Flower Market Reports 



Business here took a 

 BOSTON quiet turn directly after 

 Easter and stiU continues 

 to be very unsatisfactory and uncer- 

 tain as to outlook. Prices liave gone 

 down on everything, but this does not 

 seem to accelerate the movement of 

 the stock with which the markets are 

 burdened. Shipping trade has been 

 hampered by wash-outs on railroads 

 and wrecked bridges and thus the out- 

 lets which usually help the Boston 

 market are unavailable. The activity 

 usually experienced for the season fol- 

 lowing an early Easter appears to be 

 missing this year, but it may mate- 

 rialize yet. We have a suspicion that 

 the automobile is largely responsible 

 for this. Time will tell. 



Easter Monday, opened 

 BUFFALO up with a drizzling rain 

 which continued until 

 Thursday when a snow storm set in. 

 There was little or no business the 

 early part of the week and the receipts 

 were heavy on carnation, roses, peas, 

 lilies, and everything along the line 

 and a good portion was carried along 

 until Saturday. Speculating was light 

 and stock accumulated heavy. Bar- 

 gain signs were displayed by the mer- 

 chants, but this had little effect. This 

 week, trade is on the upward course, 

 and the outlook is better. Wm. P. 

 Keating Co., reports a good Easter 

 shipping trade in violets, lily of the 

 valley and roses. The sale of carna- 

 tions was a little disappointing, the 

 demand lighter than usual. Bulbous 

 stock went exceptionally well this year.

Business has been very 

 CHICAGO quiet since Easter. The 



floods of the South and 

 East have greatly crippled the ship- 

 ping trade and will continue to do so 

 for another week. Local trade has 

 been about up to the average, but 

 there is more stock than is needed 

 and prices weakened considerably. 

 Carnations felt the situation rather 

 more than roses and any quantity can 

 be had now. American Beauties are 

 getting more plentiful, but that favor- 

 ite flower is still in short supply. All 

 kinds of roses are to be had in quan- 



tity and the supply of bulb stock, 

 sweet peas and violets seems to be 

 more than equal to all possible de- 

 mand. In brief, there is more stock 

 this week than the market is using 

 to good advantage. 



Ever since Easter 

 CINCINNATI time the market has 



been more or less 

 upset owing 'to lateness of trains or — 

 as it is in some instances — the trains 

 failed to arrive at all. Before mid- 

 night Monday night all train service 

 north and west was stopped. About
