Flower Market Reports. 



The flower market here 

 BOSTON is surely at the bottom 



of the ladder. Absolutely 

 at a standstill and no appreciable de- 

 mand for anything. Orchids cannot 

 be sold, roses stay with the wholesale 

 ers until they are past their useful- 

 ness, lily of the valley stands like 

 Scotland in the same water which it 

 occupied in its youth and freshness, 

 and sweet peas, excellent in quality 

 and lovely to look upon when they are 

 received — "stay put" until their fra- 

 grance becomes an effluvia. In roses 

 My Maryland, Kaiserin, Augusta Vic- 

 toria and Pres. Carnot are the best 

 sellers— because they have the needed 

 staying powers to withstand a twenty- 

 mile shipment. Killarney, the erst- 

 while favorite is down and out for the 

 time being, owing to its lack of stay- 

 ing power, a calamity which it shares 

 In common with a certain pugilistic 

 champion whose name occupied the 

 premier position in all the daily pa- 

 pers up to July 4. But our champion 

 has a sure chance to recover and Kil- 

 larneys day will return. 



Summer conditions pre- 

 CHICAGO vail and in a general 

 way are not different 

 from those of other years. A long 

 drouth has made the production of 

 good summer stock unusually difficult 

 and yet there are very fair flowers 

 coming into the market. While there 

 are quantities so poor as to be un- 

 salable there is a sufficient amount of 

 fairly good stock to supply the light 

 summer demand. Old American 

 Beauties are holding on longer than

usual and as the new ones are coming 

 in there will be no shortage. Other 

 roses are quite up to the usual sum- 

 mer quality. Carnations are showing 

 the effect of the continued dry spell 

 and are daily becoming smaller. 



We are still suffering 

 DETROIT from a severe drought. 



now lasting over five 

 weeks, with abnormally high tempera- 

 ture during three weeks. What effect 

 this has on all out of door stuff need 

 not be written, but we all know that 

 florists do not pitch their tents near 



the water hydrants. Business has been 

 much better than a year ago and this 

 week will see some tall hustling, es- 

 pecially in the line of automobile 

 decorating. Breitmeyer's have so far" 

 orders for eight autos. Two large 

 trucks of this number will be ex- 

 clusively of natural Beauties. Whole- 

 sale prices have not changed a bit and, 

 in fact, it is difficult to live up to pre- 

 vailing low quotations. As a matter- 

 of fact, it is a case of selling all you- 

 can for whatever you can.
