Flower Market Reports. 



The severe weather re- 

 BOSTON ported from vai'ious 



places west and south 

 did not touch Boston, and receipts o£ 

 flowers at the wholesale marts have 

 been very heavy all through this week. 

 Prices have taken a decided drop on 

 many items and the market tables are 

 heavily weighted with carnaiions, 

 roses and other material which has 

 been coming in faster than it can be 

 disposed of. Carnations of all vari- 

 eties are in superfluity and are bring- 

 ing reluctantly less than one-halt of 

 the prices prevailing a week ago. 

 Roses are gaining in quality as well as 

 in quantity right along. Chrysanthe- 

 mums ditto. 



Fall weddings having 

 BUFFALO been numerous the past 

 two weeks and a heavy 

 demand having been had for Bride 

 roses, lily of the valley, etc., trade has 

 been very good. There have besn excel- 

 lent gladioli and asters. Carnations are 

 rather short in supply, especially long- 

 stemmed white and Enchantress, both 

 of which find ready sales. Beauty, 

 Killarney, My Maryland, Kaiserin and 

 Garnet are in fair supply and sell rap- 

 idly. Dahlias and cosmos are also in 

 good supply, but lilies are on the 

 scarce line. Chrjsanthcmums have 

 come upon us and some good Glory 

 Pacific, October Frost, Polly Rose, 

 Kalb, Bergmann and Monrovia are to 

 be seen daily. Plenty of greens. 



The state of the, Chicago 

 CHICAGO market changed rapidly 



with the change in tem- 

 perature the past week. Everyone 

 agrees that October opened with a 

 fairly good trade, in fact, better than 



that month usually brings. The early 

 frosts had. done little damage and the 

 air was just cool enough to stimulate 

 trade and flowers had a good chance 

 lo keep out of the waste barrel. In- 

 deed, good stock was very scarce. 

 Then came summer heat back again, 

 hurrying on the roses the supply of 

 which was more than the demand 

 could take care of and by the end of 

 the week trade in some cases was 

 quite demo.alized. Some of the houses 

 have more clirysanthemums than they 

 can move and prices have dropped ac- 

 fordingly. Rosierre is now in for the 

 llrst and Bergmann is dividing honors 

 with October Frost in white. Monrovia 

 and Golden Glow have the field in 

 yellow. Some are inclined to think 

 the growers have devoted too much 



space to this flower this year. Carna- 

 tions are improving and the stems are 

 now of^ good average length. A few 

 straggling out-door flowers of various 

 kinds are still seen. 



It may be truly said that 

 DETROIT business has opened up 



before the florist was 

 ready. Carnations and chrysanthe- 

 mums are from two to three weeks 

 behind, some growers cutting only one- 

 tenth of the amount of flowers they 

 were cutting a year ago. Many years 

 have passed since the writer sent 

 so many palm leaves and magnolia 

 vvreaths with orchids used in design 

 work, plainly the result of a scarcity 

 of flowers.
