Flower Market Reports W HOLESALE FLOWER MA RKETS 



Again we have to re- 

 BOSTON port the gratifying fact 



of a record-breaking Me- 

 morial Day for the florist trade of Bos- 

 ton and. in fact, entire New England. 

 Cool, rainy weather has kept the sup- 

 ply down to a reasonable limit and the 

 slump which otherwise might have 

 developed into a stampede on the last 

 {■ay before the holiday has been es- 

 caped. There is an alDundance of all 

 kinds of material but not an unwieldy 

 surplus and one good result of 

 weather conditions is the high quality 

 of everything offered. Carnations are 

 the sole item which realized any en- 

 hanced value in the wholesale market 

 and these maintained their lead very 

 well until the close. Red varieties had 

 the call and, being in short supply, 

 they brought prices far beyond that 

 realized for white. American Beauty 

 roses fell by the wayside with a sur- 

 prisingly light appreciation even for 

 The medium grades. Astilbe, candytuft 

 and stocks were too abundant. A few 

 peonies from Pennsylvania sold well. 



Trade has continued 

 BUFFALO fairly good the past ten 



days. The greenhouse 

 men and cemetery florists are hustling 

 to get out their work for Memorial 

 Day. but aside from this they have a 

 good cemetery cut-flower business on 

 Saturdays, The wholesaler still at 

 this writing has to contend with con- 

 siderable as the express companies' 

 strike has not been settled. Ship- 

 ments are now coming through from 

 the East and other points, and all 

 freight has to be sent for and out-

going freight delivered to depot. Car- 

 nations have not been over-plentiful, 

 but all other indoor and outdoor crops 

 are in heavy supply. The outlook for 

 Memorial Day looks promising, but a 

 shortage in the carnation line is antici- 

 pated. 



Peonies have reached 

 CHICAGO the point where they fig- 

 ure very largely in the 

 market conditions. Quantities are 

 coming up from the South and their 

 condition after being in cold storage, 

 even a short time, is hardly good 

 enough to warrant shipping out again, 

 and most are sold locally. The Illinois 

 peonies are also coming now and the 



quality, so far, seems to be all that 

 could be desired and they are in great 

 demand for shipping trade. To all ap- 

 pearances. Memorial Day possibilities 

 will be limited only by the quantity 

 of stock, which at this writing seems 

 inadequate in all lines. None but the 

 florists know how stock springs up 

 from all sides when a big holiday 

 comes, and the shortage had seemed 

 a reality, and this year may be no ex- 

 ception, but the cold rainy weather 

 and local demand has kept any from 

 accumulation till it seems impossible 

 to see' enough stock to till late orders.'
