Flower Market Reports 



Business In Boston is "on 

 boston the blink Indeed , the 

 wholesale marl 

 periencing the worst Bwamp thej bave 

 bad lur a long time Chrysantbemums 

 are a veritable avalanche and are part- 

 |j responsible for the present slu 

 conditions. They are magnifici i 

 to quality but the sali a are verj close- 

 ly limited to the medium grad Car 

 nations are also of excellent quality 

 but are being received In unwieldy 

 quantities, the whites having the best 

 of the call. Roses are unloaded with 

 difficulty, especially the older varieties. 

 The newer sorts, such as Ladj minus 

 don, Taff and .Mrs Ward arc enjoying 

 the lion's share of such demand as ex- 

 ists, orchids arc suffering with the 

 rest. Cattlcyas are moving slowly and 

 oncidiums whicb are of superb quality 



in wholesalers' hands. Lilies and 

 lily ol the valley are also in the dumps. 

 Violets are poor in quality and thus 

 far have bad little appreciation in this 

 market 



Flowers of all kinds 



BUFFALO were plentiful the past 

 week and high prices 

 were out of the question. Cold weath- 

 er was looked for and was had though 

 it did not check the heavy supply. The 

 ! frosts have cut the out door 

 out entirely hut heavy rei 

 in ordinary chrysanthemums bave 

 blocked the market. Some select stock 

 is now had and have sold satisfactor- 

 ily. Carnal ions, roses, violets, lily of 

 the vallei and everything is had in 

 plentiful supply. Asparagus, adiantum 

 and all other greens also in good sup- 

 ply 



Last week emphasized 



CHICAGO the change that has 

 come over the market 

 during the past month. If the first 

 part of October was not equal in vol- 

 ume of trade to that of some other 

 years the closing week has changed 

 the totals and both home and ship- 

 ping trade were excellent. Customers 

 no longer made their own prices, but 

 promptly secured the stock and were 

 glad to get it at a fair valuation. Me- 

 dium and poor stock had been a little 

 hard to move, especially in chrysanthe- 

 mums, of which there has been so fai 

 an unusual proportion of stock that 

 tends to keep down prices, but was 

 nearly all cleaned up Saturday and 

 Sunday. The southern orders took 

 away many of the larger chrysanthe- 

 mums, as All Souls' Day usually does, 

 and left the home market in good 

 shape for the new week. The early 

 chrysanthemums are about gone and 

 the later ones are in a little earlier 

 than usual. Pompons are setting more 

 plentiful and a good supply of Zenobia 

 is seen. The demand for cattleyas is 

 reported as a little slow. Roses of all 

 kinds are moving promptly and the 

 scarcity of short stocl eable, 



the standard varieties still having the 

 preference. Carnations are especially 

 fine and the most fastidious buyer 

 could ask for nothing bettet Lily of 

 the valley is good and the supply 

 keeps up to the demand. Excellent 

 green of all kinds to be had. 



The markel during 



CINCINNATI the past fortnight 



has been marked by 



idual accumulation of white roses 



and longiflorum lilies and a I 



glut of Estelle chrysanthemums. By
