Flower Market Reports 



Roses have flooded the 

 BOSTON market this week and 



the demand has fallen 

 far short .of the supply. An unusually 

 large supply of short stemmed Ameri- 

 can Beauties are to be seen, but they 

 move fairly well. Carnations have 

 also been a feature in the market, the 

 advance in price being due mainly to 

 their excellent quality rather than to 

 a scarcity of stock. Lilies still con- 

 tinue to be scarce as does also lily of 

 the valley. Bulbous stock is not over 

 plentiful and violets are about done. 

 Sweet peas are plentiful and in good 

 demand. Business is normal, how- 

 ever, but as a rule orders are not suf- 

 ficient to make a general clean up. 



The week-end sales used 

 CHICAGO up practically all the 



flowers in the market 

 and left .a clean slate for the opening 

 of the second week in April. Bright 

 days bring out a big supply of stock 

 and sudden drops of temperature and 

 a cloudy spell reduce the supply agate, 

 but the amount coming in the past 

 week has been handled without a loss. 

 Shipping trade is what kept the bal- 

 ance, the demand being more steady 

 than the local call. The middle of the 

 week was quiet, giving wholesalers a

 ties and stock is of splendid quality, 

 while carnations are to be had in ex- 

 tra and in medium grades. Sweet peas 

 are much in evidence at some, hours 

 of the day but all are gone when five

 ty of miscellaneous stock but green is 

 scarce.

CINCINNATI adequate supply of 



stock at the time of

supply will be somewhat shoi't of the 



demand. Business is holding up well
