Flower Market Reports 



At prisent writing there 

 BOSTON is a noticeable sea city in 

 the rose niarl^et and a 

 demand for more than are readily ob- 

 tained. The crop is off, generally, and 

 a cold snap has arrivej just as the 

 mid-win(er gait ties are getting under 

 way. Carnations are about right as to 

 supply fo meet the call. Other things 

 are in full supply and some are too 

 plentiful — for instance, daffodils, jon- 

 quils, lily of the valley and violets. 

 AH these, however, are of excellent 

 quality. There is an alequate supply 

 of cattleyas, and of gardenias there are 

 there than are needed. Calendulas, 

 freesias, pansies, yellow daisies, calan- 

 thes, amaryllis, myosotis, ericas and a 

 variety of other things not usually con- 

 sidered as staple are available in lim- 

 ited quantities and serve to give de- 

 sired variety for flower buyers. 



A week of cloudy wea- 

 BUFFALO ther shortened the sup- 

 ply on most lines and 

 flowers have been rather on the short 

 side. Roses especially have fallen in 

 supply. Floral work was in evidence 

 and a good outlet was had on carna- 

 tions, peas, violets, narcissi, etc. Beau- 

 ties are coming in better quality, 

 though there is no special demand for 

 the long grade. Since the holidays 

 " Beauties have been of poor quality. 

 Richmonds have been fine but supply 

 limited. Spring flowers such as tulips 

 and trumpet narcissi have made their 

 appearance. Freezias are fine. Mig- 

 nonette and stevia have had a good 

 call. Viclets have been on the quiet 

 side. Little or no demand for lily of 

 the valley. 



There has been a rapid 

 CHICAGO tiansit change in the 

 market the past few 

 days, as owing to the prolonged stormy 

 and dark weather stock has shortened 

 up in all lines, naturally increasing the 

 demand. Possibly the shortage most 

 felt is in pink and white roses, it be- 

 ing impossible to secure enough for 

 the local demand alone. Beauties have 

 become crippled and not so good in 

 color, especially so in the long-stem 

 grade.. Carnations have stiffened ow- 

 ing to the scarcity of roses, the de- 

 mand for pink and white being unusu- 

 ally strong. The quality is as good as 

 for the past four or five weeks. The 

 demand for lilies and callas is equal 

 to the supply, although on some days 

 a shortage is reported. Sweet peas are 

 moving nicely as are also tulips, nar- 

 cissi and Roman hyacinths. Mignon- 

 ette has improved again and com- 

 mands a fairer price, the best selling 

 for $«.00 per 100. Jonquils are ob- 

 tainable but quality is not very good, 

 although every day sees an improve- 

 ment. The retailers around town re- 

 port a very active business the past 

 two weeks. Many dinneis, banquets 

 and numerous other large orders have 

 kept them on the alert. 



Business continued 

 CINCINNATI satisfactory for the 

 week ending January 

 14th. Beauties in all lengths are fairly 

 plentiful, with enough to meet all re- 

 quiiemen's. Richmonds are in very 

 light supply and demand. All other 

 teas are more plentiful with the excep- 

 tion of Killarneys and Brides. The 

 shortage of Killarney is very notice- 

 able, with an extra heavy demand. 

 The request for Brides at times is in
