Trade is reported by 

 BOSTON some dealers as exceed- 

 ingly diiU, by others as 

 remarkably good and by still others 

 as lair for the season. We are dis- 

 posed to accept the last as the most 

 nearly reliable in a general applica- 

 tion. Roses are of very superior 

 quality and there are plenty of them. 

 Most of the gladiolus growers have 

 about reached the end of their cut but 

 others who prepared for a late crop 

 are coming in with good stock and 

 are getting prices considerably better 

 than two weeks ago. There are still 

 some good asters but the greater part 

 of those seen this week are w-eather- 

 beaten and tired looking. The over- 

 supply of lilies seems to have come to 

 an end and market values on the 

 limited number received are doubled 

 up. Carnations are still few and in- 

 ferior. 



Very few good flowers 

 CHICAGO are going to waste. Total 

 sales each day do not 

 make a very large amount because the 

 quantity of stock coming in is not 

 large. The week-end business was very 

 good for September and no one is dis- 

 couraged. Chrysanthemums are not 

 here in any great quantity as yet, but 

 the supply is larger each week and 

 some fancy stock reached, the $4.00 per 

 doz. mark on Saturday. Roses are 

 coming more plentifully but there are 

 still many very short ones, hard to 

 dispose of. Asters are on the wane 

 with too many inferior flowers still 

 with us. Many gladioli, lilies and 

 miscellaneous flowers are brought in 

 and a fair proportion of them are sold. 

 The wild asters and other prairie flow- 

 ers appeared this week. 



Business is good. 

 CINCINNATI The supply of stock 

 is large enough, 

 while the demand for stock is excellent 

 and steady. Roses are in a good sup- 

 ply. The carnation supply is small 

 but good. Lilies are fairly plentiful. 

 Chrysanthemums, white and yellow, 

 are to be had but only in very limited 

 quantities. The dahlia cut is one of 

 the best this market has ever had. 

 They have been selling pretty well. 

 Cosmos is plentiful. 



Business is satisfac- 

 CLEVELAND tory. Prices are 

 about the same as 

 for some time past.. The demand is 

 ample to absorb everything that conies 

 into the market. Stocks are large in 

 most staple lines but not over heavy. 

 No chrysanthemums had arrived up 

 to the -'5th of the month. Lily of the 

 valley and orchids are scarce. A few 

 carnations have begun to arrive as 

 well as seine nice dahlias. 



There have been 

 NEW YORK some spurts of busi- 

 ness since last re- 

 port due to special occasions of a tran- 

 sient nature rather than to any normal 

 seasonal development of demand and 

 there is little in the situation just at 

 present to warrant any confidence in 

 immediate permanent advancement. 

 There is nothing the matter with the 

 quality of the material coming In for 

 as a general rule it is of excellent fin- 

 ish for the season. This is more par- 

 ticularly true of the roses. Lilies are 

 also good and market values have im- 

 proved. Cattleyas will soon be in

plenty. Gladioli and asters are still 

 abundant. Large quantities of cosmos, 

 hydrangea and other garden products 

 are in evidence and their influence 

 upon market values generally is not 

 exactly stimulating. Chrysanthemums 

 are steadily increasing in numbers. 



Business was 

 PHILADELPHIA rather draggy for 



a few days but 

 came around all right. Single roses 

 are more plentiful and of excellent 

 quality, although rather short stemmed 

 as yet. Very few carnations are re- 

 ceived. Dahlias are selling unusually 



well and bringing very fair prices. 

 Asters still continue a strong factor 

 but are beginning to slacken up a 

 little. No change in the cattleya 

 famine. Dendrobiums are seen in 

 limited quantity. Lily of the valley 

 has advanced to ten dollars for the 

 best stock. There are. plenty of good 

 longiflorum lilies and also some fine 

 auratum and speciosum.
