Flower Market Reports 



Tilings are very quiet 

 BOSTON at present in this mar- 

 ket. Let us hope that it 

 is only "the calm before the storm" — 

 a storm of business that will clean up 

 every plant and every vestige of a 

 flower in greenhouse, market and store! 

 Prices asked are somewhat higher on 

 some things than is usual so long ahead 

 of the Christmas call. This applies 

 particularly to carnations. The sale of 

 these has declined noticeably, undoubt- 

 edly due in part to the fact that the 

 price demanded makes the retail dealer 

 reluctant to buy unless it is absolutely 

 necessary and there is an abundance of 

 other things that can usually be sub- 

 stituted in made-up work. On roses 

 there is very little change. They ap- 

 pear to be in ample supply for all 

 needs. Hillingdon has stiffened up 

 some in price and American Beauty 

 has advanced to $6.00 and $7.00 a dozen 

 for those of highest quality and fine 

 finish, but none other than these can 

 approach these figures. Violets are up 

 in price and there are not many offered 

 this week, although there is a suffi- 

 ciency for the small demand encount-

ered. No doubt there will be plenty of 

 them next week as well as heaping 

 counters of bulbous stock, stevia, sweet 

 peas, etc. The question of Christmas 

 quality on most things, particularly 

 roses, depends much upon the sort of 

 weather handed out to us for the next 

 few days. Up to time of going to press 

 with this paper it is warm, with fog 

 and rain. 



The days are nearlng 

 'BUFFALO the holiday season and 



things are beginning to 

 look as if another good hustle will 

 soon be on. Holl.v is coming in, also 

 decorating material, in good supply, 

 and to date has had a good sale and 

 the demand constantly growing. The 

 merchants are busy in making up.
