Flower Market Reports. WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKETS.-xo db^aTe^b-only. 



The market moves rather 

 BOSTON sluggishly this week. 



There is some business 

 being done, of course, but it can hard- 

 ly be classed as up to normal. Chrys- 

 anthemums are at their heaviest now 

 and all the out-of-town florists who 

 are ordinarily buyers in the wholesale 

 markets who have greenhouses are 

 growing chrysanthemums in greater or 

 less quantily and they will not buy 

 anything else so long as these last if 

 they can avoid it. Carnations are com- 

 ing in freely and selling nt what are 

 considered inadequate figures, probably 

 lower than anywhere else in ihe coun- 

 try at the present time. All roses are 

 very abundant, with sales at low 

 prices, Beauty included. Violets go 

 a little better than they have done of 

 late. Cold weather is needed. 



The long-looked-for kill. 

 BUFFALO ing frost was had Ihe 



past week and, with con- 

 tinued cold weather, by the end of the 

 week the market had practically re- 

 covered from an over-supply conditioa. 

 In chrysanthemums some choice Bon- 

 naffon, Duckham, Appleton, Golden 

 Eagle, Alice Byron and President Taft 

 are had and the choice stock has had 

 a good call. This market has had a 

 good proportion of the yellow variety, 

 Robert Halliday. Carnations shoit- 

 ened in supply, as well as roses, but 

 there have been enough to fill all or- 

 ders. Lilies continue ,?ood and plenty 

 of them; also lily of the valley, cattle- 

 yas and violets. Beauties in all grades 

 have had a better demand.

For once the wholesaler 

 CHICAGO and the retailer think 



alike; they are rejoicing 

 in the killing frost which came in 

 "dead" earnest Oct. 27th and all 

 flowers, vines, etc. are gone for this 

 year. Trade was stimulated at once 

 and a different feeling pervades the 

 entire wholesale district. While no 

 sudden raise in prices was made a 

 wholesale change in the general con- 

 ditions of supply and demand was 

 easily discerned. Oak leaves and 

 vines, the blue gentian and the other 

 flowers of the prairies are all gone 

 and the chrysanthemum reigns su- 

 preme. Even the Beauties and or- 



chids have second place this week for 

 the quantity of chrysanthemums re- 

 quires room for handling. Prices are 

 not satisfactory and there is much 

 stock which might better have not 

 been grown. It is a question of sell- 

 ing good stock to good advantage now 

 that so many chrysanthemums are 

 grown and the grower who heeds this 

 is the one who will have his balance 

 on the right side of his ledger. So 

 many market gardeners grow a crop 

 of chrysanthemums in the summer 

 and so many retail florists grow one 

 or more houses of them that the quan- 

 tity thrown upon the market is each 

 year more and more, till one can 

 easily see where the grower is drift-
