heuses will get a run of telegrams while 



others are idle, bo that it is difficult to 

 make any specific statement with re- 

 gard to market conditions which will 

 fit all cases. One point, however, on 

 which practically aU the wholesalers 

 are agreed is that the local demand is 

 light and that the retailers are unwill- 

 ing to buy except from hand to mouth; 

 they do not care to put in stock in 

 anticipation of possible sales, feeling 

 sure that anything needed can be had 

 at short notice. 



Weather conditions have served to 

 reduce the supply a little on some items 

 since last report, but the reduction has 

 not been sufficient to cause any appre- 

 ciable effect except perhaps on carna- 

 tions, which are bringing better money 

 than heretofore this season. Carna- 

 tions were exceptionally early this year, 

 and many of them exceptionally good, 

 but they sold at exceptionally low 



f trices so long as the outdoor flowers 

 asted. Now that the asters are gone 

 there has been an increase in the calls 

 for carnations which, within the last 

 week, has served to stiffen prices, 

 though it is doubtful if they are yet up 

 to the prices of this ■ date last year. 

 The supply still is fully equal to the 

 demand. 



There has been a relapse in the 

 Beauty market. Last week the cut was 

 on the down grade and prices were 

 hardening. But there came a quick 

 turn in the other direction, cuts in- 

 creasing and prices doing well to hold 

 their own. Soses are by some said to 

 be less abundant than they were, due 

 to a few dark days more than to any 

 passing of crops, so that an increase 

 IS likely on short notice. The quality 

 of the roses continues fine. Short stock 

 still is selling cheaply in thousand 

 lots, but the grower who wants roses 

 with 3-foot stems can be accommo- 

 dated, and at prices that are low for 

 such fine flowers. 



Chrysanthemums are coming in more 

 heavily. Golden Glow and October 

 Frost still predominate, but Crocus, a 

 splendid yellow, and Monrovia, the old 

 standby early yellow, now are seen. 

 Virginia Poehlmann, a fine white, and 

 Touset are arriving, with a few pinks. 

 The pinks have commanded some extra 

 money when good, but in general the 

 prices of chrysanthemums are low. 

 There will be no scarcity during the 

 next two months. 



Cattleyas are fairly abundant but are 

 being held at better prices, as the lo- 

 cally-grown stock now coming in Is of 

 superlative quality,- Gardenias are 

 scarce and bringing excellent prices. 

 Violets are not nearly so plentiful as at 

 this time last year. There are all 

 grades, single and double, but the de- 

 mand even for the best is not strong. 

 Sweet peas from under glass are begin- 

 ning to appear. Valley is abundant, 

 but the call is so erratic that it is diffi- 

 cult to handle. Easter lilies, while still 

 plentiful, are bringing a little better 

 prices, A few asters and gladioli still 

 come in, but there is little sale for 

 them. Dahlias are doing fairly well, 

 but are not an important item. There 

 is some antirrhinum, but the quality 

 does not appeal to the buyers. Daisies 

 are more than plentiful. 



There is an abundance of everything 

 in the green goods line. Wild smilax 

 is now regularly in stock and new 

 boxwood of fine quality is arriving. 

 Bronze galax is not so scarce as was 

 predicted earlier in the season.
