The Weekly Florists' Review. 



337 



CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



There is nothing new to report in re- 

 gard to the marliet. Owing to the con- 

 tinued large death rate white flowers 

 are still scarce and consequently in 

 greatest demand. Prices are somewhat 

 lower on Dink and red stock this week. 

 Roses are held at from $4 to $S for 

 white: colored, $4 to ?6. 



Carnations sell fairly well at about 

 last week's quotations. Some splen- 

 didly grown Tidal Waves were seen at 

 Amling's with long, erect stems, which 

 were nearly equal to Triumphs. 



In the bulb line all white stock 

 moves without much difficulty, though 

 it must be confessed at rather low fig- 

 ures. Callas were seen in fine shape 

 at S. B. Winter's. 



Notes. 



Messrs. Kennicott Bros. Co. are now 

 ■doing business in their large new 

 basement quarters at 42-44 Randolph 

 street. They have more than double 

 floor capacity, with excellent facilities 

 for cooling purposes, etc. They are 

 very enthusiastic over their present lo- 

 cation and anticipate a fine spring bus- 

 iness. 



Mr. A. Lange celehrated liis eighth 

 anniversary in the florists' business on 

 Monday. A handsome floral display 

 was made and in the evening he enter- 

 tained a few friends. One of the fea- 

 tures of the evening's entertainment 

 ■was the interesting talk by Mr. Peter 

 Barr, the eminent London seedsman. 



Mr. Klunder, with J. Mangel, made 

 a. handsome design for the funeral of 

 the general superintendent of the 

 Adams Express Company. The design, 

 a scroll, was contributed by the Chi- 

 cago employes and was one of the 

 handsomest pieces ever executed in 

 Chicago. About 6,000 violets and 1,000 

 valley were used. 



Bowling. 



The Bowling Club rolled three 

 Sames at Mussey's alleys last Friday 

 night. Quite a number were in attend- 

 ance and the following scores were 

 made:

^" CORRECTION. 



In our last issue, page 320, the price 

 of carnations, in the advertisement of 

 W. G. Kraber should have read $1.50 

 per 100 instead of $7.50.
