The Market. 



A heavy supplv of stock continued to 

 come in all last week. It has been ab- 

 sorbed by a steady business that has 

 been satisfactory, following a holiday. 

 The aftermath of Memorial day 

 brought out a great loss to many who 

 handled peonies. The blooms that had 

 been held in storage even a few days 

 fell to pieces when they were brought 

 out. From one-half to two-thirds of 

 every lot held in storage had to be 

 dumped. There is never much enthu- 

 siasm displaved in the handling of 

 peonies for shipping, but, with the crop 

 brought out by the heat the last week 

 in May, it was sadder than ever. Those 

 who refused to handle them were the 

 most comfortable in the long run. The 

 peony crop this vear was one phase of 

 the unexpected that often happens on 

 Memorial day. 



Various Notes. 



The Pinehurst Floral Co. is cutting 

 about 7,000 roses a day. Carnations are 



short. . , , , 



Nearly 17,000 peonies were sold by 

 the Alpha Floral Co. Memorial day and 

 the two preceding days. They were all 

 fresh cut. Last week finished the crop 

 for this year. . 



Charles Robinson, formerly with Mrs. 

 T A. Moseley, is now with the Kansas 

 city Wholesale Cut Flower Co., taking 

 the place of William Fitzhugh, who has 

 gone to the Muehlebach Flower Shop. 



Arthur Newell sold between 500 and 

 600 wreaths for Memorial day. With 

 the exception of the California statice 

 wreaths, all were made by his own 

 force. Oak leaves with cape flowers 

 and statice, and magnolia leaves with 

 strawflowers and statice were used. The 

 wreaths sold at $5 to $25. Few calls 

 were for anything less than $5 and 

 these were made up as wanted. Gold 

 star wreaths were featured. Red, white 

 and blue cape flowers were used, with a 

 gold star in the center. These and the 

 American Legion design were placed on 

 many soldiers' graves.
