In response to pleas from flower growers, Market News Service has reinstated its cut flower price report in one terminal market, Boston. The new report is much better than the old one. It clearly states the number of stems per bunch, the size of the stems, and other factors affecting prices. For example, the Boston price report has 29 categories of lilies, including variety names, quality, and stem length. The report also lists the price range — the least wholesalers were charging and the most. Find it at http://marketnews.usda.gov/ Choose Fruit & Vegetable market news, browse by Terminal market and choose Boston, Only Ornamentals.
