The Market. 



With a shoitoning in the general sup- 

 ply, the flower market held its own 

 fairly well throughout last week. It 

 could not l)e said that there was any im- 

 provement in the demand; in fact, sales 

 were away Itelow the normal mark. A 

 good many retailers say that they cannot 

 make sales on the present high cost 

 basis, but others not noted for their 

 low selling prices say that the public 

 is not buying to the ordinary extent 

 and that this is in line with the experi- 

 ence of other industries. When people 

 enter a store evidently interested as 

 Irrespective purchasers, ask prices and

 can believe tliat something is wrong, and 

 this happens daily in scores of stores, in 

 spite of the lure of good salesmanship. 

 It remains to be seen, as the holidays 

 approach, whether this is a mere tempo- 

 rary condition or one which must be 

 faced from now on. Certain it is that a 

 much smaller quantity of flowers is be- 

 ing used, and if ever some smart local 

 publicity would be useful, it is right 

 now. 



While roses are in somewhat better 



supply, arrivals are not at all heavy. 

 The quality generally is fine, particularly 

 in the long-stemmed grades. The move- 

 ment of all roses is slow. American 

 Beauty is in quantity quite sufficient for 

 the demand, at $3,5 to $75 for the spe- 

 cial grades. Hybrid teas are bringing $3 

 to $30, the latter figure for the best 

 grade of Premier, Columbia, Russell and 

 Crusader. Hadley in the same grade 

 reaches the $40 mark, and Key $60. 

 Premier, among the pinks, is showing to 

 fine advantage.
