Flower Market Reports WHOLBSALE FLOWER MARKETS 



This market has been 

 BOSTON very quiet for the past 

 few days and, with a 

 heavy influx on all lines, prices have 

 been battered down severely. Carna- 

 tions are particularly in the doldrums 

 and sweet peas are a surfeit every- 

 where. On nothing is there any 

 stringency — even the cattleyas, lily of 

 the valley and gardenias which are 

 apt to strike a bit of scarcity in this 

 period of weddings and other joyous 

 affairs being on tap in quantities be- 

 yond any call. Of violets there are 

 very few; this week will probably fin- 

 ish them. Among the more recent ac- 

 quisitions to the regular stock are the 

 Spanish irises, baby gladioli and ane- 

 mones. These bring a fair price as 

 do also the antirrhinums in the popu- 

 lar shades. Smilax is scarce as usual 

 in the month of April. 



Warm weather has 

 BUFFALO brought on the stock a 

 ■• little too fast and busi- 

 ness has not been as good as might 

 be expected at this season of the year. 

 Since the violet season is over sweet 

 peas have been in good demand and at 

 times a shortage has existed. On no 

 other line has there heen any scarcity. 

 There are plenty of roses, carnations, 

 snapdragon, lily of the valley, mig- 

 nonette, lilies and considerable bulbous 

 stock, indoor grown. There is no out- 

 door material except a few daffodils. 

 Weddings are slightly noticeable and 

 white roses have taken a little better. 

 Beauties are plentiful hut the quality 

 is not of the best. It is a puzzling

problem to the wholesaler how to un- 

 load the surplus at the end of the 



week. 



To use the vernacu- 

 CINCINNATI lar of the day, the 



business last week 

 and the first part of this week was 

 the "worst ever." A large supply 

 f ombined with a rather less than or- 

 dinary demand was not enough. The 

 sun had to come out with almost such 

 a mid-summer fury that shirt waists 

 on the street was the rule for the 

 fairer sex, while many of the men 

 wished rather for soft collars and 



flannels rather than their business 

 dress. The next result was a very 

 large supply with just an ordinary de- 

 mand. The florists are also having 

 considerable competition from the 

 bulbous stock in private gardens and 

 lilacs and the like. Prices are at ab- 

 solutely the lowest point this season. 

 The leaders among the roses are Kil- 

 larney and Taft. As the weather has 

 grown brighter and warmer the latter 

 has come forward splendidly. The 

 carnation supply is larger than a fort- 

 night ago, white predominating in
