CUT FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 

 (i ontinued from page 799. 1 



Trade keeps right 

 COLUMBUS along good. There 

 have been an unusual 

 number of large weddings, and this, 

 together with school closings and com- 

 mencements, etc., has kept things 

 lively. Stock of all kinds is ample; 

 roses are beginning to get small and 

 poor. Carnations are still of very good 

 quality, but in enormous supply. 

 Peonies are about gone, and they have 

 had a better run than ever before. We 

 understand that many of the growers 

 will plant very largely with the better 

 varieties this fall; there certainly is 

 an unsatisfied market here for them. 

 Green goods are coming better than 

 for some time. The seedsmen are still 

 quite busy with the end of the bedding 

 plant season, and what seasonable 

 seeds are now in demand. Everyone 

 in the craft is happy as the season 

 about to end has been most prosper- 

 ous for all. 



The demand is brisk 

 CINCINNATI and business con- 

 tinues fairly good, 

 but the supply of cut flowers has sud- 

 denly let up until it is next to im- 

 possible to get enough stock to do 

 business with. What little there is 

 shows a slight improvement in qual- 

 ity, due to the cool weather. In con- 

 sequence prices have advanced some- 

 what on everything that is saleable. 

 Lilies are about played out and will 

 be scarce for several weeks. The 

 only thing you can make sure of get- 

 ting is roses, carnations and lily of 

 the valley. We have been favored 

 with frequent rains this spring, and 

 the out-door supply of summer flow- 

 ers gives promise of a good crop. 



The conditions of 

 LOUISVILLE business the previ- 

 ous week averaged 

 fair. Carnations and roses have been 

 satisfactory in quality and demand. 

 Lilies and sweet peas are abundant 

 and move readily. There is little call 

 for lily of the valley. Other stock 

 is in good supply and finds a steady 

 demand. 



Business is rapidly 

 NEW YORK whittling down to sum- 

 mer desuetude. Most 

 of the stock coming in is very poor and 

 the beginning of the end of the heavy 

 avalanche is in sight. Receipts are 

 fallina i If rapidly. Peonies are about 

 finished. Prices rule low on every- 

 thing except a few lines of very fancy 

 grade material. 



There was some 

 PHILADELPHIA improvement in 

 the volume of 

 business the past week and present 

 conditions are as good as can be ex- 

 pected. The congested condition of 

 the carnation market was greatly 

 abated. Beauties and Libertys were 

 in good demand, but only fair as to 

 quality. Lily of the valley was in 

 good demand and on the scarce side. 

 Plenty of cattleyas, demand liberal 

 and steady. Sweet peas fair as to 

 quality and find ready sale. Cold 

 storage peony supply is good for some 

 weeks yet. Lilies, white iris, lupins. 

 swainsoca and cornflowers are plenti- 

 ful. Greens in good supply and steady.
