Flower Market Reports. 



The most concise and 

 BOSTON near-truth report on the 



condition of the Boston 

 market at the present time -would be, 

 "There isn't any market." We are in- 

 disputably at extreme low tide, partly 

 because low tide is due about this oate 

 and partly because of the extreme tor- 

 lid weather which has sent people 

 away and shut off all disposition to 

 buy flowers and has at the same time 

 hit the flowers themselves so that very 

 few of them are worth buying. The 

 only exceptions to the prevailing ae- 

 moralization are lily of the valley, or- 

 chids and Beauty, Carnot and Kaiserin 

 roses from cold houses. Everything 

 else is unsalable. Bride, Bridesmaid 

 and Killarney roses are mildewed and 

 discolored to an extent never paral- 

 leled. Carnations, Jacq roses and in- 

 door sweet peas are as bai as they 

 can be. The latter are supplanted by 

 the outdoor crop which is ruDw begin- 

 ning to appear in fine shape and should 

 sell readily if there was any sort of a 

 demand. 



There was no scarcity 

 BUFFALO in anj- one line of cut 

 flowers the past week 

 and although weddings and gradua- 

 tions were at their height there was 

 sufficient stock to supply all who wer'i 

 in want. As several schools (includ- 

 ing high schools) were prohibited the 

 use of flowers during the commence- 

 ments it was scarcely felt by the flor- 

 ist but the matter has now been placed 

 in the hands of a good committee who 

 will, another season, look after the in- 



terests of the dealers at large. The 

 sale of Beauties and other stock was 

 better than in previous years but 

 peonies and outdoor peas coming in 

 so heavy have taken the place of roses 

 and carnations, and while sale of the 

 latter has been good it might have 

 been 100 per cent, better had the 

 severe hot weather held off until a 

 week later. Loads of everything were 

 coming in on Friday and Saturday 

 and while trade was active it could 



not absorb the quantity of material 

 received, especially peonies, peas and 

 ordinary quality roses and a portion 

 was carried over awaiting the ceme- 

 tery florists who only had to name the 

 price. With the thermometer regis- 

 tering 88 on Sunday and Monday, the 

 market is receiving quantities of 

 everything, carnations asleep, roses all 

 full blown and the buyers have prac- 

 tically their own way.
