The Market. 



Now that Memorial day is a thing 

 of the past, the market will return to 

 normal conditions and there will be no 

 holiday sales for some time to come. 

 Memorial day, taken as a whole, was 

 not at all satisfactory, as the quality of 

 stock in general was not up to standard 

 and the sales were not as large as they 

 should have been. The whdlesalers 

 found it the hardest week in which to 

 do business that they have experienced 

 in some time. Local orders were taken 

 care of with some degree of comfort, 

 but it was extremely difficult to find 

 stock fit for shipping to other cities. 



Carnations were affected by the ex- 

 treme heat during the earlier part of 

 the week and were soft. They were 

 much poorer than last year and, as a 

 consequence, prices were lower. At the 

 end of the week carnations picked up 

 .wonderfully and on Memorial day the 

 stock was exceptionally fine. This, 

 however, was too late to do any ship- 

 ping and it seems a pity that the stock 

 was not as fine earlier in the week, 

 when it was needed badly. There was 

 a large supply, brought on by the un- 

 usually hot weather. There was an 

 abundance of roses, which the trade 

 was unable to handle in a satisfactory 

 - manner, although the stock was fairly 

 good throughout the week. Lilies were 

 a drug on the market and, although the 

 stock was good, large quantities had to 

 be dumped, owing to the enormous sup- 

 ply. Sweet peas, while in abundant 

 supply, showed the effects of the ex- 

 treme heat. There were some good 

 ones, however, which found a ready 

 market. Tulips were out of the market, 

 as the heavy rains and hot sun spoiled 

 the crop entirely. Iris was in fine con- 

 dition and in good supply, but met with 

 * comparatively little demand. Peonies 

 were soft, owing to the heat, and some 

 large shipments were received during 

 the week. The sale of these was large, 

 but did not come up to last year. 



Plants had their usual good sale and 

 the returns for these were satisfactory 

 in the main. Geraniums are scarce. 

 Among some of the out-of-town trade 

 the idea seems to be prevalent that they 

 can send in plant orders and have them 

 picked out, packed and shipped at an 

 hour's notice. The trade does not seem 

 to realize that it requires more time to 

 ship plants than cut flowers, as the 

 plants require better packing and are 

 usually in houses on the outskirts of the 

 city. A little more time on this class 

 of orders would insure more satisfactory 

 results. H. J. S.
