Flower Market Reports NEW YORK QUOTATIONS PER 100. To Dealers Only 



CCofitiftued frmn paffe 12^) 



All Stocks have been 

 NEW YORK coming in mucli light- 

 er this week, anil as 

 a consequence the hustle to get the 

 goods has given one the impression 

 that trade in the flower market is look- 

 ing up. As a matter of tact trade is 

 much about the same as last week i. e. 

 generally dull. White flowers tor which 

 there is always a certain demand, have 

 been short. Asters and gladioli have 

 been the principal items on offer in 

 quantity, and the quality has been 

 good. Roses are very much off color, 

 with practically none to be had. hilies 

 have gone up with a jump, easily real- 

 izing 6 to 8c. — somewhat of a difference 

 from last week's dumping process. 



Trade fair Init 

 PHILADELPHIA not much it any 



above the aver- 

 age for previous seasons. Some good 

 judges claim not nearly as good as this 

 time last year. The latter part of the 

 week was cool and that helped consid- 

 erably. Asters and gladioli are the 

 dominant features of the market. 

 Asters, in spots are plentiful and in 

 other places scarce. They have sold 

 out clean, being as a rule preferred to 

 carnations. But the big day of the 

 aster, is yet to come. Wait until we 

 get the mid-season and later varieties 

 — big. refined, classy fellows with long 

 stems — then you will see some asters. 

 The early gladioli are coming in now 

 in good shaiie and they are a vast im- 

 provement on the Southern. Much bet- 

 ter varieties— clean, clear colors, and 

 perfect as to condition. They meet 

 with a ready market and the only 

 surplus we have heard of was some lots 

 that came in Saturday and missed the 

 market. American Beauty roses are 

 not plentiful. Demand fair. Locals 

 nearly over— the best stock now ar- 

 riving being Eastern grown. Mary- 

 land is the best pink rose. There are 

 also good Killarneys. especially in the 

 new double white and double pink 

 strains. Mrs. Taft also holds out pretty 

 good, and proves a fine warm weather 

 rose. Carnations scai-ce and not extra 

 as to quality. Other stocks normal 

 and without special feature wortliv of 

 note.

that is coming into the local market 

 is not of the best and moves poorly 

 and without price. There is enough 

 Al stock coming in to meet all de- 

 mands. During the past ten days rain 

 fell in large quantities and consider- 

 able outdoor stock was beaten down 

 and washed out. Some slight damage 

 was done to a number of the houses. 



The market was in an 

 ST. LOUIS excellent condition all 



during the last week. 

 There is an abundance of stock of 

 all kinds coming in and prices are low 

 on gladioli. America, May, Augusta and 

 Mrs. King are the best sellers. Asters 

 are becoming more plentiful each day 

 and a good consignment of carnations 

 come in daily — roses are poor owing to 

 the extreme hot weather and come in 

 wide open unless cut very tight. A 

 great many odds and ends of outdoor 

 stock is now coming in for which 

 there is very little demand. 



NEW YORK NOTES. 

 E. G. Hill of Indiana arrived home 

 from Europe on Friday last on the 

 Mauretania. 



A. T. Boddington is having a real 

 busy time with Christmas sweet peas 

 and hardy perennials. Mr. Hunt says 

 it is more like a spring rush. 



Hession is busy with planting prepa- 

 rations at Flatbush. He reckons put- 

 ting in close to 80,000 carnations and 

 is using two houses for chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



The attraction in Peter Henderson's 

 window this week has been a pretty 

 display of water lilies in variety. 

 Three tanks are used, running water 

 coming from a miniature water-wheel, 

 the whole being neatly set off with 

 ferns, palms and caladiums in pots.
