This market is very 

 BOSTON quiet, considering ttie 



season. Ttie activity 

 expected to follovs' an early Easter 

 seems to be lacking, for some unex- 

 plained reason. Tiie rose market is 

 not at all strong but carnations are 

 doing fairly well, as are also sweet 

 peas, of which there are many grades. 

 Cattleyas are selling quite well but 

 gardenias are down at the bottom of 

 the ladder. There are still a few vio- 

 lets left but they are not in demand. 

 Lilies and callas are too plentiful. 

 Tulips are doing all right but daffo- 

 dils move slowly. Spanish iris is 

 Tery popular. 



The railway strike 

 BUFFALO which was on from 



Monday till Satuiday, 

 certainly put a damper on bi :s ness 

 the past week. There was practically 

 nothing doing until Saturday and the 

 wholesaler had a heavy load to carry, 

 especially carnations and roses. Other 

 stock was plentiful with little or no 

 demand. The situation was bad, 

 though at this writing the market has 

 taken on new life. While the receipts 

 are still heavy, the buying is quite 

 brisk, and it is hoped for a continu- 

 ance of the latter. 



A decided change has 

 CHICAGO come over the market. 



The early part of the 

 second week in April was like the pre-

ceding one, inasmuch as there were 

 more flowers than could be sold even 

 at a low price, but on Friday stock 

 suddenly became scarcer and buyers 

 more plentiful. Saturday stock cleaned 

 up for the first time in many days. 

 TTae express companies, though not 

 assuming any responsibility in the 

 safe arrival of flowers bound for points 

 east or south, are daily impioving 

 their facilities for caring for the ship- 

 ments through the flooded district. 



Prices have advanced along all lines 

 since shipping began again and carna- 

 tions were among the first to feel the 

 change. Roses are shortening up and 

 the warm weather of two weeks ago 

 has reduced the cut considerably. 

 Sweet peas are very much in demand. 

 A few good violets are coming from 

 the east and some home-grown ones 

 also. Prices are low on violets. Beau- 

 ties are not at all plentiful. Snap-
