      abstract = {Growers of flowers within 50 miles of three terminal  wholesale flower markets--Philadelphia, Baltimore, and  Washington, D.C.--expanded production from 1966 to 1971,  but not as fast as the national market expanded.   Information about market organization and practices during  1966-71 and about expectations for 1975 was gathered from  interviews with 105 growers in the three areas in 1972.   Market competition has led to increased production of  bedding plants and other ornamentals relative to major cut  flower production.  Economic pressures have not made and  are not expected to make any radical change in the growers'  marketing practices before 1975.  Nevertheless, the trend  toward fewer and larger firms, corporate organization, less  consignment in marketing, and more direct sales to  retailers will continue, according to the majority of  growers.},
