Flower Market Reports 



The Harvard-Yale foot- 



BOSTON ball game Saturday, Nov. 

 25, helped trade very ma- 

 terially last week. Intensity and 

 Strimptun, chrysanthemums and Har- 

 ry Fenn, carnation, being especially in 

 demand. This episode, with the pros- 

 pect of Thanksgiving Day, the great 

 New England festival, sufficed to set 

 the florist trade into action and prices 

 began to move upwards. The ship- 

 ping trade, as usual, came in to help 

 the upward trend of the market and 

 up to Tuesday evening the conditions 

 were quite favorable but on Wednes- 

 day the inevitable reaction set iu and 

 prices sagged, due in a great measure 

 to local apathy and the discontin- 

 uance of the shipping business. The 

 market is well supplied with every- 

 thing and on roses, carnations and 

 violets the overstock has broken the 

 price in half. 



Business brightened up 



BUFFALO considerably and was 

 good throughout the 

 week. There was enough stock to 

 supply the demand, but a slight short- 

 age on the short grade of roses, espe- 

 cially Killarney and Richmond. The 

 demand fell on carnations which were 

 not over plentiful. Some very choice 

 Pink Delight, Perfection and Beacon 

 are had and they have had a good 

 sale. Chrysanthemums continue 



good, also lily of the valley, the latter 

 selling well. Narcissus, Roman hya- 

 cinths and stevia are added to the 

 list. Floral work was in demand and 

 helped to consume a good portion of 

 the surplus. 



Plenty of chrysanthe- 



CHICAGO mums for Thanksgiving 

 is the outlook at this 

 writing, Monday, the 27th, but there 

 is no accumulation of stock and or- 

 ders are coming in steadily leaving 

 the final outcome uncertain. Roses 

 are shortening in supply and prices 

 on fancy stock are apt to be in favor 

 of the grower while Beauties, as re- 

 ported last week, are off crop general- 

 ly. Carnations have been short in sup- 

 ply all the late fall and with the ap- 

 proach of the holidays are in greater 

 demand than ever, even though the 

 complaints of sleepy stock are quite 

 frequent. The warm weather is sup- 

 posed to be the cause of this trouble. 

 Sweet peas are coming in rather slow- 

 ly and demand for good stock is brisk. 

 Violets are selling well and prices ad- 

 vanced this week. In lilies the sup- 

 ply and demand are about equal. All 

 kinds of green help out the stock. 



While the market 



CINCINNATI will not be very 

 long on stock for 

 Thanksgiving, early reports from the 

 growers indicate that they will have 

 enough to go around. A general hold- 

 ing back by many starting last week 

 brightened up the market. All the junk 

 that had accumulated in the ice boxes 

 has been cleaned up, and now prac- 

 tically all offerings are Al in quality. 

 The shipping demand continues 

 strong. The late varieties of chrysan- 

 themums are now in and soon, out- 

 side of a few very late varieties, they 

 •will be a thing of the past. The White 

 and Yellow Chadwick, White and Ma- 

 jor Bonnaffon are the favorites now. A 

 heavy cut of Diana is arriving each 

 day. All roses clean up quickly and
