Flower Market Reports 



Trade is booming. The 

 BOSTON week has been a live- 

 ly one, satisfactory to 

 everybody except the bargain hunter. 

 In most places business is actually 

 rushing. Roses are still scarce and 

 not a few of the rose growers are 

 debating with themselves as to the 

 wisdom of concentrating all their ef- 

 forts on getting their crop in on time 

 for Chriftmas. And this is a good 

 sign! Bulb stock is increasing in 

 supply and improving in quality. Vio- 

 lets go reluctantly and seem to be 

 losing caste. Gardenias sell well. 

 Cattleyas overdone for the moment. 

 Carnations elegant in quality and nor- 

 mal as to demand. 



Weather conditions have 

 BUFFALO been bad in this section, 

 one day rain, then zero 

 weather with a spring day following, 

 which has caused cut flowers to come 

 in in an undependable way. Carna- 

 tions are not to plentiful and some 

 days not enough can be had, especially 

 the light colors which have been in 

 heavy demand and have taken the 

 place of roses, on which this market 

 has been short, especially in the short 

 grades of white and pink. Beauties 

 have also shortened in supply and in 

 many cases Richmond have filled out. 

 Giganteum, Harrisii and magnificum 

 lilies and callas have had a good call; 

 also stevia, sweet peas, freesia, Ro- 

 man hyacinths and narcissi. Yellow 

 Prince and La Reine tulips, together 

 with trumpet major and double Von

Sion have been coming In more plenti- 

 ful each day and have sold out daily. 

 Lily of the valley is a little more ac- 

 tive than the week previous. In the 

 violet line, one day there is a clean 

 up and then a quantity carried over 

 awaiting the bargain man. 



A dearth of flowers is 

 CHICAGO the keynote to the con- 

 dition of the flower mar- 

 "ket today. The shortage Is along all 

 lines and those who have a good crop 



of bulbous flowers to place on sale at 

 this time will have something with 

 which to balance accounts of former 

 years in this line. The market has 

 plenty of small and imperfect tulips 

 but there are also many good-sized 

 and perfect blooms, especially in white, 

 which help out the carnation situation. 

 .Jonquils and narcissi are plentiful 

 enough to help wherever their color 

 will permit. Callas, mignonette, Ro-
