The Market. 



Tlie outlook for Memorial day is 

 good. The only probablo trouble will 

 be a scarcity of flowers. Carnations ap- 

 pear to have shortened up considerably, 

 although the quality is generally good. 

 The price is as high as it frequently is 

 at Christmas. While we all like to see 

 high prices, yet Christmas prices around 

 Memorial day are unusual, to say the 

 least, especially after carnations have 

 been selling around 50 cents to 75 cents 

 a dozen, retail. The retailers will not 

 be apt to force the sales too much, as 

 they want the customers to come back 

 again. The wholesale price, we under- 

 stand, will be from $50 to $80 per 

 thousand. 



Eosfs are fairly plentiful and there 

 is not likely to be a scarcity. Peonies 

 are backward, on account of the 

 weather. Locally the crop will be short, 

 but the small flowers and plants, such 

 as pansies, geraniums, heliotropes and 

 marguerites, are all plentiful. On ac- 

 count of the high prices of cut flowers 

 it is expected that large quantities of 

 plants will be used for cemetery pur- 

 poses. E. S. K.

Rochester florists always plan for a 

 good Memorial day business and seldom 

 are disappointed. The demand for 

 flowers this year bids fair to be larger 

 than ever. Growers have been holding 

 back their stock as far as possible, and 

 indications point to a good supply of 

 cut flowers and blooming plants. Prices 

 run about as last year, with American 

 Beauty roses in the lead at $25 for 

 specials, wholesale. Bride and Maid. 

 Killarney, Richmond and Maryland will 

 bring from $3 to $5 a hundred. Carna- 

 tions are quoted at from $2.50 to $5. 



Saturday, May 21, roses were retail- 

 ing for 50 cents a dozen, carnations 25 

 cents and 35 cents, and sweet peas at 

 15 cents a bunch. E. F. R. 



Atlanta, Ga.— The Atlanta Floral Co. 

 had a most effective window display re- 

 cently in honor of the Music Festival 

 and of Madame Fremstad in particular. 

 Pictures of the great Swedish singer and 

 of her birthplace, draped with Swedish 

 and American liags, Avere conspicuous in 

 the design. Madame Fremstaa visited the 

 store to view the decorations in her 

 honor.
