Flower Market Reports. 



The demand for flowers 

 BOSTON is about normal as com- 

 pared with the corres- 

 ponding weeks of last year. The 

 wholesale dealers are not expecting to 

 exceed the record but are solicitous to 

 keep the record from falling down. 

 Quality in stock offered is good, con- 

 sidering the vicissitudes of the season. 

 Asters are moving up to a position of 

 preeminence just now. They are of 

 prime quality and really worth more 

 than the market quotations would in- 

 dicate. Roses remain as before; Kai- 

 serin and Carnot leading — all others 

 lagging behind. Carnations are not 

 much of a factor, but it might be re- 

 corded that the flowers from old, car- 

 ried over plants are the best coming 

 in at present. Lily of the valley has 

 braced up somewhat of late and holds 

 its own commendably. The watering 

 places along the New England coast 

 are seeking for it. Good lilies are com- 

 ing in, exceptionally good for the sea- 

 son. In orchids the only abundant 

 supply is of Cattleya Harrisonije and 

 the flower is too small to command 

 respect from the buyers. 



Business has been quite 

 BUFFALO satisfactory the past 

 week, though there has 

 been no rush of any kind. There is 

 nothing in the cut flower line that is 

 really scarce, but at times a shortage 

 is had on the summer roses, Kaiserin 

 and Carnot. Much short material is 

 received and generally cleans up well. 

 Good carnations are just about seen. 

 Home-grown gladioli in mixed colors 

 begin to accumulate. Eastern lilies 

 have shortened in supply and demand

having improved much since a week 

 ago. Other lilies, such as speciosum 

 and auratum, are in fine quality. 

 Asters of the early variety are rather 

 small in bloom, hut the stems are 

 good. So far the market cleans up 

 well. 



There is a little change 

 CHICAGO in the market condition 



from last week, as stock, 

 while not in much greater quantity, 

 is much improved in quality, as is 

 noticeable from day to day. Pink and 

 White Killarney roses are, as usual, 



the favorites, and now that there is 

 a good new crop supply of these ar- 

 riving, the other roses, outside of 

 Beauties, take a back seat. There is a 

 sprinkling of carnations here and 

 there, but very few are in any condi- 

 tion to boast of, and they are practi- 

 cally a back number. What are 

 shipped in, however, are sold readily. 

 Asters are much more encouraging in 

 quality the past few days and some 

 really good flowers are now to be 

 had at all wholesalers. Easter lilies
