The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



CHICAGO (Continued), 

 went on the Chicago Board of Trade 

 special train and decorated the two 

 diners with roses, carnations and smi- 

 lax. At Omaha all the florists were 

 busy and flowers were scarce. Hess 

 cS: Swoboda had a $500 decoration 

 down town and a $-^0 decoration at 

 the Illinois s.ate building at the Ex- 

 position, 'the Omaha florists all sent 

 regards to Chieagoans.

Following are the scores and aver- 

 ages made at the alleys last Friday 

 evening. In i-is third game C. S. 

 Stewart promised to break all records, 

 making a stride each time in the first 

 five frames, but on changing alleys in 

 the middle of the game he lost his 

 grip and made a total of only 184.

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

 KET. 



"Carnations Siem to be coming ii 

 cotDment made by nearly every r 

 made the rounds last week. The comm 

 men did not need to be told this, and it 

 ed to them much l.ke the "is this hot ei 

 for you" that one hears all along the li 

 a warm summer day. 



Well, the carnations come from everywhere, 

 good, fair and bad quality, there being a pre- 

 ponderance of the fair and bad. however. Tlie 

 fancy stock sold well, the rest remained most- 

 ly on the tables. Some whites were worked 

 off for use in funeral work, but all shades of 

 pink suffered greatly. 



One of the greatest changes in the quality 

 of roses has occurred during the last few days 

 that was ever known in this ntarket. Whether 

 the few warm days are responsib!e for it or not 

 I don't know, but the percentage of good first 

 <iuality buds is woefully small. Perle shows 

 the least change, but they are not wanted. 

 Maids and Bridies, fit to ship, are scarce, whil? 

 Meteors are extremely hard to get. Beauties 

 also have shortened up. and all good blooms
