Flower Market Report s WHOLESALE FLO WER MARKETS— J^^ 



PRICES - 



Considering the prox- 

 BOSTON imity of tlie final Christ- 

 mas drive, the market is 

 in a very perplexing state. Green- 

 houses are not producing and sales- 

 men are cutting holiday orders in 

 half on both roses and carnations. 

 Long varieties of the former are im- 

 possibly expensive and the great bulk 

 of business is being done with the short 

 lengths. Chrysanthemums have entire- 

 ly disappeared. Trumpet narcissi have 

 made their season's first appearance 

 this week. More calendulas could be 

 disposed of if they could be obtained. 

 Violets are in heavy demand, and are 

 rather plentiful. The old favorite 

 stevia is not passing unnoticed. Large 

 shipments have been sold and more 

 Is still demanded. Lily of the valley 

 has again reached empyrean heights, 

 striking the Jin mark. 



Business good, stock 

 BUFFALO scarce and prices rul- 

 ing high. The supply 

 of carnation for past two weeks baa 

 been very short, which has been help- 

 ing the sale of short and medium 

 roses, lilies and other stock. Fancy 

 and special grades in roses are plenti- 

 ful enough to take care of the demand 

 but the merchant that has floral work 

 is inconvenienced at times in securing 

 material for this special purpose. 

 There are good lily of the valley, vio- 

 lets and narcissus but chrysanthe- 

 mums are practically ended except the 

 Guenther Late Hamburg White. These 

 blooms are ordered days in advance 

 and sell at $15.00 to $35.00 per 100. 

 Beauties are in normal supi)ly and no 

 special demand. The quality has been 

 only ordinary. The sale of holly, 

 laurel and other decorative stock has 

 exceeded previous years. The plant 

 trade is excellent with the supply 

 rather short all around. 



Stock of all kinds is 



NEW YORK very scarce in this 



market at the present 



time. Prices are high and the pros-

pects are that by Saturday they will 

 be still higher. From all indications 

 it is safe to say that flowers generally 

 will be limited in supply for Christ- 

 mas deliveries although there is a pos- 

 sibility that Monday may see a se- 

 rious set-back. While carnations are 

 in very moderate crop, the outlook 

 for roses is for a pretty heavy cut at 

 the wind-up and the sale is likely to 

 suffer on account of the prices de- 



manded in advance. Cattleyas are 

 not in oversupply but gardenias are 

 more plentiful than of late. For ad- 

 vance orders pretty stiff prices are 

 quoted. The figures at which Christ- 

 mas deliveries are booked at present 

 writing are approximately — Beauties, 

 $75 to $100 for specials: other roses 

 all the way from $5 to $25 with the 

 exception of Hadley. which will run to
