The Market. 



The supply of cut flowers has in- 

 creased since a week ago, but business 

 continues good for the season. Roses 

 are coming in more freely, but the ma- 

 jority of the flowers are short-stemmed 

 and of inferior quality. Some flowers, 

 however, are arriving of a remarkably 

 good grade and bring excellent prices. 

 The best Beauties make $20 to $25 per 

 hundred. Some fancy hybrid teas bring 

 $8 to $12 per hundred, the stems of 

 these being eighteen to thirty inches 

 long. . Even the smallest of the short- 

 stemmed grades clean up nicely. 

 Stanley is proving a fine summer rose, 

 as well as Maryland, Double White Kil- 

 larney and Ophelia, and some good Rus- 

 sells are beginning to arrive. A few 

 short-stemmed carnations appeared last 

 week. Lilies are abundant and sales 

 on them now drag considerably. Sweet 

 peas are scarce and of poor quality. 



Gladioli continue in overwhelming 

 supply and sell in the main at unprofit- 

 able prices, a good many going as low 

 as $10 per thousand. Asters are not 

 yet at all abundant and sell well. Some 

 fine indoor stock makes $4 to $5 per 

 hundred and outdoor flowers bring $1 

 to $3 per hundred. The crops are a 

 failure with many growers. A good 

 deal of cosmos is seen, but it sells 

 poorly. Among the miscellaneous flow- 

 ers are Buddleia magnifica, hunneman- 

 nia, Liatris pycnostachya, lupines, an- 

 nual larkspurs and sweet sultans. Cat- 

 tleyas are scarce, with a light demand. 

 Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri 

 move slowly. 



Various Notes. 



The new salesrooms of the Waban 

 Rose Conservatories, at 4 and 5 

 Winthrop square and 261 Devonshire 

 street, opened for business August 29. 

 The whole of Boston 's wholesale cut 

 flower industry is centralized in or 

 about Winthrop square. The new sales- 

 rooms are up-to-date and wonderfully 

 light, with ceilings fifteen feet high. 

 They are bound to be cool and com- 

 fortable. Nothing has been left un- 

 done to make the salesrooms convenient 

 and up-to-date, the clerical department 

 having been as well considered as the 

 salesrooms. The ice chests are roomy. 

 By an ingenious process ice is hoisted 

 above the chests and the cakes are 

 pushed into their compartments with
