Flower Market Reports. WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKETS.- 



PbK lUU. 

 TO DEALERS ONLY. 



This market shows a very 

 BOSTON pleasing improvement in 



tone. Roses and carna- 

 tions are short in supply as compared 

 with the demand. Violets have taken 

 a big spurt, due in part to the football 

 games and the inspiration has per- 

 meated the market in a manner to 

 make glad the heart of the producer, 

 Ciirysanthemums are still in full tilt. 

 The best bring paying prices — the 

 worst go for a song. There are fine 

 sweet peas now at 50 to 75 cents a 

 hundred and snapdragon has taken a 

 position among the choice things, 

 bringing unprecedented prices for the 

 season. The outlook is propitious. 



Inclement weather dur- 

 BUFFALO ing the whole of last 

 week brought trade al- 

 most to a standstill. There was noth- 

 ing doing until Saturday, when the 

 day brightened and a good surplus was 

 disposed of. The sale of Beauties has 

 been light, also everything along the 

 line, except carnations, which have 

 shortened in supply. There are plenty 

 of all giades of chrysanthemums, also 

 roses, violets, lily of the valley, lilies, 

 stevia, mignonette, narcissi and the re- 

 tailers practically have had their own 

 way as to prices. 



Flower show week has 

 CHICAGO the reputation for be- 

 ing a dull one in the 

 market and this one wa*i no excep- 

 tion to the rule. Stock was cleaned 

 up at what it would bring rather than

be allowed to accumulate. This was 

 particularly true of chrysanthemums 

 and the growers of these flowers have 

 an opportunity this year to study the 

 effects of growing poor stock. The 

 great quantities of poorly grown flow- 

 ers have been worked off at a low 

 figure and the buyer has come to re- 

 gard a low price as his right on the 

 better grades. One of the growers 

 was heard to remark that his good 

 blooms brought little more than his 

 poor ones because customers had be- 

 come accustomed to a low price. 

 There is plenty of firsi-class stock in 

 the market, chrysanthemums included, 

 and prices on roses and carnations 

 are satisfactory. Cattxeyas are scarce 

 ana price has advanced. 



There was a steady 

 CINCINNATI improvement in me 



market the past week. 

 The demand is more regular, and 

 prices slightly better than at any time 

 during the past fortnight. The out- 

 look for a continuance of the present 

 conditions is very encouraging, judging 

 fiom inquiries received for flowers the 

 coming week and Thanksgiving only 

 a little over a week in advance of this 

 wriiing. There is a little let-up in the 

 supply of good white chrysanthemums, 

 while yellow is coming in more freely, 

 with Major Bonnaffon and Col. Apple- 

 ton in their prime; all pompon varie- 

 ties meet with a brisk demand. Beau- 

 ties are going off crop and i>rices about
