the city market, where the bulk of the 

 plant trade is done, sales are reported 

 as having been very brisk. Everything 

 sold readily and at fair prices. 



The growers are now busy repairing 

 their houses, replanting their benches, 

 cultivating outside stock, etc. 



Chris Bussjaeger contemplates build- 

 ing three new rose houses C0x20. He 

 reports a very brisk spring trade in 

 bedding plants, having sold out very 

 early. 



C. A. Anderson, the Hill Florist, has 

 sold his fixtures and stock to C. Buss- 

 jaeger, and will discontinue his store 

 for the summer months. 



L. L. May & Co. have recently re- 

 ceived a fine importation of bay trees 

 which add a great deal to the appear- 

 ance of their fine store. They are re- 

 pairing some of their houses and may 

 build later in the season. 



I recently noted at one of the grovi'- 

 ers' here some of the new 1897 cannas. 

 Champion is a very large, bold flower, 

 of very dark crimson color; plant a 

 vigorous grower. This is bound to be 

 a popular variety. Klondike also im- 

 pressed me very favorably, both as to 

 its color, a reddish orange, and the 

 general habit of the plant. Duke of 

 Marlborough, with a color and habit 

 similar to Champion, is a decided ac- 

 quisition. A light pink is not only a 

 decided novelty, but is also a beautiful 

 and valuable addition to this interest- 

 ing class of plants. 



HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO M.\R- 

 KET. 



Saturday last ushered in the season of sum- 

 mer dullness, but the days previous to Satur- 

 day saw the demand both local and country 

 ahead of expectations. Roses, especiallv good 

 quality, were very short, and 10 A. M. saw 

 the market so well cleaned up that late or- 

 ders suffered. 



Beauties were in heavy demand with none 

 to meet it, as one house expressed it, "We 

 are sending Meteors for Beauties." Harrisii 

 owing to small supply are having a fair sale. 

 Smllax is suffering owing to the fine quality 

 of Common Ferns now coming in. Carnations 

 are getting smaller and receipts are less and 

 will be until new crop conies in. 



Taken as a whole last week's business makes 

 a good showing compared to former years 

 ?arly everyone satisfied.
