Flower Market Reports WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKETS -^■*""^'"^'To-D^E'AVEt 



TO DEALERS ONLY 



Business is abnormally 

 BOSTON quiet for August in Bos- 

 ton, It has been so all 

 summer and has at no period had the 

 ring to it that it had last summer. 

 The flower-buying people are either 

 away or are otherwise occupied. The 

 suburban as well as the city trade 

 are at a standstill and sales are made 

 to them by the wholesale dealers un- 

 der extreme suasion or at unmention- 

 able prices. GlEdioli as coming in now 

 are the finest ever seen here, but, 

 somehow, values have been hammered 

 down, a conc'ition to which large bulb 

 growers have contributed by market- 

 ing their flowers as a bi-product. Lily 

 of the valley, which had been run- 

 ning shy on quantity and quality is 

 now back to normal status. Roses are 

 plentiful and of varying quality. The 

 new Montgomery rose. Hadley, a beau- 

 tiful crimson, is in the limelight now 

 and is bound to attract attention wher- 

 ever seen. Asters are not so over- 

 plentiful; quality good, but the re- 

 cent heavy rains have battered and 

 spattered them and they show the 

 wear and tear for the time being. 



Very little change is ap- 

 BUFFALO parent in the flower 



market. The receipts of 

 gladioli continue heavy and some ex- 

 ceptional fine varieties are seen. 

 America, Panama and Augusta are 

 taking well, and there are some fine 

 Canary and Mrs. King, Some indoor 

 asters are had, also only a few out- 

 door branching, though with very 

 short stems. A heavy .supply of Beau- 

 lies are in and the (Jemand has been 

 fairly eood. There have been too 

 rnanv lilies and at this time the sup- 

 ply h^s shortened up. Roses continue 

 ■r, fair supply, though at times White 

 Killarnpv and Kaiserin are on the 

 short side.

There are welcome indi- 

 CHICAGO cations that fall, with its 



usual business awaken- 

 ing is at hand. In fact, the entire 

 summer showed less of the total de- 

 pression of business than in former 

 years, and something else than the 

 quality of stock must be the cause, for 

 the early summer heat injured both 

 the roses and carnations. In regular 

 stock, Beauties lead in quality and 

 there are plenty of them without be- 

 ing an overstock. Young stock is 

 now coming in regularly and the qual- 

 ity is constantly improving. In novel- 

 ties, Milady and Sunburst are the 

 summer leaders and some extra fancy 

 stock brings as high as 15c. Asters 

 have passed from the early to the late 

 varieties and on the sales of this 

 ■flower reports vary. Gladioli are not 

 selling well and outside of the three 

 leaders, America, Mrs. King and Au- 

 gusta, and Peace, sales are small, A 

 few Golden Glow chrysanthemums are 

 in, but do not meet much demand. A 

 few carnations from young plants are 

 being cut and some are of very fair 

 size for August, 



Last week, the de- 

 CINCINNATI ni a n d was very in- 

 different. The whole- 

 salers' effort to move the large sup- 

 ply was, naturally, very futile. The 

 call from out-of-town is relative- 

 ly better than the local demand. 

 Roses are very plentiful. Asters are 

 shipped into the market in larger 

 quantities than before. Choice blooms, 

 have been moving readily, while the 

 poorer ones find a very slow market. 

 Gladioli are following closely the same 

 form in the market that the asters 

 show. Only the best sell well and 

 yield a fair return. Lilies are in a, 

 fair supply and sell up fairly well. 

 Hardy hydrangea, pond lilies and lily 

 of the valley are among the offerings. 

 Very little is being 

 NEW YORK done yet in the whole- 

 sale markets, where 

 the aspect has not materially changed 

 for weeks, and there are no signs to 

 indicate any immediate activity. In 

 the retail stores a little bustle is no- 

 ticed, however, and this is a hopeful 

 indication. Quality has improved on
