Flower Market Reports 



The salient points about 

 BOSTON this market at present 



writing are the increas- 

 ing quantities of chrysanthemums and 

 the scarcity of violets. The former 

 is easily understood but the latter is 

 somewhat of a mystery as the weather 

 has not been unfavorable for their 

 blooming as we understand their re- 

 quirements to be. The chrysanthe- 

 mums, although very abundant, are 

 far from being up to exhibition stature 

 yet and the best offered are but me- 

 dium commercial quality as compared 

 with what are on sale in New York, 

 for instance, this week. But they are 

 really more salable for general use 

 than are the top-notchers. Lilies are 

 scarce and bring full value. Lily of 

 the valley good and selling satisfac- 

 torily. Carnations getting plentiful, 

 quality improving and sales quite 

 brisk. In roses there is a little over- 

 stock on white sorts. The improved 

 Killarneys, also the novelties such as 

 Mrs. Russell and Hadley and the red 

 Cardinal hold the leadership. Cardi- 

 nal seeming td oust Richmond from 

 its position as the most desirable red. 

 American Beauty is holding its own 

 nicely. Cattleyas are in good supply 

 and excellent quality. Trade, as a 

 general thing is fairly good in this 

 market and little fault-finding is 

 heard on any side.

The receipts have been 

 BUFFALO heavy throughout the 



whole week. On Satur- 

 day the long looked for clean-up day, 

 a heavy rain set in and continued for 

 the first of this week. Dahlias and 

 cosmcs were still coming in heavy and 

 there were a lot of chrysanthemums 

 of all grades and colors of the early 

 varieties of which sales were not of 

 the best. Some choice Halliday and 

 a few large varieties touched the 25c. 

 mark. There is an oversupply of roses 

 and also violets, considerable lily of 

 the valley and orchids and everything 

 along the line is in large supply. Lil- 

 ies have again shortened, though there 

 is no special demand. 



The market for the last 

 CHICAGO week has been fairly 

 active. Roses have con- 

 tinued in large supply. In the early 

 part of last week stock was accumu- 

 lating a little faster than was com- 

 fortable for the wholesale market, but 

 with colder weather prevailing to- 

 wards the close of the week the sur- 

 plus was disposed of at fair prices. 

 Roses of all kinds are improving in 

 quality and are now nearly up to win- 

 ter standard. Both pink and white 

 Killarney are abundant, the former 

 being of excellent color. Richmond 

 is not quite as plentiful as it has been
