Flower Market Reports. 



Taken on the whole it is 

 BOSTON the 2;eneral conviction 

 that business is a trifle 

 better than it was one year ago. The 

 summer resort demand has undoubted- 

 1}' fallen behind but other business has 

 more than offset the loss. The ilower 

 most in evidence is the aster. It is 

 seen in particularly fine quality at 

 present. It had a bad setback at the 

 last storm but in the intervening week 

 has improved wonderfully, yet the 

 quantity offered far exceeds the call 

 and the best being only indifferent in 

 its sale, the lower gi-ades don't pay 

 expenses of picking. The same is 

 true of the cut of buds from the young 

 roses of this year's planting. There 

 are more than enough of the stock 

 from plants grown especially for sum- 

 mer trade to supply all legitimate 

 warts and the tiny fingerling., coming 

 in fi'om houses recently planted are 

 absolutely valueless. • Very lew carna- 

 tions are seen. They are all right as 

 to flower, but short stemmed. Quite a 

 few precocious chrysanthemums, white 

 and yellow are being received, and 

 they bring about twelve dollars a hun- 

 dred. 



Trade brightened up 

 BUFFALO considerably the past 



week and as stock on 

 some lines was not so plentiful, values 

 have been better. The roses were in 

 better condition and at times not 

 enough good grade could be had. Beau- 



ties are fine and have sold well, also 

 Kaiserins, Camots and Bridesmaids. 

 Carnations are taking a rest and the 

 early crop of asters is about over. The 

 Late Branching are coming in but not 

 too plentiful at this writing. Selected 

 stock has sold readily. There are 

 plenty of Japan lilies to be had and 

 they have moved well. Sweet peas 

 were poor and hardly worth the time 

 for picking. Lily of the valley has 

 had a better demand. Plenty of greens 

 are coming in. 



Stock Is so scarce that 

 CHICAGO many stands are closed 



temporarily. The field 

 carnations are beginning to come in 

 and some are quite fair as to quality, 

 though the supply is very short. As- 

 ters are still poor and only a small per- 

 centage are of good quality. Alto- 

 gether, trade has probably reached the 

 lowest mark of the season. Funeral 

 work is practically all there is and 

 there ai-e days when there are not sufli- 

 cient good flowers for that.
