Flower Market Reports 



The special features o£ 

 EOSTON this market now are, the 

 decided fall in value of 

 all carnations, the unpopularity of 

 double violets, the increase in receipts 

 of tulips and other late-forcing bulb 

 material and the scarcit.v of decent 

 quality American Beauty roses. The 

 last mentioned item is a common con- 

 dition at this time of the year and, per- 

 haps, the coming years will not both- 

 er about It if the Mrs. Charles Russell 

 fulfils its bright promise. Carnations 

 have taken a great fall. They are all 

 right as to quality but they are in ex- 

 cess of the demand and the inevitable 

 result follows. For the usual run of 

 roses the supply is ample and demand 

 normal. Tulips are beginning to make 

 an impression and will soon be seen in 

 fine quality. Mann Bros, are running 

 Fred Moore as a specialty tulip and it 

 is making a good record among the ar- 

 tistic people who abhor glaring color. 

 Violets are too numerous and the 

 double ones are almost without a 

 friend. Gardenias abound and locally 

 are slow, with no market for the dis- 

 colored ones from distant sources. Or- 

 chids ditto. 



You may enter the 

 BUFFALO wholesaler's at almost 



any time of the day 

 and pick up a good lot of narcissus, 

 which is about the only thing that 

 anyone would call overplentiful. You 

 may also get what carnations you 

 want but only of the ordinary quality.

especially red Winsor and white and 

 which must be used up quickly as 

 the spring-like weather has had a 

 tendency to take the keeping quality 

 from them. There are good roses to 

 be had but not too many, possibly 

 just enough to help you out from day 

 to day. The short grades on all vari- 

 eties are scarce. Japan lilies, callas, 

 and sweet peas are coming in fine. 

 Violets continue to be plentiful. There 

 are tulips in white and yellow and a 

 fine lot of all other seasonable stock. 



The market is in a nor- 

 CHICAGO mal condition for the 



season with the excep- 

 tion of the shortage on roses which is 

 quite general. Where for so many 

 weeks carnations could not be had in 

 sufficient quantity, now the same diffi- 

 culty is experienced in the rose supply. 

 One effect of this condition is the mov- 

 ing of a good supply of tulips which 

 otherwise might go slowly, as was the 

 case last year, but the scant supply of
