Flower Market Reports WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKETS 



The market has been 

 BOSTON well stocked with nearly 



everything this week. 

 Roses are plentiful and cheap, the 

 best sellers being Killarney Queen 

 and double White Killarney, Russell 

 and Cardinal. Lily of the valley Is 

 selling well. Carnations are of good 

 quality, stems longer, flowers larger, 

 and demand good. Violets are plenti- 

 ful, both single and double. Chrysan- 

 themums are in excellent condition 

 and of fine quality. Bonnaffon being 

 n'ost in demand. 



Fall business was going 

 BUFFALO at a good clip until 

 Wednesday last when a 

 cold drizzling rain set in for three 

 days and gave a set-back. The mer- 

 chants having no buying spirit it 

 was up to the wholesaler to carry a 

 little surplus for the time being, es- 

 pecially in the rose line which saw a 

 good adding up. Chrysanthemums 

 were not too plentiful and there was 

 very little to carry along except clean- 

 ings of the early varieties. Bonnaffon is 

 bad, also Josephine, and yellow were 

 in fair supply. Mrs. Weeks was in poor 

 quality, Halliday almost gone, white 

 and pink Ivory coming on though 

 small and the best pink being Pacific 

 Supreme. Pompons are in good sup- 

 ply, fine varieties and have moved sat- 

 isfactory. There are still dahlias and 

 cosmos, but demand is lacking. Other 

 stock plentiful and no shortage exists. 

 Violets bad no life and remained with 

 the merchants.. 



Warm Indian summer 

 CHICAGO weather prevails and 



stock is being huri'ied 

 on rapidly. Chrysanthemums are in 

 the lead with many wholesalers and

for the first time this season the sup- 

 ply has been equal to the demand. All 

 the mid-season varieties are now in 

 and the pompons are coming in quan- 

 tii.v. These are growing in favor each 

 year, letailers claiming they are easier 

 to sell than the larger blooms for they 

 can be used in so many more ways. 

 Beauties are not bringing so high a 

 price as last week. All kinds of roses 

 are to be had in sufficient quantity and 

 carnations may be safely relied upon 

 to fill the largest orders. Eastern vio- 

 lets are naturally affected by the warm 

 weather and shipments are more or 

 less afl'ected. Vines are in remarkably 

 good condition out of doors, no killing 

 frost having occurred at this writing. 

 The various decora- 

 CINCINNATI tions at the ceme- 

 teries for All Saints' 

 and All Souls' Day brought with it a 

 demand that was much better than at 

 any time during the past fortnight. 

 Many of the growers who cater to the 

 trade at these cemeteries on these par- 



ticular days have held their stock tor 

 the better prices there; as a result, 

 the supply in the wholesale houses 

 has been decreased to marketable pro- 

 portions. This also served to make 

 room for increased shipments of roses. 

 These are in good supply and of Al 

 quality. The offering in each variety 

 is complete in every respect. Chrys- 

 anthemums now enjoy the active de- 

 mand. Good, medium-sized stock has 

 no trouble in finding a market. Among 

 the other flowers now offered are cal- 

 las and double violets. As a whole, 

 business is more satisfactory, with 

 prospects of it continuing to hold up 

 nicely. 



There is plenty of 

 WASHINGTON stock in the mar- 

 ket, of all kinds 

 but there is little or no demand for the 

 greater jiart of it. The several large 

 football games held here weekly are 

 increasing the demand for chrysanthe- 

 ums.
