Flower Maf&^ Reports 



Business has been \t ry 

 BOSTON unprofitable this week. 



A few little orders are 

 stringing along into the wholesale 

 markets, but altogether they count up 

 pretty small in the final summing up. 

 Roses burst out flat before they can 

 be got into the cooler. Nothing i an 

 be done with carnations and swi-et 

 peas, which are in abundance, damp 

 off in the box from the sultry heat. 

 It is the worst period on record as to 

 weather conditions and effect on flow- 

 ers. The ice dealers are in clover. 



Summer conditions pre- 

 BUFFALO vail and the past week 

 had bad effect on busi- 

 ness in general, also on all green- 

 house material, the wholesaler hav- 

 ing his share of trouble in not 

 only handling the tremendous daily 

 receipts but finding an outlet. Carna- 

 tions and roses, also outdoor sweet 

 peas were had in quantity and clean- 

 up sales on large lots were not to be 

 had. The bargain sign no longer has an 

 effect on the public and the severe 

 hot weather of the past few days has 

 driven the people to cooler parts, 

 where other things are indulged in. 

 Peonies are just about over and can- 

 •didum lilies were on for a few days 

 and have had a fairly good sale. 

 There are plenty of Beauties, also a 

 ■fine lot of summer roses. Kaiserin, 

 Carnot and Maryland have been no 

 ■finer at any time. Ward and Taft are 

 good but lack a demand. It is a mat- 

 ter of the wholesalers carrying all the 

 stock and having whatever is wanted 

 on urgent calls. The coolers have 

 been overworked for some time and 

 it looks as if a rest should come at 

 an early date. 



A very large proportion 

 CHICAGO of stock sold during the 



past week is said to 

 have been confined to peonies. Whe-e 

 home-grown peonies were placed in 

 cold storage they are proving all that 

 could be desired and the supply will 

 last well toward the end of July and 

 prices are not below leaving a margin 

 of profit. Those firms not handling 

 peonies are depending uppn roses and 

 asters mainly, and the latter are now 

 here in quantity. One house had a 

 consignment of 7000 asters and none 

 were lost, though price was not high, 

 many selling for $1.00 per 100. Lily 

 of the valley is still in demand and 

 very fair stock is offered. Carnations 

 of large size and good color are to be 

 had, their appearance rather exceed- 

 ing their keeping qualities. The usual 

 varieties of out-door flowers are here. 

 Gladioli of all shades and with tall, 

 strong spikes are offered in plenty, 

 price averaging more satisfactory to 

 buyer than grower. There is plentv of 

 .good green.

Business must have 

 CINCINNATI bPen paralyzed by 



the heat. Plenty of 

 stock is to be had but few seem to 

 want, it in any quantity. Roses and 

 gladioli are good but they are not 



realizin,? the prices they should. Car- 

 nations are the worst offenders. The 

 local siiiek is good as a whole but the 

 shippert arrives in a soft condition. 

 None bring a good price.
