Flower Market Reports. 



BOSTON 



picked up 

 Wednesday, 



Business was pretty quiet 

 all through the first halt 

 of this week, but it has 

 nicely, beginning with 

 and the prospects are ex- 

 cellent for a satisfactory wind up. The 

 dark weather of the past few days has 

 shortened up the supply very materi- 

 ally and has retarded the outdoor stock 

 which, had the warm weather contin- 

 ued, would have encumbered the mar- 

 ket at a time when there is little de- 

 mand for it. Quality is good, as a rule, 

 and the cold-house roses, such as 

 Kaiserin and Carnot, are superb in 

 every way. The call for white carna- 

 tions is quite strong at present and 

 prices are on the up-grade for any 

 good stock. 



The market showed a 

 CHICAGO slight improvement over 

 the previous week. Stock 

 is not as plentiful as could be desired 

 and there is no reason to look (or 

 any immediate increase. The one hot 

 day following the continued rain 

 caused the plants to suffer from thrips. 

 There is not at this time any outdoor 

 stock coming into the market which is 

 really salable. In fact lilacs are the 

 only flowers offered and they are frost- 

 bitten and poor. It is predicted that 

 white carnations will be in great de- 

 mand and supply short during the lat- 

 ter half of the week. Last year the 

 quantity used for Mothers' Day was 

 large and this year the orders are com- 

 ing earlier. Prices have advanced to 

 five and six cents at present writing. 

 Lilies continue scarce. The first peon- 

 ies are arriving in fine shape and as 

 usual are queen of the windows. Snap 

 dragons are selling fairly well. The 

 stems are long but not so stiff as a 

 few weeks ago. Gladioli, in light 

 shades as well as the bright red, are a 

 welcome addition and a boon to the 

 florist needing a stately flower. Aspar- 

 agus plumosa is getting a little scarce 

 and there is no excess of green of 

 any kind. There has been an unusual 

 scarcity of sphagnum moss the past 

 month. Some of the large retail houses 

 have resorted to excelsior to fill their 

 designs. 



A few warm days fol- 

 CINCINNATI lowing the recent cool 

 snap has brought in 

 an abundant supply of Beauties and 

 Tea roses which are moving nicely, 

 although at reduced prices. The cut 

 of carnations has also increased with 

 white bringing the highest price, the 

 quality for this season of the year be- 

 ing very good. Both outdoor and in- 

 door lily of the valley are moving nice- 

 ly as are also callas and Harrisii lilies. 

 The demand for sweet peas is still in 

 excess of the supply. Antirrhinum 

 and daisies find a ready market. Local 

 grown peonies made their first ap- 

 pearance of the season on Monday, 

 while bulbous stock is a thing of the 

 past. All green goods are in good 

 supply. A. O. 



Detroit reports continued cold, 

 rainy weather has kept the supply 

 down for the past week and. with a 

 very good demand in general, prices 

 have ranged higher and firmer than 

 in previous years at corresponding 

 date.
