Flower Market Reports 



Business has picked up 

 BOSTON a little within a few 

 days and is decidedly 

 improving as compared with condi- 

 tions of a week ago. Roses are es- 

 pecially showing strength. Violets 

 have weakened in price and carna- 

 tions remain about stationary. Or- 

 chids are again plentiful — particularly 

 Cattleya Triana. Gardenias have 

 broken badly, largely on account of 

 shipments from Philadelphia, where 

 they appear to be in excess of re- 

 quirements. Lily of the valley is plen- 

 tiful and selling at normal rate. 

 Lilies also move fairly well. Lilac is 

 a staple just now. of excellent quality 

 and gradually making for itself a 

 place in the local market. 



Since the holidays, trade 

 BUFFALO has been a little on the 

 quiet side, though it 

 cannot be said that business has been 

 dull, the weekly calendar being filled 

 with receptions, balls, etc. The mar- 

 ket has been in good condition and 

 has cleaned up daily except on one or 

 two lines. Beauties have had no de- 

 mand whatever and seemed to remain 

 with the wholesaler, while not enough 

 Richmonds could be had. Violets and 

 lily of the valley are in good supply, 

 but demand somewhat weak. Carna- 

 tions are coming in more plentifully 

 and some choice stock is received. Bea- 

 con and Enchantress have had the best 

 sale, while Pink Delight, Melody and 

 Ideal are good and sell readily. Nar- 

 cissi are a little too plentiful. Roman 

 hyacinths, lilie.s and peas shared in the 

 demand. Too much smilax at present, 

 but other greens sold well. 



A decrease in the quan- 

 CHICAGO tity of stock coming in 

 is the main point of dif- 

 ference this week from that of last. 

 While there is plenty to go around 

 and no one need fear that his order 

 may not be readily filled there is less 

 to be found by the late comers and 

 customers can no longer dictate 

 prices. Beauties feel this change as 

 much as any flower now in the mar- 

 ket, and long ones are more quickly 

 disposed of than the short grades, a 

 condition just the opposite of a week 

 ago. Roses are of excellent quality 

 and the market has few left each day. 

 There are some especially fine Kil- 

 larneys and those growers who have 

 dropped Bridesmaid in their favor are 

 not regretting the change. Carna- 

 tions may be had at all prices and 

 the best ones are well worth the price 

 asked. Quite a number of bursted 

 calyxes are seen and these sell at one- 

 half price for funeral work. Tulips 

 are here too early to find a hearty 

 welcome. Lilies are plentiful enough 

 to meet the demand. Orchids locally 

 grown supply small orders and peas, 

 violets and lily of the valley move 

 along fairly well. It is thought that 

 ferns may advance in price on ac- 

 count of the increased charges for 

 cold storage. 



Conditions in the cut 

 CINCINNATI flower market have 

 been fairly satisfac- . 

 tory since the beginning of the New 

 Year. Roses are less plentiful. A 

 heavy crop for the holidays has re- 

 sulted in some shortening of receipts. 

 Beauties have fallen to their normal 

 mid-winter price, with the medium
