 TO DEALERS ONLY. 



The recent influx of 

 BOSTON warm weather has aug- 

 mented the cut of flowers 

 ■ — especially roses — and there is an 

 abundance for evei-y demand. The 

 last few days have seen a falling off 

 in the wholesale trade in consequence 

 and prices to producers will not aver- 

 age as high as at the same date last 

 year. The asters, peas and gladioli 

 are now pretty well recovered from 

 the effects of the storms of two weelis 

 ago, and the quality of blooms coming 

 in is excellent. Roses from young 

 plants are still small, but are improv- 

 ing. Carnot and Kaiserin are still 

 leading as to quality and are more 

 sought after by buyers than any other 

 variety. Beauty is in good supply 

 with demand normal. Gladioli are 

 very abundant, Shakespeare continu- 

 ing to hold first place in the Boston 

 choice. There are no carnations worth 

 mentioning. Asters are fine. Aspara- 

 gus plentiful; plumosus is more abun- 

 dant than ever before at this time, 

 and smilax is suffering on that ac- 

 count. Lily of the valley is good; sup- 

 ply and demand normal. 



Out of door flowers, and 

 CHICAGO a large proportion of 



them wild flowers, are 

 occupying a large space on the count- 

 ers of the wholesalers. Lobelia cardin- 

 alis, particularly, finds ready sale and 

 makes a showy window flower. Gold- 

 enrod is a good companion flower. 

 Carnations are scarcely worth taking 

 into account and really play little part 

 in the market. Roses are improving 

 with each week and some very good

Beauties, Kaiserins, Brides, Brides- 

 maids and Richmonds are coming in. 

 Gladioli now have a rival in dahlias, 

 the first of which appeared this week. 

 They were evidently not needed for 

 they sold slowly. Some straggling, 

 early chrysanthemums may be seen in 

 various places, but these too, seem to 

 have arrived before the demand and 

 are not salable. Asters are at their 

 best, which is not saying much, though 

 there are some very good flowers in 

 the market. Probably one bunch in 



twenty that comes in can be consid- 

 ered first-class, and there is nothing 

 strictly fancy. There is plenty of ev- 

 erything in green stuff e,\cept Aspara- 

 gus plumosus. No better ferns have 

 ever been seen here than are coming 

 in now. Some of the shippers of Mich- 

 igan ferns say their former places of 

 cutting have been destroyed by fire 

 and they have been obliged to hunt 

 new places and have better stock in 

 consequence. Asparagus Sprengeri is
