The Great Central Market. 



The feature of the market at the be- 

 ginning of the new year has been the 

 large crops of American Beauties. Prac- 

 tically every grower is cutting heavily 

 and with several the crop is something 

 enormous. At the same time, most of 

 the houses report an excellent outlet for 

 the stock, at prices which should be sat- 

 isfactory to the growers, in considera- 

 tion of the heavy supply. The quality is 

 excellent and big retailers are buying 

 long Beauties in hundred lots. 



All other roses are equal to the pres- 

 ent demand. The supply is not large, 

 comparatively speaking, and the weather 

 •s exceptionally favorable for rose pro- 

 iluction. The year has started with a 

 week of unusually warm, bright weather, 



far different from that usually experi- 

 enced at this season, and a change to 

 seasonable temperature and cloudy skies 

 will mean a sharp change in market con- 

 ditions, especially on roses. The quality 

 of roses leaves nothing to be desired. 



Carnations, too, show the effects of 

 the bright weather in largely increased 

 production. Many growers have been 

 cutting lightly thus far this season, but 

 it is the general report that crops in 

 sight indicate that production soon will 

 be averaged up and with a continuance 

 of the bright weather we may look for 

 exceptionally heavy supplies of carna- 

 tions in the next few weeks. Any grade 

 of carnations wanted can be had, but 

 the low grade stuff is not so great a 

 factor as it usually is at this season. 

 Most of the stock grades as fancy. 



There is an oversupply of Paper 



Whites and Romans. The short tulips 

 coming in are not readily salable. The 

 call for funeral work makes an outlet 

 for whatever bulbous stock is sold and 

 occasionally creates a flurry in longi- 

 florums and callas. The death record 

 last week set a new high mark for Chi- 

 cago, there being 665 burials. Mignon- 

 ette goes slowly. Stevia finds an outlet 

 for funeral bunches. Some good sweet 

 peas are quickly taken up, but the short 

 stuff hangs fire. 



The violet growers along the Hudson 

 report excellent satisfaction with the re- 

 turns from this market for Christmas 

 and New Year's, and they are giving us 

 all the violets we need. The price has 

 steadily been weakening. This week it 

 ranges from $1 down. 



Cypripediums are abundant and slow 

 sale.
