Very dry times in this 

 BOSTON market just uow — a 



dearth of raiu and a 

 dearth of business. There i.s but little 

 activity in any line of trading. Qual- 

 ity remains aoout tlie same as for sev- 

 eial weelis back on most staples. Kai- 

 serin is easily the best 'ose in sight 

 and it is coming in from a number of 

 sources; Killarney is small of bud and 

 weak in color. Carnations are very 

 inferior. Sweet peas are unprecedent- 

 edly abandant and theie is no pos- 

 sible outlet for a large proportion of 

 those received. Lilies have shortened 

 up in supply and nobody complains 

 thereat. 



Trade is very moderate 

 BUFFALO and there is an abun- 

 dance of about every- 

 thing in the cut flower line. Carna- 

 tions are more than over-plentiful; the 

 severe hot weather of the past two 

 weeks has not alone forced them all 

 in but most of the blooms are only half 

 size and the prices low, there being 

 no call for them. It would certainly 

 be the wholesalers' delight if there 

 could be one McKinley Day each week 

 during these times. Sweet peas are 

 being grown so extensively around this 

 section that they are hardly worth 

 while handling by the wholesaler; in 

 fact, the larger portion aie peddled di- 

 rect to retailers from the farmers' 

 wagon. Lily of the valley is forgotten 

 altogether since the weddings ceased; 

 other outdoor material such as snap- 

 dragon, candidum, lilies, daisies, as- 

 ters, etc., are prominent amongst the 

 list of daily receipts. Greens in good 

 supply. 



The condition of the 

 CHICAGO market is about as usual 



at this time of the year. 

 Good roses are very scarce and when 

 orders come in a lively move is nec- 

 essary to find the stock to fill them. 

 Beauties are in fair supply. Carna- 

 tions in general a,re poor and are con- 

 sidered out of the maiket, but J. A. 

 Endlong and Poehlmann Bros, are sell- 

 ing as fine stock as anyone could wish. 

 It is a question no one can answer, but 

 them.splves. how they can produce such 

 blooms in .July. The first asters are 

 In and of course quite small. Sweet

peas are good again and the fiist Gold- 

 en Glow chrysanthemums are here to 

 remind us that fall is just aheal. Lil- 

 ies are in good demand. The shipping 

 trade has been greatly hampered the 

 past week by the floods in the west 

 and south. The express companies 

 have been obliged to refuse consign- 

 ments of flowers because there was no 

 assurance that trains would go 

 through. .Mail that should hive 

 reached Chicago Friday morning did 

 not come until Sunday and many flor- 

 ists were obliged to disappoint their 

 customers. Kansas City was especially 

 inconvenienced, mail from theie taking 

 4.S hours to reach Chicago. 



Business has been gcod 

 DETROIT with most of us princi- 

 pally on account of the 

 numerous conventions in the city, 

 which seem this year to be more dis- 

 posed to spend money than they were 

 last year. In a. large automobile par- 

 ade, except for .large floats which 

 called for big plants of all descriptions 

 the more elaborate decorations were 

 done in artificial flowers; still there 

 were several hundred oars trimmed 

 with large bunches of flowe- s which 

 made a pretty show and lised up a 

 large quantity of outdoor material. 



For a "good old 

 PHILADELPHIA summertime" 



week, Monday, 

 July 5th to Saturday, July 10th, was a 

 fairly satisfactory proposition in the 

 wholesale cut flower trade of Philadel- 

 phia. Carnations have dropped off in 

 quality very conspicuou.sly, and the 

 asters are not yet good enough to take 

 their place satisfactorily. Most of the 

 latter arriving are under sized and 

 short stemm'ed. Maryland and Kaiser- 

 in hold the fort among the roses, al- 

 though Beauties are pretty good, and 

 Killarney fair. The best Killarneys 

 are still coming in from down east 

 points. A few white Killarneys are ar- 

 riving from local sources but they are 

 rather short stemmed so far. Water 

 lilies of the fancy varieties are scarce 

 — there is plenty of common stock from 

 the Jersey ponds. Sweet peas are not 

 very good, and supply limited — yet 

 plenty for the demand. Orchids move 

 fairly well. Irises are over except for 

 a few cold storage lots which will last 

 for a.- week or two yet. Inside gladioli 

 are nearly over and d'ependence now is 

 on the outside crop,- Pink oleanders 

 are something of a novelty among the 

 outdoor items. A charming flower, 

 chaste and delicate like a camellia or 

 gardenia, and fragrant — but not good 

 to eat. Feware!
