NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The worst snow storm since 1888, de- 

 layed trains, cut flower shipments hours 

 behind schedule, a foot of snow on the 

 level and huge drifts all over the city 

 sums up the situation that confronted 

 the wholesale section Saturday morn- 

 ing, February 14. The market had held 

 firm all the week. The best retail stores 

 were all busy and a splendid clean-up 

 Saturday was everywhere anticipated. 

 Then the snow storm stepped in and 

 brought disappointment. Prices, how- 

 ever, remained steady and a good busi- 

 ness seems assured from now until 

 Easter. Zero weather came after the 

 storm; Sunday was distressingly cold 

 and locomotion difficult. 



Warmer temperature is promised by 

 the weather man for the present week 

 and normal conditions will again pre- 

 vail. There will be no shortage in roses 

 or anything else from this date. Ameri- 

 can Beauties have maintained apprecia- 

 tive levels all the year to date. The 

 best were selling at 60 cents each Sat- 

 urday. The shipments delayed by the 

 storm accounted for the good range of 

 prices for everything but bulbous stock 

 as the week closed. There is no change 

 in the rose quotations from last week's 

 record, but from now on daily increase 

 in shipments of all varieties may be 

 depended on. The specialties and nov- 

 elties in carnations have brought excel- 

 lent prices, but the older kinds havp 

 dragged somewhat and the tendency is 

 downward. 



Valley has been hard to move and the 

 market seems oversupplied. It needed 

 an exceptional grade of stock to com- 

 mand over $2 per hundred. There 

 seems to be a sufficiency of longiflorum 

 lilies. Gardenias are abundant and only 

 the selected stock goes over $2 per 

 dozen. Orchids of all kinds are in 

 great supply and values are at a low 

 ebb, with no advancein sight. Violets 

 have not risen in price or popularity. 

 The low rates of last week prevail. 



There is a superabundance of bulbous 

 stock of all kinds, especially daflfodils, 

 and shipments from the south are not 

 far away. Six bunches for $1 was the 

 offer at many of the wholesale houses 

 Saturday. Freesias, too, are accumu- 

 lating and there is much short-stemmed 

 stock. Tulips are the same, with only 

 the selected in demand. Lilac is in- 

 creasing. Acacia has dropped to $2.50 

 a bunch. There is a great sufficiency 

 of narcissi, myosotis and mignonette.
