Flower Market Reports. 



' Serenity rules the mar- 



BOSTON ket this weelv, the con- 

 ditions having improved 

 very materially. Chrysanthemums 

 of the medium grades are selling well 

 but there is little room for the high- 

 priced blooms. Carnations are slowly 

 outgrowing their recent handicap of 

 shorf stems and are of excelknt quality, 

 bringing a better price than they us- 

 ually do in chrysanthemum time. 

 Killarney, Maryland, White Killar- 

 ney. Bride and Bridesmaid roses 

 are fine and selling satisfactorily. 

 There are still some Kaiserins and 

 Carnots in market but they show the 

 effects of approaching cold _ weather 

 and are getting ready to hibernate. 

 The rose situation is much better than 

 it was a week ago. Violets are im- 

 proved in quality. Singles are again 

 preferred over doubles as in the past 

 two years. Orchids and gardenias are 

 holding their own well. 



Plenty of rain and in- 

 BUFFALO clement weather was 



had the past week 

 though trade was quite satisfactory. 

 There was sufficient stock to be had in 

 all lines except carnations which are 

 still slow in coming in and hardly 

 enough to supply the demand. In the 

 rose line Beauties continue of excel- 

 lent quality and so far have sold well. 

 Killarney and My Maryland are im- 

 proving. White Killarney from local 

 growers is finding its way to the 

 front. Bonsilenes are in steady de- 

 mand. Chrysanthemums are cleaning 

 up well and very few are left after 

 the day's business: the later varieties 

 are gradually coming on. amongst 

 them being Duckham, Poehlmann. 

 Pride and others. Violets, lily of the 

 valley and cattleyas are having a bet- 

 ter call than the previous week. 



The cry seems still to 

 CHICAGO be for more stock. While 



there is a sufficient 

 amount of certain kinds on certain 

 days the supply In general can hard- 

 ly be said to cover the demand. The 

 exception is in chrysanthemums of 

 which a good supply is now coming in. 

 Virginia Poehlmann is a favorite white 

 and Halliday is the best yellow now 



in the market, but some complaint is 

 made that the blooms of the latter 

 are showing centers too much this 

 year. Touset is at its best this week. 

 Of American Beauties there is just 

 about the right quantity. Stems fully 

 50 inches long are easily found and 

 the mediums are moving as rapidly 

 as the supply warrants. Carnations 

 are scarce and bringing a good, stiff 

 price. Violets from the East aie com- 

 peting with the home-grown ones and 

 neither are selling rapidly. The home- 

 grown ones are peihaps a little ahead 

 on account of their fiagrance. 



We are happy to 

 PHILADELPHIA be able to re- 

 port a greatly im- 

 proved market here. The early part 

 of last week was not so good, but the 

 wind-up wr.s excellent and at this writ- 

 ing trading is brisk and healthy with 

 piospects of the best for the near fu- 

 ture. American Beauty roses lead the 

 market with enhanced values and im- 

 proved quality. Richmonds are good 

 and on the scarce side, if anything. 



Brides and Bridesmaids remain about 

 normal, with quality in favor of the 

 latter. Killarneys and Marylands are 

 steadily improving as to stem and 

 flower, and meet with ready market. 

 Carnations are still scarce and are 

 cleaning up well. Some extra well- 

 grown Queens are coming in — so good, 

 in fact, that the experts could hardly 

 believe that they were Queens. White 

 Perfection, Bountiful, Rose Pink En- 

 chantress, Winsor, Victory and Har- 

 lowarden, are among the leaders. Bea- 

 con is the finest on the list. Chrysan- 

 themums are plentiful and moving off 

 in fair shape. There is no glut as yet. 

 Beatrice May and Yellow Eaton are 

 the top-notchers. Virginia Poehlmann, 

 Appletcn. Ivory and Halliday are ex- 

 cellent, and there are still a few good 

 Tousets around. Orchids are shorten- 

 ing up. Violets are more plentiful 

 and improving in quality — Marie 

 Louise. Princess and California most- 

 ly. Lily of the valley and gardenias 

 a\ormal. Mignonette just commenc- 

 ing.
