Flower Market Reports 



Mid-lent finds this mar- 

 BOSTON ket in normal condition, 



with demand fairly good 

 on some lines and weak on others. 

 Roses are in good demand, everything 

 considered, and Killarney, White Kil- 

 larney. Richmond and Beauty are be- 

 ing unloaded with success. White 

 carnations and Acacia pubescens may 

 also be recorded among the good sel- 

 lers. Among the slow sellers are 

 colored carnations, gardenias, lily of 

 the valley, freesias. tulips, yellow nar- 

 cissi single and double, sweet peas, 

 stocks and violets. Business in 

 general is dull according to all ac- 

 counts and lacks spirit. 



Trade has been on the 

 BUFFALO quiet side for past two 



weeks and the market is 

 in bad condition at times. Flowers 

 have been plentiful on most lines, es- 

 pecially carnations of ordinary quality, 

 which have been carried along await- 

 ing an outlet, and finally the bargain 

 man is looked for. Some excellent 

 Beacon, Ideal, Melody, White Lawson, 

 Perfection and Enchantress are had 

 and the select stock has been moved 

 freely. The severe cold weather of 

 late has checked the sale of corsage 

 flowers, and violets, peas and lily of 

 the valley are overplentiful at times 

 and little or no outlet is found. Beau- 

 ties and other roses have had a good 

 call and are not in oversupply. Mary- 

 land has done well this winter, also 

 Killarney and Richmond. White Kil- 

 larney becoming more popular with 

 the trade, although the Bride is pre- 

 ferred, especially when floral work is 

 had. Spring flowers are in good sup- 

 ply, especially tulips, narcissi and daf- 

 fodils, which have had only a fair de- 

 mand. Callas are fine and have sold 

 well, while Easter lilies are plentiful 

 and only normal in demand. Smilax 

 and other greens are in good supply. 

 Asparagus plumosus bunches are rath- 

 er scarce in this section. 



Stock is coming in quite 

 CHICAGO freely now, and the flor- 

 ist who has a good ship- 

 ping trade will wear a smile of satis- 

 faction. On the other hand, he who 

 depends entiiely upon local sales for 

 his trade will (ell you that he is look- 

 ing for livelier business soon. It is 

 certainly true that some florists found 

 more flowei s on their counters than 

 they could dispose of to advantage. 

 This was especially true the last week 

 in February. The closing Monday of 

 the month found most of the market 

 quite lively and flowers were of fine 

 quality. It is daily more evident that 

 the quantity of bulb stock coming in 

 is more than the trade can handle at 

 a figure satisfactory to the grower. 

 Each year the number of bulbs grown 

 has been a little larger, and the ex- 

 cess is particularly evident in the un- 

 sold stock of daffodils and narcissi. 

 Tulips, so far, have moved off more 

 readily. All kinds of roses are good 

 and moving satisfactorily, Killarney 

 still in the lead. Pansies and forget- 

 me-not are the latest additions to the 

 regular winter flowers. Lilies are not 

 plentiful, and the usual anxiety re- 

 garding the supply for Easter is felt 

 with some additions this year.
