Business is in a waiting 

 BOSTON mood and the outlook 

 from day to day is as un- 

 certain as the "in agin, out agin" vote 

 of the state of Maine. Carnations are 

 getting better and as soon as the asters 

 get out of the way the carnation may 

 begin to look up. Small roses are too 

 plentiful still; it is next to impossible 

 to find a market for them. American 

 Beauty is notably deficient in finish, 

 not one-quarter of those sent in as spe- 

 cials being worthy of the classifica- 

 tion. A few chrysanthemums, Golden 

 Glow are in now. Among roses the va- 

 riety Radiance is making a grand rec- 

 ord as a long-distance shipper. 



Very little doing, much 

 BUFFALO less than was expected 



the past week especially 

 for a September week when weddings 

 are looked for. There was plenty of 

 material to fill all orders, and no line 

 was scarce of anything. Asters galore; 

 too many of the ordinary, which 

 blocked the sale of the good ones. 

 The cemetery florist is looked for by 

 the dealer, but he only replies that his 

 customers are supplied by their gar- 

 dens. There has been a slight de- 

 crease in the supply of gladiolus, 

 though they are still plentiful and 

 good. In the rose line Beauties a e 

 only fair in quality, other roses gO"d 

 and increasing in supply daily. Some 

 choice lilies and lily of the valley 

 are had, and have shared in the small 

 demand. Greens have shortened 

 somewhat, though not sci

this year to the over-production of as- 

 ters. Certain it is that they have 

 flooded the market for many weeks 

 and the end is not yet in sight. This 

 week, it is impossible to sell gocd as- 

 ters for more than two cents and al- 

 together too large a proportion of the 

 cut is still going into the barrel. 

 Where these flowers are so cheap it 

 cuts into the sales of other flowers 

 and especially is this true when tin 

 "improved back yard" idea has been 

 put into effect and a home-grown crop, 

 as of asters, produced. Between the 

 big crops of gladioli and asters the 

 demand for roses is bound to dimin- 

 ish. Beauties are selling fairly well 

 and stock is good. Carnations are 

 fine for the season. Some excellent 



Killarneys and Brides are seen about 

 the market each day and an especial- 

 ly fine lot were noticed at Hoerber 

 Bros, this week. Green in general is 

 plentiful. Smilax is the only kind 

 that is scarce and this is easy to get 

 if the buyer pays the price. Tube 

 roses are among the flowers that arc 

 side-tracked this year; the demand for 

 them is apparently lacking. Autumn 

 leaves in profusion are now coming in 

 and the window decorations are beau- 

 tiful. 



The first day of this 

 CINCINNATI week started with a 



rush. The supply 

 was larger than the call, which was 

 not small by any means. The activity
