Flower iVlarket Reports. 



Chrysanthemums are com- 



BOSTON ing on apace but the call 

 holds out very encourag- 

 insly and prices have not been liroken 

 on good material so far. White and 

 yellow sorts are best sellers. Halliday 

 leading in the latter. Roses are on 

 full crop. Beauty sells well and with 

 lily of the valley shares the best of 

 the demand. In carnations, which are 

 now coming in excellent quality. Pink 

 Delight is the favorite variety and this 

 popular sort is surely in tor a good 

 record throughout the coming season. 

 Violets are good but there is no de- 

 mand for them. There are a few nice 

 sweet peas in evidence this week. 

 Southern smilax, laurel and cut box- 

 wood are enjoying an unprecedented 

 demand for so early in the season. 



For the past three 



BUFFALO weeks this market has 

 been in good condition 

 and no complaint can be made. Car- 

 natipns are coming on more freely. 

 Dahlias and cosmos have been in good 

 supply and have moved well. Such va- 

 rieties as Jack Rose, Nymphaea, Ara- 

 bella and Sylvia have had a good call 

 though the 20th Century has sold 

 quite satisfactory this season. Chrys- 

 anthemums are coming on in good 

 supply, the Indian summer weather of 

 the past week has brought them on 

 faster than desired. Such varieties as 

 October Frost, Bergmann, Kalb, Polly 

 Rose, Pacific Supreme and Monrovia 

 are had in quantity and quality. The 

 beauty demand has fallen off some- 

 what and the coolers are doing their 

 part in holding them. Also other roses 

 which have been quite plentiful. Lily 

 of the valley has sold well. Business 

 in general has been good. 



Too many flowers and 



CHICAGO too few buyers is the 

 general complaint as 

 the last half of October begins. The 

 month opened cool and after several 

 days in which the thermometer stood 

 close to the freezing point it slowly 

 rose and by the middle of the month 

 S2 degrees was reached and held stead- 

 ily. The effect on stock can be readily 

 imagined. With fall trade hardly un- 

 der way and all the flowers the market 

 could handle in most lines already 

 here the extremely warm weather has 

 brought on stock in great quantities. 

 Beauties and chrysanthemums are suf- 

 fering most, but carnations and roses 

 are both feeling the summer weather. 

 Apprehension for the Thanksgiving 

 stock prevails as blooms are opening 

 up at an alarming rate. Violets are 

 again out of season just as they were 

 beginning to be considered in. As 

 heretofore those who have a big ship- 

 ping trade are the ones who can dis- 

 pose of their stock to advantage, par- 

 ticularly of chrysanthemums. 



Prevailing Indian sum- 



DETROIT mer weather, with more 

 than ordinary high tem- 

 perature, is holding business back. 

 Carnations are ruling extremely high, 

 the best quality of Enchantress. White 

 Cloud and Flamingo selling at $4.00 

 per 100. So far the handling of chry- 

 santhemums has not been very profit- 

 able. Growers ship the cut blooms 

 not fully developed and without first 

 keeping them in a cool room and soak-
