Flower Market Reports 



Conditions have not 

 BOSTON changed materially from 

 last week with the ex- 

 ception oi a shortening up in the sup- 

 ply of American Beauty roses, which 

 naturally has caused an increase in 

 prices. An abundance of other roses, 

 however, has caused a falling off from 

 quotations previously reported. Car- 

 nations have also shortened up and 

 the continued demand holds the mar- 

 ket firm. Sweet peas seem to be the 

 popular flower, and while shipments 

 are large they clean up well. Violets 

 move slowly and the warm weather of 

 the last few days has had a visible 

 affect upon the quality. Lilies are still 

 scarce and lily of the valley, which is 

 much improved, has but little demand. 

 Bulbous stock has also shortened up 

 somewhat, while miscellaneous stock 

 is fairly plentiful. 



The market has eased 

 CHICAGO considerably during the 



past week. The last 

 day of February and the first day of 

 March made a week end that disposed 

 of all the stock to be had and at good 

 prices, but the next week opened with 

 local trade rather quiet. Out of town 

 trade, on the contrary, is keeping up 

 and there is no change in the demand 

 for flowers of all kinds, Roses are a 

 little more plentiful, or seem so, be- 

 cause demand is not quite so strong, 

 while carnations are about as before, 

 the stock of the latter looking stronger 

 and brighter as the season advances. 

 There are plenty of sweet peas now 

 and bulbous flowers are seen in con- 

 siderable quantity and sell at good 

 prices. 



Business continues 

 CINCINNATI to hold up well and 



everything that 

 comes into the wholesale houses 

 clears quickly. The supply is larger 

 than it was a fortnight ago but still 

 up to this time it has not eased up the 

 market to any considerable extent. 

 Shipping business is excellent. Roses, 

 although they are becoming more 

 plentiful, are still short of actual 

 needs. The carnation supply has in- 

 creased somewhat during the past few 

 weeks but not enough to ease the 

 market for this flower very apprecia- 

 bly. Easter lilies find a good market. 

 They are not any too plentiful. Some 

 Rubrum lilies are coming in and they 

 find a ready sale. Callas prove good 

 property. Many fine, large sweet peas 

 are available and meet with an active 

 demand that takes up all of them. 

 Bulbous stock sells well. The list in- 

 cludes jonquils, daffodils, Dutch hya- 

 cinths, tulips and freesia. Other of- 

 ferings are snapdragon, orchids, vio- 

 lets, forget-me-not, wallflower and 

 Baby Primrose.

There was a decided 

 NEW YORK lull in business be- 

 ginning Monday, and 

 a general falling off in prices on most 

 all flowers. American Beauties are 

 the exception. Rose shipments, due to 

 the mild weather, are increasing. Car- 

 nations are not moving well and are 

 in for a fall in quotations. Bulbous 

 stock such as tulips, golden spurs and 

 Victorias are holding their own, but 

 lilies do not go except at concessions 

 in price. Calendulas and daisies are 

 in limited demand but asparagus is 

 selling well. 



Business during the 

 ROCHESTER past week has been 

 good with an abund- 

 ance of funeral work, also social 

 affairs. RoSes have been none too 

 plentiful, but of good quality. Violets 

 are plentiful and of excellent quality, 

 also Murillo and Lorraine tulips, nar- 

 cissus, daffodils, jonquils, calendulas, 

 snapdragon, marguerites, forget-me- 

 nots and mignonette. Carnations 

 have been somewhat scarce. Sweet 

 peas are of good quality but light in 

 supply. Lily of the valley is more 

 abundant. Asparagus and smilax are 

 scarce. 



All kinds of stock was 

 ST. LOUIS more plentiful. Roses 



and carnations were 

 lower in price. Sweet peas showed a 

 greatly increased supply. Violets 

 moved at moderate prices. Greens 

 were in good demand and bulbous 

 stock is moving well.
