Flower Market Reports WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKETS.- 



Stock is accumulating 

 BOSTON rapidly in the city whole- 

 sale marts and values 

 have taken a substantial drop on large 

 quantities of any kind of stock, al- 

 though on small selections the quota 

 tions do not vary greatly from those 

 of last week. There are practically no 

 American Beauties in this market 

 worthy of the name, but of all other 

 roses there is an abundance. Carna- 

 tions are still enjoying a good demand 

 and are cleaned out satisfactorily 

 from day to day. Bulb flowers are 

 exceedingly plentiful with prevailing 

 prices below cost of stock and pro- 

 duction. A^iolets are away down lower 

 than ever before at this season. Sweet 

 peas are plentiful and many have a 

 hard job to find a customer, but those 

 with long stems seem to find a ready 

 market still. Length of stem seems 

 to count for more than quality of 

 flower with sweet peas at present. 

 Lilies are in full supply, with modev 

 ate call. The best being received here 

 are from Burns of Spring Val- 

 ley. N. Y.. and despite the dis- 

 tance they have to travel they display 

 remarkable substance and endurance. 

 Sales of gardenias are slow and the 

 same is true of cattleyas. 



Bright weather the past 

 BUFFALO week brought on a good 

 supply of everything. 

 There is no shortage in the rose or car- 

 nation line, the latter being in good 

 supply. Some excellent Killarney, 

 Richmond, White Killarney, Bon Si- 

 lene, and other roses are in and are 

 having a good call. Violets and lily 

 •of the valley have been on the quiet 

 «ide, but sweet peas have sold well.

There are plenty of lilies and bulbous 

 material. 



Chicago market respond- 

 CHICAGO ed very quiclrly to the 



few days of sunshine. 

 Stock increased quickly and business 

 was active during the past week. The 

 second week in March finds trade com- 

 paratively slow but stock still not 

 plentiful enough to go to waste, the 

 previous week having used up every- 

 thing. Roses especially were scarce 

 when compared to the demand and 

 Saturday they were entirely sold out. 



Carnations, too, were scarce and only 

 bulbous stock available near the close 

 of the day. Beauties are good but 

 scarce, especially long ones, and at this 

 writing medium roses of all kinds are 

 in short supply. There are plenty of 

 good tulips in the market and selling 

 well. All bulbous stock is bringing in 

 good returns this week and the supply 

 is expected to hold out till Easter. 

 Quantities of violets are seen and are 

 moving slowly. A good supply of mis- 

 cellaneous stock is on the counters and
