stock in market each day 

 BOSTON is getting lighter and 



there is no bad glut on 

 any line. Gladioli and asters are 

 shortened up, recent frosts in the 

 country districts having hit them 

 hard. Some indoor asters now com- 

 ing in are very fine and bring from ?2 

 to ?3 per 100. As to roses there is no 

 special demand although sales are 

 gradually increasing. Many small, 

 short-stemmed buds are received 

 which, of course, have to be sold for 

 what they will bring. Carnations are 

 improving noticeably but stems are 

 still short. Lily of the valley moves 

 along nicely. 



Good stock meets ready 

 CHICAGO sale. The second week 



in September found a 

 normal demand for all kinds of flow- 

 ers that could be classed as good, and 

 the week ended with a general clean- 

 up which carried over into Sunday. 

 Monday, the 15th, was busier for the 

 shippers than for those doing a local 

 business, still there was no accumula- 

 tion of stock. American Beauties are 

 perhaps scarcer than anyr other flow- 

 er, the buds for the present cutting 

 having been severely injured by the 

 high temperature about three weeks 

 ago. The demand for lily of the val- 

 ley continues good, especially in out- 

 of-town orders. Carnations are now 

 showing a rapid increase in length of

stem and size of bloom and cuts are 

 decidedly larger. Asters are beginning 

 to evidence the coming of the close of 

 the season. Plenty of fairly good ones 

 are still seen and the aster season is 

 counted as a good one. All kinds of 

 roses are limited in quantity rather 

 than other-Wise, which is just as well, 

 for they are now about equal to the 

 demand and prices hold steady. Gladi- 

 oli are holding to their season's record 

 of being unsatisfactory all around. 

 The first shipments of boxwood are 

 now in from Virginia. Carnations 

 with 22-inch stems are about "the 

 limit" this week and come from Bud- 

 long's. Growers expect to begin cut- 

 ting chrysanthemums regularly about 

 October first. The stragglers which 

 have come along the past six weeks 

 have not received the cordial welcome 

 which will encourage early blooms in 

 the future. 



Stock of all kinds is 

 CINCINNATI still plentiful. The 



aster receipts are 

 larger than at any time this season 

 and only the best are selling. The 

 gladiolus market is in the same condi- 

 tion as the aster market. Dahlias are 

 now coming in strong. Up to this time, 

 however, there has not been a very 

 large call for them. Cosmos is selling 

 well, but the cuts of it are as yet rath- 

 er limited. Roses are enjoying a bet- 

 ter call this week than at any time 

 for the past several weeks. Beauties 

 sell very well. A limited number of 

 carnations are coming into the whole- 

 sale houses. The lily supply is rather 

 limited but the receipts seem to be am- 

 ple for requirements.
