CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



Trade is fairly good, considering ttie 

 time of year. Prices iiave gone down 

 a notcli or two and stock is arriving 

 in considerable supply, yet with no 

 glut in sight up to date. White flow- 

 ers still hold their own. owing to the 

 unusual amount of funeral work. 

 Roses are held at $.5 to $7 for good 

 stock, with fancy long stemmed stock 

 at $8. Owing to Washington's Birth- 

 day, pink and red roses, which have 

 been a little slow for the past few 

 days, were in considerable demand on 

 Monday and Tuesday. 



Carnations are held at $1 to $1.50 

 for good stock, whites $2 and fancies 

 $3, with Bradt, etc., a few points high- 

 er. 



McKellar & Winterson report a 

 good demand for azalea plants, which 

 sell for $12 a dozen. 



The Florist Club. 



Owing to the severity of the weath- 

 er the regular meeting of the club was 

 not very well attended. Four new 

 names were added to the membership 

 list. 



It was proposd to have a musicale 

 the next regular meeting night, if ar- 

 rangements could be completed by 

 that time. The committee — E. Win- 

 terson, J. Reardon and Jos. Reeves — 

 promise a very fine entertainment, 

 several artists having already ten- 

 dered their services. 



At this meeting there was quite an 

 interesting exhibition. H. Streening, 

 104th and Michigan avenue, showed 

 a scarlet seedling carnation. Carter 

 Harrison, a fine flower. Hinsdale Rose 

 Co., Hinsdale, 111., staged a fine vase 

 of a sport from Tidal Wave, very sim- 

 ilar to Evanston. Both were recom- 

 mended for certificates, scoring 85 

 points respectively. 



Mr. A. McAdams exhibited a very 

 fine strain of cineraria, for which he 

 ■was given honorable mention. 



Notes. 



Mr. Cornelius S. Loder, secretary of 

 the National Florists' Board of Trade, 

 New York, was in the city several 

 ■days. 



REGULAR SHIPPING ORDERS RECEIVE 

 SPECIAL ATTENTION.
