Flower Market Reports. 



Business is liolding up 

 BOSTON very satisfactorily and 



stoclv is moving througU 

 ordinary cliannels all right as com- 

 pared with previous years. White car- 

 nations have been running in shorter 

 supply with the result of a slight stif- 

 fening of rates on all grades. Roses 

 have never been of finer quality at 

 this season than they are now. What- 

 ever may be the situation as regards 

 outdoor flowers for Memorial Day — 

 and nobody can say with any certainty 

 yet — the condition of all indoor crops 

 Is very promising and the trade here 

 is looking forward to a very heavy de- 

 mand. Orchids are looking up, under 

 the impetus of the Orchid Exhibition 

 which opens next week and the call 

 for them is from widely separated ter- 

 ritory. 



More rain and cloudy 



BUFFALO weather continued for 

 two weeks past and has 

 shortened the supply on cut flowers to 

 such an extent that prices have raised 

 a notch. The demand has been good for 

 carnations and other material, and 

 trade is quite active. A heavy call for 

 peas, lily of the valley and white roses 

 almost makes us think the wedding 

 month has arrived. There is little or 

 no out door stock at present. Lilacs 

 and lily of the valley will be had 

 shortly but are held in check l>y the 

 cold weather. It must be said that 

 trade has been exceptionally good for 

 the past two weeks. 



The market felt the ef- 

 CHICAGO feet of two big days, 



Mothers' Day and the 

 day of the auto parade. The high 

 price of white carnations continued 

 till near the end of the week when it 

 fell to one-half. All the wholesalers 

 report large sales for Mothers' Day, 

 and welcome one more day for special 

 use of flowers. The scarcity of white 

 before the orders were all filled 

 brought the colored into use and it 

 would be most welcome to the trade 

 to have this day celebrated by the use 

 of flowers of all colors. "The auto 

 parade also worked off many roses and 

 carnations, though in the decorations 

 as a whole, artificial flowers largely 

 predominated. Snow ferns from Mich- 

 igan are arriving in good condition 

 and sell for $2.50 per 1000. The east- 

 ern stock from cold storage is also 

 of good quality. Peonies, in white 

 and pink, principally, are coming in 

 quite freely and sell from $4.00 to 

 $6.00 per 100, mostly at the latter fig- 

 ure. It is expected that by the time 

 this is in print gladioli will be here 

 in quantity: all colors. Lily of the 

 valley is not plentiful. Asparagus is 

 still coming in from the South and the 

 quality is good. Callas are said by 

 the growers to be in about one-half 

 supply and sell at $1.50 to $2.00 per 

 dozen. Hundred rates are seldom 

 quoted. 



Detroit reports good trade and firm 

 prices,
