I am enclosing check for the renew- 

 al of my subscription. I might also 

 say that HORTICULTURE, although 

 not nearly the size of the other trade 

 papers, nevertheless covers a big sub-

Flower Market Reports 



(Continued from page jSj) 



Last week proved a 

 CINCINNATI fair one. The sup- 

 ply of stock was 

 large but the demand took up a large 

 part of it. The call ran more toward 

 seasonable blooms, as asters, etc., 

 than to roses and the like. The sup- 

 ply of roses continued large with only 

 a small percentage of fancy stock. The 

 good choice blooms sell fairly well 

 while short and medium grades find 

 a rather slow request. The call for 

 Beauties is rather good. Asters are 

 in good supply. Most of the receipts 

 are of a high quality 

 nicely. 



a high quality that sell very 

 Gladioli are on the wane but 

 still have an active demand -for the 

 best grades of stock. Dahlias are 

 coming in strong but up to the time of 

 this writing have not acquired any tre- 

 mendous popularity. Easter lilies are 

 very short of the call for them and if 

 more had been available in the past 

 several days they would have cleaned 

 1 p easily. A good many rubrum lilies 

 are offered. Smilax is on the short 

 side of the market. 



There was a 

 PHILADELPHIA great deal of 



mortuary work 

 last week, especially among the 400. 

 Many prominent Philadelphians were 

 in the New Haven wreck, and in addi- 

 tion there were quite an unusual num- 

 ber of distinguished citizens who fell 

 before the Great Reaper. This had its 

 effect on the flower market, but there 

 was plenty of stock for all demands. 

 Asters and dahlias are now the prom- 

 inent features. Gladioli still in fair 

 supply. The first flakes of the chrys- 

 anthemum storm now falling — Smith's 

 Advance and Golden Glow, mostly — 

 quality very good. Nothing new in 

 roses or carnations, 

 scarce.

good, showing an 



Orchids still very 



Business thus far 

 during September 

 has been fairly 

 improvement over 

 August. While asters are about at an 

 end. dahlias are beginning to come in- 

 to the market in such quantities as to 

 make them a wearisome sight. The 

 new crop American Beauty roses are 

 exceptionally fine as to color, foliage 

 and stem. Yellow and white chrys- 

 anthemums are quite abundant. Car- 

 nations are coming in with stems so 

 short as to make them practically 

 worthless. Orchids are not very plen- 

 tiful but gardenias have been avail- 

 able throughout the year, something 

 never before accomplished in this city.

The Boston Flower Exchange had 

 its annual auction sale for choice of 

 stalls, on Saturday, Sept. 6, at the 

 new market in Winthrop square, Bos- 

 ton. There was a very large attend- 

 ance and the sales were eminently 

 satisfactory to the board of directors- 

 and everybody else concerned. A 

 very promising outlook for the com- 

 ing season seems assured.
