- 

 day nights killed off a lot of the out- 

 door stock, much to the delight of 

 those operating houses. Cosmos and 

 dahlias will soon be memories anj 

 their going brings in the chrysanthe- 

 mum, which, at this writing, is coming 

 into the market in excellent shape. 

 One local firm is cutting between two 

 and four thousand blooms daily and 

 are disposing of all they cut. All stock 

 is very' plentiful with the possible ex- 

 ception of carnations, which, however, 

 aiv of fine quality. Orchids and gar- 

 denias are plentiful and the supply and 

 demand are about equal. The noith- 

 ern violets are very good, indeed, and 

 are being sold in larger quantities. 

 Lily of the valley is going good and 

 greens are also moving well. Roses 

 are more plentiful and in better shape 

 than they have been. Business has 

 been very good and there has been 

 little cause for complaint.
