F'or the past few days 

 BOSTON the weakening process 



has been going on under 

 the influence of mild atmosphere and 

 bright skies, which is rapidly pushing 

 along the roses and carnations and 

 assures us that the period of scarcity 

 is about gone for this year. Carna- 

 tions are perhaps, feeling the situa- 

 tion more than the roses thus far. 

 Indeed, one rose — American Beauty — 

 continues scarce and the wonderful 

 hold which this rose has upon the 

 people is well demonstrated by the 

 maintenance of near-holiday values all 

 through the past month. Violets are 

 still a disappointment, the sales being 

 limited and slow. Bulbous flowers are 

 in larger receipt than they have been, 

 trumpet daffodils being far in excess 

 of normal needs and prices cut in two. 

 Even lily of the valley is overweighted, 

 but the quality is very fine. Cattleyas 

 are selling for about one-half of the 

 -January quotations. 



Spring - like weather 

 BUFFALO wa^s had throughout 



most of the past week 

 and trade was generally good on all 

 lines. Spring flowers had a good call, 

 with a tendency to check slightly the 

 sale of carnations. There are too 

 many of the ordinary carnations and 

 not enough of the good. This is true 

 especially of white which have been 

 altogether too plentiful. For McKin- 

 ley Day only a light demand was had. 

 Beauties are scarce and prices rule 

 high, though there is no special de- 

 mand. Other stock in ample supply.

There is still difficulty 

 CHICAGO in securing stock enough 



to fill the normal re- 

 quirements of the market, and late or 

 unusual orders are very apt to be 

 filled in part only. As has been the 

 case for several weeks, roses are the 

 farthest from being in sufficient sup- 

 ply. With continued dark weather, 

 there is little chance of an immediate 

 improvement. Now and then a fortu- 

 nate grower has a house of Killarneys 

 which is producing some excellent 

 blooms, in spite of conditions, and 

 these are bringing the highest prices. 

 American Beauties in general are not 



as good as usual at this season, but 

 as in the case of roses there are good 

 exceptions. The greater portion of 

 them are inclined to be a little off 

 color owing to dark weather. Quite 

 a fair quantity of tulips are coming 

 now and include some extra fancy, as 

 well as many very small ones. The 

 butterfly sweet peas are a little more 

 plentiful and of fine quality. There 

 are some unusually good freesias, far 

 superior to the old variety in the mar- 

 ket now. Lily of the valley is good 

 and selling well. Cattleyas are still 

 in excess of demand, and ferns sell 

 at $J.50 per 1,000.
