Flower Market Reports. 



There is a good demand 

 BOSTON for certain lines of flow- 

 ers this week and buyers 

 will take nothing else. The fa- 

 vored items are American Beauty, 

 Richmond and Carnot roses, or- 

 chids and lily of the valley. Out- 

 side of these the traveling . is very 

 hard, especially for peonies, stocks, 

 candytuft and sweet peas, all of which 

 are a drug and many of which are un- 

 salable. Add also carnations to the 

 list of "under dogs." Of these there 

 are no first quality flowers coming in 

 and some of them are so loaded with 

 red spider and other creatures that it 

 is almost a qtiestion as to which — car- 

 nations or bugs — is the chief article 

 of merchandise and which is the "by- 

 product" of the growers' labors. 



The situation in the 

 BUFFALO flower market has im- 

 proved considerably for 

 the past two weeks. Only certain 

 lines of stock are in demand and only 

 the best of it can be use-i, and the 

 balance drags along from day to day 

 making the wholesaler feel uneasy 

 most of the time. Owing to the warm 

 weather roses and carnations are de- 

 creasing in size. Beauties are of only 

 fair quality, Richmonds good, Kaiser- 

 ins, Carnots, La Detioits are of exc?l- 

 lent quality but not any too plentiful, 

 while ordinary Bridesmaids and Brides 

 of poor, mildewed quality, are over- 

 plentiful. The outdoor material has 

 come on abundantly and has had a 

 fair demand at moderate price. Swf et 

 peas and lilies of the valley have had 



the call. While the outdoor peas are 

 not of the best as yet, the indoor have 

 brought good value and clean sales 

 daily. Weddings, graduations and 

 other social gaieties aie in order for 

 the balance of the month and should 

 the severe warm weather hold off for 

 a while it may give the wholesaler a 

 chance to send out satisfactory re- 

 turns. Greens of all kinds including 

 new fancy ferns are to be had in 

 quantity. 



Business above the 

 WASHINGTON average here. There 



have been an un- 

 usual number of June weddings, like- 

 wise of funerals. Pond lilies are un- 

 usually tine and plentiful. Carnations 

 have kept much above the average ia 

 quality, due to the absence of hot 

 weather. Out-door sweet peas ar& 

 practically ruined by the rain and 

 there is a gi-eat scarcity of same. 

 Green not any too plentiful.
