Business is not showing 

 BOSTON any great advancement 



as far as demand goes, 

 but tlie outlook is satisfactory in all 

 respects. Quality of most items on 

 the regular flower list is improving 

 with the cooler weather and Septem- 

 ber Morn seems to exercise a healthy 

 effect on the product generally. 

 New carnations are just beginning to 

 take their place in the market. Flow- 

 ers are good and foliage clean, but 

 stems are still too short for good 

 work. Chrysanthemums are in; only 

 a few, however, and mostly yellow. 

 There is a clamor for cattleyas, but 

 few are to be had. There will be a 

 surfeit soon, though. Gardenias are 

 beginning to look pretty good, bul 

 there is very little call for them. 

 American Beauty roses are in good 

 quality; sales very moderate. All 

 other roses are abundant, with qual- 

 ity inferior and values very low. Spe- 

 cial roses would sell just now, but 

 they are not to be had and the low 

 grade stock which is 90 per cent of 

 the receipts is not wanted. Asters are 

 overloaded on all sides; prices un- 

 quotable. Same holds true of gladi- 

 oli, but these are rapidly decreasing 

 in numbers. Sweet peas are useless, 

 as a rule. Lilies and lily of- the valley 

 normal. 



The market was filled 

 BUFFALO up on everything the 

 past week and the out- 

 let was blocked especially on gladioli 

 and ordinary asters. The best quality 

 of asters are on and have taken well 

 but the shorts have accumulated and 

 very little will be realized on them.

Roses are coming in heavier each day 

 and there is an oversupply on short- 

 stem stock. The medium and select 

 blooms have taken better. Lilies have 

 shortened up. Lily of the valley has 

 cleaned up well this summer. There 

 is a quantity of garden stuff but very 

 little demand at this time. 



The first week in Sep- 

 CHICAGO tember was one of ex- 

 tremes in temperature, 

 making a new record for hot weather, 

 followed quickly with another for cold. 

 Flower 'sales are always quick to re- 

 spond to weather conditions, especially 

 locally. Shipping trade has been unusu- 

 ally good for most of the summer 

 months, owing doubtless to the lack of 

 rain in the country generally. Carna- 

 tions are increasing daily in quantity, 

 but the increase in length of stem is 

 as yet not noticeable. Eight inches 



is a fair average. All the varieties of 

 roses generally grown may now be 

 found somewhere in the market, the 

 Killarneys, Richmond, Rhea Reid, Bul- 

 garie. Sunburst and Ward, and now 

 comes Milady in its first season here, 

 with its rich velvety red color and full 

 petals making it a favorite one. Aster 

 season gives no indication of being 

 on the wane, but all the late varieties 

 are coming on and prices holding firm. 

 American Beauties are only keeping 

 up with the demand, the cool days 

 holding them back a little. Harrisii 

 lilies are still in short supply, while 

 rubrum have about disappeared. Glad- 

 ioli are out of the race, the great bulk 

 poor ill quality and all unsalable. Tri- 

 tonia is with us again, as brilliant as 

 ever. Smilax continues scarce; all 

 other green plentiful. Some fine large
