Flower Market Reports. 



A fair business is being 

 BOSTON done and witli tlie com- 

 ing of ■warniei- weatlier 

 and clear atmosphere, roses especially 

 are improved. There is an over-supply 

 of sweet peas, lilies and stocks and 

 peonies are hard to move at any price. 

 Lily of the valley which was scarce 

 last week, is again plentiful. Orchids 

 go slowly but better than they did 

 earlier in the month. Carnations are, 

 on the average, indifferent in quality, 

 but probably as good as at this date 

 in any previous year. 



Trade continues to be 

 BUFFALO active, though the past 

 week found the market 

 in heavy supply on most lines, espe- 

 cially carnations of ordinary quality. 

 Also roses were in heavy sujiply. Sat- 

 urday was looked forward to as clean- 

 up day, but it opened with a pouring 

 rain and continued throughout the day 

 and Sunday morning, consequently the 

 stock was carried over. Peony, peas 

 and lily of the valley are having the 

 call, though white roses have sold well. 

 Kaiserin and White Killarney were in 

 good supply and no shortage in the 

 white rose line. Carnot roses are ex- 

 cellent, also Richmond. There was an 

 over-supply on Beauties and only nor- 

 mal demand. Beginning next Monday 

 school commencements are on and a 

 busy week is looked for. 



A few warm days have 

 CHICAGO made stock more plen- 

 ful and also lowered 

 the quality. Sunday was the first 

 really warm' day since March and 

 the stock under glass quickly felt 

 the change. Carnations are too plen- 

 tiful, and the prices have dropped 

 too low to suit the growers, and 

 only the best stock can he moved 

 at anything like a good figure. Roses, 

 too, are much more abundant and only 

 extra fine stock brings the top price, 

 while there is plenty of fairly good 

 stock sold at a very low figure. The 

 first new Beauties are seen in a few 

 places, while the supply of old ones is 

 abundant in all lengths. Peonies are 

 not satisfactory to the trade in gener- 

 al and the conditions do not improve 

 as the season advances; good white 

 brings the highest price. Gladioli are 

 coming in freely, but the demand is 

 light. Daisies are scarce, but there are 

 many from the fields brought in. Cal- 

 las are still in and quality fairly good 

 for the season. Green stuff is in good 

 demand. Sweet peas of the Spencer 

 type are among the most popular, if 

 not the flowers most in demand this 

 month. One of our large retailers says 

 the man who can give us a winter- 

 blooming crop with the same charac- 

 teristics will confer a great favor upon 

 the people as well as reap a reward for 

 himself. 



The warm weather 

 CINCINNATI of the past week 

 has brought in an 

 abundance of stock of nearly all kinds. 

 Carnations, which were scarce last 

 week, are more plentiful and show the 

 effects of the warm weather, conse- 

 quently have come down a shade in 

 price. American Beauties appeared 

 plentiful and of good quality for the 

 season. Brides and Bridesmaids are

also showing the effects of the warm 

 weather, although there are some ex- 

 cellent Kaiserin. Killarney. Taft. and 

 Maryland to be had. Lily of the val- 

 ley and sweet peas are an important 

 item, with very little of the former 

 to be had, while with the latter the 

 call is mostly for white and lavender 

 colors. Arrivals of peonies have 

 slacked up considerably. Green goods 

 of all kinds are in good supply.
