Flower Market Reports 



This market is well sup- 

 BOSTON plied with everything, ex- 

 cepting only American 

 Beauty roses, which are in their usual 

 scarcity at this time of the year. All 

 otiier varieties of roses are abundant 

 and of high average quality. The 

 spring-like weather we have enjoyed 

 during the past few days has hastened 

 the daffodil and tulip flowers along 

 and iirices on violets, £s well as daffo- 

 dils, are weakening. Conditions have 

 been favorable for good carnations. 

 There are evidences, however, that the 

 supply is slackening and it is expected 

 that the special call for use on Mc- 

 Kinley Day will clean uii the local 

 stock in good shaiie. Orchids are quite 

 generally seen in the flower windows, 

 cypri]iediunis. cattleyas and dendrobi- 

 ums inedominating. 



Even the most optimis- 

 CHICAGO tic cannot see evidence 

 of any great increase 

 in business over that of last week, 

 which we were obliged to report as 

 somewhat dull. Now, as then, fune- 

 rals supply the bulk of trade. All 

 kinds of flowers are scarce enough to 

 keep prices up and green stuff is also 

 bringing good figures. The scarcity 

 of white roses is particularly felt. 

 Among the retailers is marked the 

 frequency with which they report the 

 increase of sales of orchids which 

 are constantly gaining in popularity 

 here. There is unusual demand also 

 for lily of the valley this week. 



No sunshine for 

 INDIANAPOLIS fully three weeks, 



consequently stock 

 has shortened up considerably, and 

 this past week quite a difficulty was 

 experienced in securing stock, espe- 

 cially of roses. It is impossible to 

 secure enough to fill orders. These 

 conditions in one way are beneficial 

 as better prices are obtained by the 

 growers. Among the retailers satisfac- 

 tory reports are received from all 

 quarters. Spring flowers are very 

 much in demand. A steady demand is 

 noticed on peas, lilac, lily of the val- 

 ley and orchids. Greenery of all kinds 

 is moving well and good prices are 

 obtained. 



The month of 



NEW ORLEANS January has been 

 a good one here. 

 The New Year's Day trade was excep- 

 tionally large many stores reporting 

 an increase over Christmas week in 

 cut flowers; and since then the whole 

 trade has been kept busy. The town 

 is well filled with visitors for the 

 Mardi Gras festival and there are fetes 

 galore for their entertainment. The 

 old Bridesmaid is still the favorite 

 pink rose here. My Maryland is too 

 uncertain in color and Killarney is too 

 single for this warm climate. Cattleya 

 Trianae is about over, but C. Schroder- 

 ae and Mossiae are still to come and 

 there is a fine batch of Gncidlum 

 splendidum in sight from local grow- 

 ers. Hudson River violets are com- 

 ing here direct and arrive in good 

 shape and meet a quick sale. Lily of 

 the valley and callas are good stock.

The Hose Question
