Flower Market Reports 



Business has dropped off 

 BOSTON very noticeably this 

 week and it is evident 

 that tor a time at least Lent is going 

 to ma)ve itself felt in the flower trade. 

 At the same time the receipts are in- 

 creasing on most lines. Carnations 

 feel the cut in demand perhaps as 

 much as any other item. Roses hold 

 out fairly well thus far. American 

 Beauties of the higher grades are sel- 

 dom seen of late, but they are not 

 specially called for and are not greatly 

 missed. Violets and bulb flowers are 

 increasing in quantity and dwindling 

 in value. 



Ash Wednesday is not 

 CHICAGO likely to bring any great 

 change in the market 

 conditions. The amount of sales is 

 still regulated more by the quantity 

 of flowers than by the demand, with 

 some few exceptions. Beauties are off 

 crop and the few long-stemmed ones 

 are not moving very readily. Growers 

 state that there are indications of a 

 good supply of Beauties in the near 

 future, when all will share alike in a 

 possible over-production. Other roses 

 are about equal to the demand with a 

 preponderance of pink, of which Kil- 

 larney leads In demand. As the quan- 

 tity of white roses grown is much less 

 this year, the supply is less according- 

 ly and many are wishing they had 

 planned differently. Carnations are 

 getting more plentiful and last week 

 moved off satisfactorily, but this week 

 sales started more slowly. Violets also 

 are more plentiful, though there is no 

 surplus. Tulips, jonquils and daffodils 

 are all coming in plentifully and stocks 

 are to be seen in a number of places. 

 Lilies are coming along faster and all 

 kinds of greens are in sufficient supply 

 and of goQd quality. 



Dull weather has 

 INDIANAPOLIS prevailed through- 

 out the last two 

 weeks and stock along some lines con- 

 tinues to be scarce with an excellent 

 demand. The supply of roses has not 

 been nearly enough. Carnations are 

 to be had in better quantity. All kinds 

 of bulbous stock is to be had and finds 

 lively sale. Lilies of both kinds are 

 in suflicient supply to meet all de- 

 mands. Beauties have been on the 

 scarce side for the past ten days. Sweet 

 peas, lily of the valley and orchids are 

 much used for corsage work. The de- 

 mand for potted plants has been quite 

 heavy. Azaleas, cyclamens, primroses, 

 and bulbous stock in pans are the 

 popular selling varieties. There is 

 steady call for pot ferns and table fern- 

 ery stock. Greens of some kinds are 

 scarce and frequently it is diSicult to 

 get enough to go around. Business 

 throughout the month of January has 

 been most satisfactory. There has not 

 been an over-supply of anything, con- 

 sequently nothing has gone to the ash- 

 barrel.
