CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



There has been a still further short- 

 ening of supply, especially in roses, and 

 the outlook for Thanksgiving is still 

 less encouraging. Reports indicate 

 that the roses of nine out of ten grow- 

 ers are off crop and that the brightest 

 of weather would not assist matters to 

 any appreciable degree. One agreeable 

 feature, though, is that the growers 

 who are now off crop are all confident 

 that they will in consequence have a 

 good crop for December and the holi- 

 days. 



Though the supply of roses for 

 Thanksgiving promises to be short, 

 there will be a fair supply of carna- 

 tions, and enough chrysanthemums to 

 go around, though growers generally 

 believe that Thanksgiving will about 

 finish up the mums this year. Poehl- 

 inann Bros., who last year had mums 

 up to Christmas, say this month will 

 about finish them this year. All their 

 flowers are now in condition to cut, 

 with the exception of Murdoch. Their 

 early sorts, especially Montmort, were 

 late, and their late sorts are earlier 

 than usual, undoubtedly due to the 

 warm weather. 



Demand is good all along the line, 

 and what stock comes in moves quick- 

 ly at good figures. 



Club Meeting. 



The attendance at the last club 

 meeting was rather thin and little but 

 routine business was accomplished. In 

 the absence of President Hartshorne. 

 Vice-President Benthey presided. One 

 new member was added to the roll. The 

 report of the banquet committee was 

 read and accepted. The discussion up- 

 on the benefits of exhibitions was post- 

 poned to the next meeting. A paper 

 upon the subject will then be read to 

 open the discussion. 



The Chrysanthemum Show. 



A matter that should have been cov- 

 ered in our exhibition report last week 

 was the circumstances connected with 

 a protest regarding some of the awards. 

 One of the exhibitors was a member of
