Flower Market Reports 



A fair market, all things 

 BOSTON considered, is the general 



verdict here this week. 

 White carnations are apparently a 

 short commodity, but how many of 

 them are in storage for the approach- 

 ing "Mothers' Day" nobody knows. 

 Everything else on the list is either 

 in full supply or overstock. Roses 

 are very good in quality, but are a bit 

 slow to move and Beauties are in- 

 clined to accumulate. Lilies are very 

 draggy and so is lily of the valley 

 since the outdoor crop began to ar- 

 rive. Fortunately, the demand is good, 

 otherwise it would not take long to 

 overload the craft and swamp things 

 on all sides. 



With a week of summer- 

 BUFFALO like weather the market 

 has taken a change for 

 the better. The supply has been 

 lighter, mostly on carnations, which 

 really were on the short side for a 

 few days and prices have advanced a 

 notch. There are plenty of roses, 

 among which the Killarney snows the 

 summer effect. Marylands are good, 

 also Kaiserin, Carnot and Richmond, 

 the latter having a good call. Wed- 

 dings are slightly noticeable and 

 choice white flowers have sold well. 

 Sweet peas continue good and have 

 taken well. There is plenty of greens, 

 except possibly smilax. 



A few very warm days 

 CHICAGO has increased the sup- 

 ply of flowers and low- 

 ered its general quality causing the 

 counters to fill up rapidly and prices to

lower. Sweet peas accumulated rap- 

 idly, the demand not being equal to 

 the supply and only the timely arrival 

 of some very large orders saved the 

 market from a glut. Carnations also 

 are coming in fast, and it is fortunate 

 that a special demand, in the form of 

 Mother's Day, is at hand to move the 

 stock to advantage. Some wholesalers 

 say they have had all the orders for 

 white carnations booked for a week, 

 that they can take care of, and that the 

 trade for that day seems on the in- 

 crease. All kinds of roses are in good 

 supply and the quality generally is con- 



sidered fair. American Beauties are 

 more in excess of the demand than at 

 any previous time since last summer, 

 but the stock contains many that are 

 of poor grade. Lilacs from the South 

 and the home-grown ones are coming 

 together this year with the result that 

 sales are slow. An unusual amount 

 of snapdragons of a superior quality 

 are much in evidence and price has to 

 be cut to move them. Lily of the val- 

 ley is offered in three grades, the best 

 selling first. Peonies are expected by 

 the 10th.
