Flower Market Reports WHOLBS ALE FLOWER MARKETS — 



This market has been 

 BOSTON good for the past few 



days, a great and steady 

 improvement in demand being supp'e- 

 mented by a noticeable decrease in 

 quantity of stock coming in. Carna- 

 tions are going at a lively pace and 

 there are scarcely enough to supply 

 the call, especially for white. In roses 

 the white varieties are also the most 

 active, although the crop is slacken- 

 ing on all sorts and the effect is 

 healthy. The lower grades are really 

 scarce as compared with the demand. 

 American Beauty of all the best 

 grades is experiencing a big demand. 

 In all lines of staple flowers a big ad- 

 vance over last week is in evidence. 

 Sweet peas are going well as are also 

 daffodils, but tulips are poor and they 

 have seen their best for this year. 

 Violets about finished. Gardenias and 

 orchids getting scarce and there is an 

 insistent call for cattleyas which can- 

 not always be gratified. Lilies and 

 callas normal in supply and demand. 

 Lily of the valley is one of the most 

 desirable items on the whole list at 

 present. 



The market was in 

 BUFFALO much better condition 

 the past week and it 

 looked as if new life had taken ef- 

 fect, the receipts being much lighter 

 and the buying was more brisk. Car- 

 nations were in good supply, as were

roses and other stock. Higli prices 

 were out of the question but the mar- 

 ket was in good condition tliroughout 

 the weelc. There is still a good lot of 

 Victoria daffodils, jonquils, Vonsions, 

 tulips, etc., coming in and they have 

 had a fair sale. Callas and lilies have 

 been plentiful. There is a good quan- 

 tity of sweet peas. Violets are about 

 to an end and lily of the valley has 

 taken well. 



Chicago market can be 

 CHICAGO regarded as about nor- 

 mal at this writing, 

 April 22, the demand being a little 

 slow as compared to that of a week 

 ago, when all kinds of stock moved 

 along, bringing fair returns and little 

 or none went to waste. Roses are 

 coming in quite freely and first-class 

 stock brings good prices. Carnations
