Flower Market Reports. 



This market is making 

 BOSTON mucli better daily clear- 

 ances than was the case 

 last week. In fact, the demand for 

 chrysanthemums, roses and carnations 

 is brisker than at any time during the 

 past three weeks. The receipts of 

 chrysanthemums are very heavy, the 

 call being more active on the medium 

 grades than for the extra fine quality 

 blooms or the lower grade stock. 

 Roses are of excellent size and finish 

 now, but many growers are off crops 

 and there is no longer the heavy over- 

 stock which existed during October. 

 Carnations are also good, but prices 

 remain rather low for the season. 

 Lilies are selling well. Violets are im- 

 proved both in quality and demand, 

 the single ones leading in popularity. 

 Cattlcyas come in freely and find a 

 fair outlet. 



Complaint cannot be 

 BUFFALO made that business was 

 dull the past weuk; al- 

 though no special rush existed trade 

 was quite satisfactory. Early chrys- 

 anthemums are about over and the 

 market is much clearer than a week 

 or two ago. Some choice stock was 

 had and It was consumed quickly. 

 Pompons in various colors were in 

 good supply, the yellow and bronze be- 

 ing the best sellers. Carnations are 

 Improving daily in quality. Roses have 

 also been in good supply, including 

 some choice Radiance and Beauties of 

 superior quality. The demand has 

 been good on all other stock. Greens 

 in good supply.

The market varies from 

 CHICAGO day to day, with too 

 many chrysanthemums 

 as a usual feature. Prices are not 

 satisfactory to the grower and fre- 

 quently not to the retailer. Over pro- 

 duction and the tendency to have them 

 in the market all summer have taken 

 away the old time enthusiasm of the 

 buyers for the once so popular fall 

 flower. Everything cleaned up on the 

 first Saturday of the month, but it 

 was not done in a way to put a great 

 deal of money into the pocket of the 

 average dealer. The big social events 

 are swinging away from the big showy 

 blooms to the more modest flowers. 



Roses are not too plentiful at this 

 writing. Carnations are also in much 

 demand and the price is held steadily 

 at a good figure. The cool pleasant 

 weather is just what violets needed 

 and they are again meeting with favor 

 and the same is true of the sweet 

 peas. 



There was a slight 

 CINCINNATI improvement in the 

 cut flower market 

 the past week. The activity shown on 

 Monday continued through Tuesday 

 and Wednesday. Business was rather 

 quiet Thursday and Friday and the 

 wind up was very good, all stock
