Business Is unseasonably 

 BOSTON quiet here this week. It 



is no time tor changing 

 prices, but if the product was heavier 

 than it is at present there is no doubt 

 that values would be forced downward 

 in a most disastrous way. If business 

 was normal in volume the supply 

 would surely run short, but the fact 

 is that it is unusually inactive for this 

 season of the year. There is an evi- 

 dent scarcity of Richmond, Beauty and 

 Killarney roses and on the other va- 

 rieties there is no overstock. Trumpet 

 narcissi are selling at a lively clip. 

 Other bulbous stock goes slow. Violets 

 are tending downwards. 



The market took a de- 

 BUFFALO cided change the past 



week and stock on most 

 lines was on the scarce list, especially 

 roses of short and medium quality. 

 There has been an exceptionally good 

 demand for white material and white 

 roses had a heavy call. The demand 

 is increasin.g daily for White Killarney 

 and some excellent stock is coming in. 

 My Maryland, Richmond, Killarney, 

 Bonsilene and Perle have been excel- 

 lent. Beauties are not plentiful and 

 have had no great demand. There has 

 been a good supply of carnations which 

 have had a fair demand, the light col- 

 ors moving well. All other stock in 

 normal supply. Asparagus is some- 

 what short in supply, but there is 

 plenty of smilax. 



A complete change has 

 CHICAGO taken place in market 



conditions during the 

 past week. Where an over-abundance 

 of nearly all kinds of stock was to be 

 seen then, the tables now are com- 

 paratively empty. Not one sunny day 

 so far this month, and each day finds 

 plants more and more off bloom and 

 the growers say they see no prospects 

 of any immediate improvement. Car- 

 nations have been so plentiful that 

 prices were very unsatisfactory, and 

 now the tables are turning and the 

 grower having a good stock of carna- 

 tions has been able to take in the 

 dollars. Roses are soaring also and 

 the stock is sp scarce there is no tell- 

 ing where the price may go. All kinds 

 of white flowers are scarce. Violets 

 are coming In from the East in good 

 shape and selling readily. Bulbous 

 stock is in fair supply. 



Since the last meet- 

 WASHINGTON .ing there has been 

 a decided slump In 

 the flower market. Carnations went 

 tumbling down, fine flowers selling for 

 $1.50 per hundred. Roses, too, are de- 

 moralized, but not so bad as carna- 

 tions. All bulbous stock Is congested, 

 especially narcissi, which sell from 

 $1.50 per hundred down. Good ob- 

 servers, though, seem to think that 

 prices will stiffen before another week. 

 Washington cleaned out New York, 

 Philadelphia and Chicago the past 

 week on yellow orchids.
