EASTER

TRADE PRICES — Per 100 



TO DEALERS ONLY 



Trade has been decided- 

 BOSTON ly on the quiet side all 

 this week and the pros- 

 pect of some mild weather together 

 with the holiday Saturday would seem 

 to favor a still greater drop in values 

 within the next few days than has yet 

 taken place. There are plenty of roses, 

 carnations, violets, bulb stock, etc., — in 

 fact, everything in flowers and plants. 

 Quality holds good on most lines ex- 

 cept that carntions from some sources 

 run poor, there being many split and 

 otherwise imperfect blooms. Bulb 

 stock is accumulating considerably in 

 wholesalers' hands. 



Business has fallen off 

 BUFFALO considerably, though 

 there have been days 

 when it has been brisk. There is 

 suflicient stock in all lines, although 

 roses are not too abundant and this 

 has helped the carnation situation to 

 some extent. There has again been 

 an oversupply on paper whites and 

 short stem tulips, but good colored 

 La Reine, Yellow Prince and Cottage 

 Maid have had a good call. Narcissi, 

 all kinds, have been in good supply. 

 Lilies are fine, also freesia. mignonette 

 and sweet peas. Lily of the valley is 

 on the very quiet side and violets have 

 had little or no demand except on 

 Valentine's Day when a little extra 

 business was had on them. 



Last week market con- 

 CHI CAGO ditions were unchanged 

 until Friday when rose 

 stock eased up a little and carnations 

 suddenly seemed to be hardly equal to 

 the demand. There has been such a 

 continued shortage of medium and 

 short roses that even a slight increase 

 is welcome, but the chief difference is

In the long-stemmed stock. Not that 

 there is any surplus nor likely to be in 

 the near future. Carnations were de- 

 cidedly in demand Saturday and every 

 flower cleaned up. Growers say the 

 splits are nearly all cut and stock 

 from now on will be mostly of the 

 higher grades. Lilies are coming in 

 rather freely but all sell. Violets came 

 into Chicago in such quantities that 

 the price went down to anything one 

 would pay on Valentine's Day and the 

 day following. This was especially 

 true of doubles which have been poor 

 property here all the winter. Some 

 fine Princess of Wales held up to quo- 

 tations, a lot of 65,000 selling readily 

 in one house. Sweet peas, violets and 

 red roses were the three favorites for 



Valentine's Day. Tulips and other 

 bulbous stock form a very large part 

 of all the stock seen on the counters. 

 There is plenty of all kinds of green. 



The supply of good 

 CINCINNATI stock in market Is 



easily sufficient to 

 take care of all calls. It is only the 

 good stock, too, that realizes the price. 

 Seconds and inferior grades are yield- 

 ing a very low average. The call from 

 out-of-town buyers is very large. Most 

 all of the good clean Killarney, White 

 Killarney and Bride roses are selling 

 up nicely. Richmond receipts clean 

 up at sight when the stock is in good 

 condition. There is an active demand 

 for short and medium Beauties. Th«
