FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 



{Contiriiied frcm /'■tgf iq) 



Considering the hot 

 CHICAGO weather trade is regard- 

 ed as normal by those 

 florists having a lai ge shipping trade. 

 To those who depend upon the local 

 outlet for their flowers conditions are 

 quite different. In fact, for them busi- 

 ness is at a standstill. There is so lit- 

 tle demand for stock and the market 

 Is so heaped with all kinds of material, 

 good, bad, and indifferent, that any 

 price is accepted when a customer 

 really wants to buy. Xn unusual 

 amount of rain has fallen during the 

 latter half of June and the tempera- 

 ture has averaged high, a condition 

 that has not improved the quality of 

 the stock. Many growers are throw- 

 ing out their rose plants, reducing sup- 

 ply. Good Kaiserin roses are especial- 

 ly scarce. Beauties are in heavy crop 

 but the sales are slow. For the most 

 part Killarney is the mainstay in the 

 rose line and it is holding up well. 

 Florists begin to wonder how they got 

 along before this rose made its ap-

pearance. Carnations are selling at a 

 price that does not pay for the labor 

 of picking and marketing, if indeed 

 they sell at all. Peonies are still flood- 

 ing the market, but no price can be 

 said to be established. They have 

 had a long run and on the whole a 

 prosperous one. Here, as with the 

 carnation, it looks very much to many 

 as if we had reache^l a stage of over- 

 production though the building . ot 

 more greenhouses and the planting of 

 more peony beds goes merrily on. Lily 

 of the valley seems to be the one flow- 

 er for which there is a steady deraan.l. 

 It is having a rival this year in the 

 orchid as a wedding flower. Indorr 

 peas are being replaced by outdoor 

 stock. A light frost June 18 killed 

 tomatoes and corn near Chicago. 



The stillness of sum- 

 NEW YORK mer has descended on 



this market with a 

 thoroughness and positiveness that is 

 unmistakable. It has taken place more 

 suddenly and earlier than usual and 

 nobody expects to see any material 

 change in conditions tor many weeks 

 to come. The variety and quantity of 



material coming in is rapidly tailing 

 oft', but not comparably to the deterio- 

 ration in quantity which is seen on all 

 sides. Of most flowers good stock is 

 hardly to be found. Lougiflorum lilies 

 are an exception and are equal to the 

 best ever offered at any season of the 

 year, but they are hopelessly over- 

 loaded — probably five times what the 

 market can ixissibly absorb and a 

 heavy loss to the growers seems in- 

 evitable. The New York market is 

 wonderfully elastic when it comes to 

 roses, carnations, peas or violets and 

 the limit of its capacity for these 

 things at some sort of price is rarely 

 reached. On the other hand the lily 

 is. and probably always will be, in a 

 different class and over-stocking is 

 likely to mean absolute loss. Peonies 

 from cold storage are of excellent 

 quality, but the outlet for them is 

 about finished. The first asters of the 

 season have appeared— good quality, 

 too. Pond lilies— the coolest, most se- 

 ductive material in the whole line — 

 just now form a very general and ap- 

 propriate adornment of the florists' 

 windows.
