Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page 877) 

 are not so plentiful. Hudson River 

 violets are coming in ; American Beau- 

 ty roses are in tine shape and there 

 are some choii e home-grown orchids. 

 The past week has 

 NEW YORK been a disappoint- 

 ment to growers and 

 to their wholesale market representa- 

 tives who had reason to believe that 

 things had started on the upward 

 drive towards the holiday standard. 

 The weather clerk undoubtedly has to 

 nine much of the responsibility but 

 — who knows what this same official 

 may send us between now and Christ- 

 mas? All there is to be done is to 

 "live in hope." The plain fact is that 

 the market conditions are unprece- 

 dentedly stagnant for the season and 

 another bad feature is the enervating 

 effect on the flower product which' 

 gives rise to much solicitude as to the 

 outcome. All there is to be done is to 

 wait in patience and soliloquize on the 

 unusual conditions which, however, 

 must be endured while they last. Re- 

 ceipts on all lines are heavy and dis- 

 tribution very slow. Chrysanthemums 

 Are still plentiful and interfere more 

 or less with other stock. Holly and 

 princess pine are in very poor condi- 

 tion- win -i ever in fact, in this mar- 

 ket. The wreath bus'ness is booming. 



As Chri s t m as 

 PHILADELPHIA week approaches 



growers are an- 

 xiously scanning the horizon for signs 

 and port. ins of a good advance in 

 cut flower prices. So far as can be 

 judged at this writing the prospects 

 are not hopeful for any such proposi- 

 tion. The weather for the past few 

 weeks has been mild and clear, with 

 the result that all crops are in cxcep-

tionally good condition — bearing free- 

 ly, healthy and vigorous— with prom- 

 ise of these conditions right tin- 

 the holidays. The wise heads amen?; 

 the commission men think best re- 

 sults can be got by keeping figures 

 within moderate bounds and getting 

 rid of the goods. Last week wa 

 good week and nobody has any 

 fault to find with it. although M was 



not quite so "gingery" as the pre 



vious. For one thing receipts of 

 stock were larger all along the line 

 ai ti in face of this, prices weal 

 a little; bul there was a big volume 

 of business and everybody is pretty 

 well satisfied. There arc plenty ol 

 American Beauty roses, but no over 

 supply. The quality is excellenl 

 they are certainly one glorious flower 

 as seen on the market at pics. mi 

 rMle-: grea! credit on the growers 

 Kill i end is coming in more fl 

 Kino stuff, well grown and up to stand 

 ard in all respects. Killarney and 

 Maryland have also improved and 

 Fhow up much better as to color and 



finish. The carnation market is in 

 good shape; both production and qual- 

 ity improved, with a firmer trend in 

 prices. Beacon. Ward. Gloriosa, the 

 three Enchantri isses, and White Pi r- 

 fection are especially fine. Plenty of 

 fine orchids and good sale. Dendro- 

 brium formosum, cattleyas, Oncidium 

 pi eiosum, cyprlpediums, spray or- 

 chids, make up a fine selection for th > 

 on. No up-to-date flower store is 

 complete without this loader and gar- 

 denias, which are also good now and 

 in liberal supply. Violets, lily ol 

 Roman hyacinths, paper v. h 

 sweet peas, mignonette and lilies are 

 ill plentiful and excellent.
