Flower Market Reports. 



Flower market conditions 

 BOSTON remain about tbe same as 



one week ago. Seasonable 

 crops, sucli as chrysanthemums, vio- 

 lets and the first general cut of roses 

 are getting headway and are getting 

 more plentiful each day with prices 

 either stationary or tending downward. 

 Carnations are also increasing in quan- 

 tity, the colored ones selling slowly, 

 but the whites holding their own in 

 satisfactory manner. White roses are 

 also the best sellers, together with the 

 increasingly popular yellow, Aaron 

 Ward. Killarney sells very well con- 

 sidering its abundance, while Bride 

 and Bridesmaid seem to have been for- 

 saken by all buyers, big and little and 

 unless the situation takes a turn the 

 man with either of these on his hands 

 has a mighty hard winter before him. 

 Lily of the valley and American 

 Beauty, ordinarily among the best sell- 

 ers, are this week at the tail-end of 

 the procession as to demand. Cattle- 

 yas are plentiful. 



Chrysanthemums, as us- 

 CHICAGO ual at this season, 



eclipse all other flowers. 

 Stock of this fall favorite seems to be 

 all that could be desired. Rosierre 

 made its appearance last week and 

 with five varieties now in, the season 

 may be considered fairly opened. Re- 

 tailers report the past week as rather 

 dull. No killing frost has yet visited 

 this section and the market is almost 

 . overfilled with autumn leaves, prairie 

 flowers and out-of-door stock in gener- 

 al. The coming in of chrysanthemums 

 and violets, while there is such an 

 abundance of other stock is having its 

 effect. Carnations are the nearest to 

 being scarce of any flower, while there 

 are still asters enough to use as sub- 

 stitutes by the purchaser who does not 

 care to pay the price. Violets, both 

 home-grown and New York, are here 

 in abundance, the latter not always 

 arriving in first-class condition. Roses 

 of all kinds are plentiful and of excel- 

 ent quality. 



Business continues 

 CINCINNATI good. Stock has short- 

 ened up considerably 

 since last report. Beauties are espe- 

 cially fine and bringing better prices. 

 The shortage of tea roses was the 

 most noticeable in pink. The supply 

 of carnations, while on the increase, 

 is not suflScient to meet the demand. 

 The outlook tor a larger supply the 

 coming week is very bright. Chrysan- 

 themums are comin.g in increased 

 quantities. White are cleaned up on 

 arrival, while yellow move more slow- 

 ly. The suiiply of Lilium longiflorum 

 was very limited. Lily of the valley 

 cleans up daily. Violets have made 

 their appearance and are not satisfac- 

 tory, (rreen goods are in fair supply 

 and demand. 



We had a few 

 PHILADELPHIA very hot days last 

 week, which hurt 

 business and stock considerably; but 

 on the whole, trading kept up fairly 

 well, and the record stands as reason- 

 ably satisfactory— all things consid- 

 ered. Chrysanthemums are now be- 

 ginning to show some form and are 

 distinctly the popular favorite in the
