Flower Market Reports WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKETS 



The flower market is in 

 BOSTON a healthy condition in all 



respects this week. Roses 

 are doing well. The new Madame 

 Russell has the call over all others. 

 Among the older standbys the best 

 sellers are Double White Killarney, 

 Cardinal, Mrs. Taft, Killarney Queen 

 and American Beauty. The only 

 chrysanthemums seen in quantity thus 

 far are October Frost and Golden 

 Glow. The stock of these varies 

 greatly, some very inferior blooms be- 

 ing among them. Carnations have 

 stiffened up in price, but are still short 

 in stem, although fair otherwise. 

 There is still quite a supply of glad- 

 ioli. Gardenias are plentiful. Lilies 

 are selling all right, also lily of the 

 valley. There is an abundance of fine 

 double corn flowers in this market. 

 Of violets there are more than enough 

 for the demand. 



A continued scarcity of 

 CHICAGO stock is making business 

 very quiet and there is 

 no immediate prospect of a decided 

 change. Fortunately the city demand 

 is comparatively light and so shipping 

 trade, which is fully up to the average, 

 can be taken care of. Roses, which 

 have perhaps been more in demand 

 and less in supply than any other 

 stock are coming in a little more free- 

 ly but are not yet equal to the demand. 

 Some fine dahlias appear each day and 

 this flower appears to be gaining in 

 popularity, especially when arranged 

 tastefully in baskets, etc. American 

 Beauties are of good quality now and 

 the best grades are on four-foot stems. 

 Very tew asters are seen. Some fine lily

of the valley is again on the counters. 

 It is worthy of note that the five 

 varieties of chrysanthemums in the 

 market now are all Elmer D. Smith's. 

 They are Smith's Advance, October 

 Frost, Golden Glow, Unaka and Mon- 

 rovia. 



The supply of stock 

 CINCINNATI in the market is 



somewhat short of 

 the general demand for same. The cold 

 weather seems to have put a heavy 

 check on the receipts and it has taken 

 almost until now to bring them 

 around to a normal cut. For the past 

 week the cuts of roses coming into 

 each wholesale house have steadily in- 

 creased until now they are in a fair 

 way to take care of the demand. They 



are all good and all sell at top prices. 

 The carnation supply is just beginning 

 to steady itself; while generally of a 

 regular size it has been errafic at 

 tinies. When some particular color or 

 variety was wanted most it would be 

 the hardest to get. The following day 

 would see enough of the desired col- 

 or and probably more. too. The sup- 

 ply of pink is by far the largest. All 

 other flowers are selling nicely but 

 their supply is none too large. Lily 

 of the valley is selling well and more 

 might easily be used. The same ap- 

 plies to chrysanthemums, lilies, dahl- 

 ias and cosmos. Some choice orchids 

 are also to be had. Green goods busi- 

 ness is excellent.
