Flower Market Reports. 



The market is badly shat- 

 BOSTON tered here for the time 



being and considering 

 the way in which all kinds of stock 

 is coming in the prospects for imme- 

 diate improvement are not particular- 

 ly rosy. All Varieties of roses are ac- 

 cumulating in wholesalers' bands and 

 are unloaded with difficulty, the ques- 

 tion of prices having very little influ- 

 ence in effecting a sale. They are sim- 

 ply not wanted. The out-of-town buy- 

 er has his own crop on in sufficient 

 quantity to make him independent of 

 the Boston market at least while the 

 good growing weatlier continues. The 

 lirst frost worth mentioning came on 

 the night of October 19. It settled 

 the dahlias and other soft material, 

 which had up to that time been un- 

 touched, but no influence was felt in 

 the flower market which was already 

 sagging under its burden of indoor 

 products. Orchids, gardenias, lily of 

 the valley and other material usually 

 classed as choice and desirable are in 

 the same predicament as their plebeian 

 associates and must sit on the "anx- 

 ious seat" in company with the chrys- 

 anthemum, violet and carnation until 

 things start up again. 



Heavy rains, snow and 

 BUFFALO sleet for nearly the 



whole week, have made 

 business ver\- unsatisfactory to all in 

 the trade. Tlie florists' windows are 



decorated in autumn attire, chyrsan- 

 themums and autumn foliage, and all 

 are in readiness for any rush of busi- 

 ness. Chrysanthemums are coming in.
