Flower Market Reports 



Business lias been ex- 

 BOSTON ceptionally gooti and re- 

 mained firm tliroughout 

 the entire week. The city has been 

 in the throes of an epidemic of grippe 

 wliich has caused many deaths and in 

 consequence many funeral orders. 

 Roses are plentiful and good in the 

 many varieties. Carnations are im- 

 proving both in quality and volume but 

 as yet have not made much of an im- 

 pression on the market. Lilies have 

 not been plentiful but the demand has 

 . readily taken care of the supply. 

 Asters and gladioli are gradually fad- 

 ing away while what dahlias are seen 

 are of a poor quality due mainly to 

 weather conditions. Chrysanthemums 

 are increasing both in supply and de- 

 mand and show up well. 



Fall business is open- 

 CINCINNATI ing up nicely. Dur- 

 ing the past fornight 

 there has been an active demand and 

 it has kept the market cleahed up of 

 practically all good stock. Prices are 

 good and the out o-f town demand is 

 large. Roses are in better than usual 

 supply and besides are much better 

 than they were up to a fortnight ago. 

 Carnation are fairly plentiful and 

 prove a big factor in the week's bus- 

 iness. Asters are a big item at this 

 time, the supply is very large and 

 meets with a good demand. Some 

 gladioli may be had. The few chrys- 

 anthemums that come in generally 

 find a fair market. Dahlias and cos- 

 mos are fairly plentiful. 



• Business is brisk 

 CLEVELAND and the market 

 cleans up nicely 

 every day. Some choice late asters 

 are being offered but the main crop 

 is over. As yet no chrysanthemums 

 have been received. Lilies are scarce, 

 so are tritomas, larkspurs and other 

 good garden flowers. Lily of the val- 

 ley is weak in supply but is adequate 

 to meet the demand. Roses are get- 

 ting more plentiful and the quality is 

 also much improved. Shipping trade 

 is normally good. Trained store help 

 is scarce and is going to be soon more 

 difficult to obtain. 



We have the 

 PHILADELPHIA pleasure to re- 

 port that busi- 

 ness improved a little last week. 

 While nothing extra, there was really 

 a little more "pep" to it. Dahlias 

 are the feature now and some very 

 fine flowers are coming in — although 

 from all accounts the quantity is 

 smaller than usual. Among the good

ones to be seen now are Attraction, 

 Jack Rose, Sylvia, Juliet, Delice and 

 Yellow Duke, all of which show up 

 extra well. The cattleya market has 

 recovered from its long sleep, and 

 there are some fine labiatas to be 

 seen at present which are bringing 

 very good prices. 



The market 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. during the 

 past week 

 has been somewhat brighter. A 

 heavy frost with ice was recorded this 

 week and stock is not so plentiful. 

 Asters are quite plentiful and move 

 well but a large quantity of very poor 



stock is seen which is cleared at low 

 prices. Gladioli are becoming poorer. 

 The demand remains satisfactory. 

 Roses are in good demand. Garden- 

 flowers are seen but they are getting 

 very inferior except a few good- 

 dahlias, which sell well. Lilies are in 

 fair demand. 



This market has shown 

 ST. LOUIS some slight improve- 

 ment. Roses are im- 

 proving daily. Carnations are slowly 

 coming but quality is poor. Some good 

 red dahlias are seen also a few yellow 

 and chrysanthemums but the season 

 for these has not yet opened up.
