Flower Market Reports WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKETS— ^'^^"^ '"^'^^-p^'AVe'g; 



Things are not as rosy 

 BOSTON in this market as would 

 be wished. The weather 

 has been very unpropitious for the re- 

 tail trade, nearly two weeks of drizzle, 

 fog and downpour with but one or two 

 bright days intervening, having been 

 experienced. Notwithstanding this 

 the receipts of flowers have been 

 mounting up although 'it cannot be 

 said that quality has kept pace with 

 quantity. Chrysanthemums are rapid- 

 ly increasing and the influx has hardly 

 begun yet. A depressing effect on 

 other stock is unavoidable and prices 

 have sagged along the line, except in 

 a way on roses, which have remained 

 stationary for the past two weeks. 

 Carnations have weakened consider- 

 ably, however. Yet it must be ad- 

 mitted that taking into consideration 

 the very large amount of material 

 coming in under very unfavorable con- 

 ditions the trade has been clearing it 

 up pretty well. 



A period of ten days 

 BUFFALO of real hot weather has 



been broken up by a 

 heavy wind storm and rain and it 

 came on Saturday causing .">0 per cent 

 of the Saturday sales to fall off. Sat- 

 urday was looked forward to by the 

 wholesalers as a clean-up day I)ut such 

 did not materialize. Roses suffered, 

 also other stock, it being an impossi- 

 bility to keep stock in saleable condi- 

 tion. Shipments, especially of Killar- 

 ney, Richmond and other, roses and 

 dahlias were most affected. The lat- 

 ter were in heav.v supply and the mar- 

 ket was overloaded. Carnations have 

 come on heavier and the receipts on 

 everything else 'have increased. As- 

 ters and other outdoor stuff are still re- 

 ceived and are not worth the handling. 

 Chrysanthemums are coming on more 

 plentiful each day. The trade is look- 

 ing for cold weather and it will be 

 welcomed when it does come.

The advance of fall 

 CHICAGO makes little change in 

 market conditions, which 

 are fairly satisfactory. No special de- 

 mand for large quantities of flowers 

 has occurred during the past week 

 but a steady, if not heavy shipping 

 trade and a medium local demand has 

 used up the stock day by day. The 

 chrysanthemum holds the post of 

 honor now and the first varieties are 

 on the wane. October Frost is being 

 ing^^^ucceeded by Yellow Frost, Golden 

 Glow and" Smith's Advance will ^oon 

 be gonaj ai;d Chrysilora. Unaka. Tou- 

 set, Virginia Pochlmann, Pacific Su- 

 preme and Monrovia are here. The 

 demand is at all times equal to the 

 supply and not one chrysanthemum 

 goes to waste. Indications are that 

 carnations will not be really abundant 

 till after All Saints' Day, for which 

 growers are now anticipating a good 

 demand. American Beauties are now 

 of excellent quality and the cuts were 

 so large last week that prices did not 



hold to quotations on the extra 

 lengths. The greatest demand as usual 

 is for the medium lengths. All kinds 

 of roses are coming in quantity and 

 there appears demand enough to use 

 them all. Miscellaneous flowers are 

 narrowing down. Violets are arriving 

 in better condition. Lilies are more 

 plentiful. The new varieties of roses 

 are attracting more attention as the 

 tall advances. 



The demand last 

 CINCINNATI week was not up to 

 that of preceding 

 weeks. It was only on Monday and 

 Si^turday that there was satisfactory 

 clearances. During the intervening 

 days stock crowded considerably and 

 some finally went to the ash barrel. 

 The unsatisfactory condition of the 

 market is due both to a slower demand 

 and the large final influx of outdoor 

 stock. With heavier receipts the mar- 

 ket for the outdoor blooms has eased 

 so considerably that only the best 

 brings a fair figure. Quite a few of
