The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



SEPTKMBER 15, 1S9S. 



CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



The pool weather continues and the 

 supi)ly has shortened up materially. 

 so much so that all stock seetms to he 

 scarce, with a particularly marked 

 shortage in white flowers, especially 

 white roses. Quality is improving and 

 if present conditions continue the im- 

 provement, especially in color, will 

 soon be very marked. Demand is brisk 

 and while prices have not made any 

 notable advance there has been a stiff- 

 ening in rates and the bargain hunter 

 is out in the cold. 



Good tea roses bring $3 to $4. 

 though some lower grailes go at $2 

 and some very extra quality bring as 

 high as $."). In Beauties the best sell 

 at $2.50 to $3 a dozen, good quality 

 $1.50 to $2. and shorts from 50 cents 

 to $1. Carnations are not quite so 

 scarce as roses, but few good ones lack 

 buyers at 75 cents to $1 a hundred. 

 Poor grades go as low as 50 cents and 

 a few extras as high as $1.50. With 

 the dealer the question now is how to 

 get the stock with which to satisfy 

 the demands of his customers, espe- 

 cially when select stock is wanted. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meetings of the Flor- 

 ists' Club will be resumed this month 

 and a meeting will he held this Friday 

 .evening (16th inst.). 



Various Items. 



Robert Rcdfield. vice-president of 

 Kennicott Bros. Co.. is a candidate for 

 the State legislature in the third dis- 

 trict. 



Miss M. C. Binder, with J. M. Gasser. 

 Cleveland. O., spent several days in 

 Chicago on her way home from 

 Omaha. 



The stock at Bassett & Washburn's 

 big plant at Hinsdale is in uniformly 

 fine condition, weak spots being no- 

 ticeably absent. The new carnation 

 bouse (52x600) is now all planted. It 

 Js probably the largest single house in 

 the country. It took 30.000 plants to 

 fill it. A picture of this house will ap- 

 pear next week. 



H. L. Hunt passed through the city 

 this week from Petoskey. Mich., to 

 Wichita, Kans.. where he will engage 

 in business with a Wichita florist. 



Mr. Peter Barr expres.sed himself as 

 much pleased with what he saw in 

 «'hicago, and left the city well satisfied 

 with the treatment he received while 

 here. He was surprised at the magni- 

 tude of our system of parks and boule- 

 vards and says we have laid a splen- 

 Jid foundation. After spending the
