Samuel S. Pennock was pleased with 

 the Cleveland carnation meeting, where 

 quality stood high. Mr. Pennock spoke 

 of the excellent keeping of Pink Delight 

 from the New England state where this 

 variety is particularly well grown.

The Market. 



There was little change in the whole- 

 sale cut flower market during the week 

 ending the month of January. Light 

 shipments, no increase in local demand, 

 and about the same level of values as 

 prevailed for two preceding weeks about 

 sums up the situation. A heavy rain- 

 fall spoiled the Saturday trade. This 

 has been followed by colder weather, 

 and a good February business is antici- 

 pated. 



American Beauties still lead the rose 

 procession, the best of them advancing 

 last week to $75 per hundred. This top 

 was for the selected stock. Then came 

 Russell, Shawyer, Mock and Sunburst, 

 with Ward, Milady and Killarney 

 Queen not far behind. The No. 1 and 

 No. 2 Maids, Brides and Killarneys are 

 absorbed quickly at good prices. Any 

 boom in the retail department of the 

 business would lift prices instantly, as 

 supply and demand at present are about 

 even. Larger arrivals of all varieties of 

 roses are promised within the next few 

 days. 



Carnations have been steady during 

 the last week and the stock now arriv- 

 ing is superb in quality. McKinley day, 

 while it created a little extra demand, 

 had less effect than had been expected.

Valley is abundant and lower. Lilies 

 also have receded slightly from the ex- 

 cellent average of the last few weeks, 

 and still show a downward tendency. 

 There is no diminution in the volume of 

 gardenias now arriving and prices are 

 low. Orchids, too, are overabundant 

 and prices show no tendency to rise, the 

 best of them being quoted at $35 per 

 hundred. The supply of freesias, nar- 

 cissi, daffodils and daisies is sufficient 

 for any possible demand, and of excel- 

 lent quality. Forget-me-not, mignonette 

 and wallflowers also are abundant. 

 Lilac and acacia are the aristocrats of 

 the market. Larger shipments and lower 

 prices express the violet conditions. 

 There seems to be no increase in de- 

 mand, even the singles moving slowly. 

 The auto show, banquets, graduations 

 and weddings should combine to make 

 the present the best week of the year 

 to date. It is high time for a "bull 

 market" in the florists' business.
