Flower Market Reports 



Business is ratlier sulky 

 BOSTON at present writing and 

 sales that count lor much 

 of anything are only made under high 

 pressure and low figures. White car- 

 nations are scarce and with the excep- 

 tion of American Beauty roses they 

 are about the only commodity that is 

 scarce. Enchantress is very plentiful. 

 Lily of the valley cheap and slow to 

 move. There are lots of roses, plenty 

 of lilies, too many violets and daffo- 

 dils, and a sufficiency of orchids. 

 Wholesalers' storage quarters are over- 

 flowing with stock awaiting a buyer. 



There is plenty of stock 

 CHICAGO and it is good, bad and 



indifferent in quality, 

 and upon the quality depends the 

 price. This does not include Beauties, 

 which still are very scarce and even 

 our largest growers would find it diffi- 

 cult to cut 25 first-class Beauties at this 

 time. Richmond affords relief to the 

 situation and so is selling better than 

 is usual at this time of the year. Kil- 

 larneys are giving way to the superior 

 qualities of Brides and Bridesmaids, 

 which stand shipment better this warm 

 weather. Maryland, also, is taking 

 preference over Kallarney and Jardine 

 is making extra heavy long stems and 

 is much in demand in consequence, 

 leading everything in pink except 

 Bridesmaid, Carnations are of all 

 kinds and conditions and inferior stuff 

 is jobbed off at a low price, while much 

 is a total loss. Really good carnations 

 sell at a fair price. Lily of the valley 

 is of good quality and moving well for 

 the Lenten season. Violets are suffer- 

 ing from the warm weather this week 

 and many are left unsold. Easter lilies 

 and callas are seen everywhere but de- 

 mand is light. Bulbous stock has no 

 indication of coming to an end and 

 quality keeps up exceptionally well. 

 Green is in good demand, the call be- 

 ing for asparagus bunches and smilax 

 mostly. 



Business continues 

 CINCINNATI good. Flowers of all 

 kinds with the ex- 

 ception of long Beauties are plentiful 

 and cleaning up, with prices at a 

 lower level. Short Beauties are fairly 

 plentiful but the quality is somewhat 

 poor. The receipts of Richmond, ICil- 

 larney. White Killarney and My Mary- 

 land are on the increase, some excep- 

 tionally fine stock being offered. Bride 

 and Ivory are in heavy crop with the 

 short and medium moving more freely 

 than the fancy grades. Good Brides- 

 maids meet with a fair request. White 

 continues to be the leading seller in 

 carnations, with Enchantress next in 

 line. The coming of southern daffodils 

 in quantity has seriously affected the 

 price of indoor stock. There being 

 only a limited amount of white and 

 lavender Dutch hyacinths. La Reine 

 and Murrillo tulips coming in, they are 

 good property. Pink and purple hya- 

 cinths move more slowly and lilies are 

 plentiful and the demand could be im- 

 proved upon. The call for single vio- 

 lets is very good while the supply of 

 double is more than sufficient. Lily of 

 the valley in fair supply and demand.
