Flower Market Reports 



All roses are in de- 

 BALTIMORE mand, with a good 

 supply excepting 

 American Beauties, which are still 

 scarce. Carnations meet with a good 

 demand and what are to be seen are 

 of excellent quality. Jonquils and tu- 

 lips are selling very rapidly and there 

 is a good call lor orchids. Single and 

 double violets move slowly and this 

 holds true with sweet peas also, but 

 the red varieties should be in demand 

 for St. Valentine's Day. 



Notwithstanding 1 h e 



BOSTON clear, sunny, wintry 

 weather enjoyed since 

 the .grcund hog did his annual stunt 

 the quality of carnations and some va- 

 rieties of roses seems to have taken 

 a downward step and the market shows 

 a certain proportion of low grade ma- 

 terial. Since Ash Wednesday history 

 has been repeating itself and business 

 has eased up quite noticeably and 

 prices have followed the downward 

 route; yet there is not much to com- 

 plain about and the trade from outside 

 points is sutflciently active to indicate 

 that the Lenten season will be far from 

 barren. Tulips vary as to qual- 

 ity, many being but rags and of no 

 value to anybody. Yellow narcissi are 

 plentiful and good— worth more, real- 

 ly, than the prices prevailing. Beauty 

 roses are imperfect, as a rule, no mat- 

 ter what grade they may perform in 

 as to length of stem, etc. In fact, all 

 roses are a little off in quality. Vio- 

 lets are still in the dumps. 



The market has been 



CHICAGO practically in the same 

 condition for the past 

 month, a steady supply meeting a 

 steady demand with medium roses as 

 the stock shortest in supply. Long 

 roses sell well, but there is no short- 

 age and, therefore, no ditficulty to fill 

 orders of any size. With short and 

 medium grades there is a general

cleaning up each morning, causing a 

 running about after stock to fill later 

 orders. Beauties are only fair in qual- 

 ity and there are few really first-class 

 ones offered. Lilies are moving well 

 and there are many of them on the 

 counters. AH kinds of bulbous stock 

 are offered in quantity, and all kinds 

 are moving to good advantage. Paper 

 whites are dropping off a little in sup- 

 ply, while tulips and narcissus are 

 more abundant. Corone d'Or are seen 

 now and bring the top price on tulips 

 — five cents. Something seems to be 

 the matter with the violet market this 

 year. Doubles are losing out as favor- 

 ites and singles go slower than in for- 

 mer years. Sweet peas, on the con- 

 trary, are more popular than ever. 



Last week gave u& 

 CINCINNATI tbe first bit of real 



winter this year. The 

 receipts of sto^-k, however, did not di- 

 minish but on the contrary seems to 



increase, "ooth In quantity and quality, 

 for old Sol was on the job almost con- 

 tinuously. The average business is 

 only fair for the prices are very 

 moderate. Judging from the way 

 the retailers talk, both local ones 

 and from out-of-lown, this year's St. 

 Valentine day will prove a good one. 

 Theie are very heavy supplies of vio- 

 lets, both double and single. Both are 

 very good. Sweet peas are in a larger 

 supply than at any other time this 

 year and are selling nicely. Lily of 

 the valley offerings are excellent iu 

 quality and large in quantity. For the 

 past week, however, the demand for 

 this last has been only ordinary. Or- 

 chids, and fine ones, too, are coming 

 in regularly. Richmond roses are in a 

 better supply than a fortnight ago and 

 I hey and Red Carnations will undoubt- 

 edly clean up easily. The rose cut is 

 about normal. While the demand gen-
