The Market 



A week of hot, muggy weather has 

 not been conducive to good business in 

 the flower markets. Outside of funeral 

 orders and some little shipping to sea- 

 side resorts, demand has been light. 

 Good material continues scarce and sells 

 without any trouble. Roses remain about 

 the same. Some nice Beauties, Carnots 

 and Kaiserins are coming in. A few 

 carnations of the new season 'a crop are 

 arriving. About $1.50 to $2 is secured 

 for the best stock, poorer grades running 

 down to 50 cents. Sweet peas from out. 

 doors have been poor this season, owing 

 to an excess of humidity. The few com- 

 ing in bring 20 cents to 25 cents per 

 hundred. 



Gladioli continue of good quality. 

 Asters are abundant, but many eome 

 spotted, owing to the heavy rains. Some 

 nice Bouvardia Humboldtii comes from 

 one or two growers. There is no change 

 in other flowers or green stock. 



^elch Brok to Move. 



Welch Bros., owing to the continual 

 increase in their business, and finding 

 it impossible to secure additional floor 



space needed at their present location, 

 have decided to move to 226 Devonshire 

 street, Winthrop square, where they will 

 occupy the whole of the first floor and 

 basement, each having over 6,000 square 

 feet of floor space, a total of 12,500 

 square feet, making it the largest whole- 

 sale florists' store in the country. 



The location is an ideal one in every 

 way, convenient to the retsdl flower 

 stores, only a short distance from both 

 terminal stations, and close to the oflSces 

 of the express companies, these accord- 

 ing unexcelled opportunities for the 

 prompt delivery of goods for shipment. 

 The new premises will be fitted up with 

 a large cold-storage plant, ntw counters, 

 .benches, etc., of the most up-to-date 

 pattern and every effort will be made to 

 make it one of the bcOT equipped whole- 

 sale houses on the continent. 



Welch Bros, now have been in busi- 

 ness twenty-eight years. Their receipts 

 and shipments of cut flowers cover every 

 part of New England, as well as outside 

 states. They receive more high grade 

 American Beauty roses than all other 

 New England houses combined. The 

 genial trio of brothers, Patrick, Edward 

 and David, have worked hard to build up 

 this business and it cannot fail to grow 

 and prosper in such able hands.
