CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



Market conditions remain much the 

 same as last week, with prices somewhat 

 easier on roses. Excellent roses can be 

 had at $4 to $5, and select at $6, while 

 for lower grades all sorts of prices pre- 

 vail. In Beauties the best are held at $3 

 a dozen, but cull shorts are sold at as low 

 as $1 to $2. .50 per 100. Carnation prices 

 are rather better held; $1 to $2 for good 

 and $3 for fancy are the prevailing rates, 

 with whites still in best demand. 



Lilac from the South has made its ap- 

 pearance, Kennicott Bros. Co. receiving a 

 large consignment Tuesday. It was in 

 good shape and sold well. 



The weather continued cool till Mon- 

 day, and then the thermometer rose sud- 

 denly to the eighties. Tuesday .-ifternoon 

 came a much needed rain and cooler tem- 

 perature. Just what effect these sudden 

 changes will have on stock remains to be 

 seen. 



Local retailers generally report trade 

 quiet, but shipping demand has so far 

 kept up well for the season. 



Variotis Items. 



Wednesday evening the regular meet- 

 ing of the Florists' Club was devoted to 

 roses. The leading feature of the pro- 

 gram was a paper by G. E. Anderson, 

 which appears elsewhere in this issue. 



Edwin Eagle is moving his greenhouse 



stock to a nevp location at Seventy-ninth 



street and Bond avenue. He will retain 



the store at lif ty-seventh street and Lake 



' avenue. 



Joseph Fleischman sends us a note stat- 

 ing that rumors having been circulated to 

 the effect that it is intended to discon- 

 tinue the Chicago store, he wishes to con- 

 tradict them as untrue. He adds: "It 

 certainly must be known by this time that 

 the success of the business is without 

 question, and we hope to continue doing 

 business at the old stand for a long pe- 

 riod." 



In the Deutsche Gaertner-Z eitung of 

 October 19 last appeared an illustration 

 and description of a house of chrysanthe- 

 mums at the establishment of Otto Mail- 

 ander, Sacrau, bei Breslau. Mr. Mailan- 

 der's former acquaintances in the trade 

 in this city will no doubt be pleased to 

 learn his present address, that they may 

 forward their compliments individually 

 or collectively. 



In the parks the scillas and crocuses 

 are past their best, the hyacinths are be- 



ginning to bloom and the tulips are ptish- 

 ing up their buds. The red growths of 

 the peonies are prominent in the herba- 

 ceous borders. The leaf buas on the 

 trees are partly opened and a few days 

 of real spring weather would bring out 

 their full beauty. 



Mr. .Tohn H. Sievers, of San Francisco, 

 is in the city, making a stop on his way 

 home from the East, where he visited 

 the leading members of the trade. This 

 was, curiously enough, his first visit to 

 the Atlantic coast. He went from Eu- 

 rope direct to San Francisco in 1S57 by 

 the way of Cape Horn, and has never be- 

 fore crossed the continent. He speaks 

 in high terms of the cordial welcome 

 given him evervnvhere by those in the 

 trade. He says California will soon send 

 the East some new carnations that will 

 be much more valuable than Ethel Crock- 

 er and his other introductions. 



Mr. C. L. Washburn returned from the 

 South Tuesday. 



Mr. A. Herrington, Madison, N..T., sent 

 some blooms of the Transvaal daisy, 

 Gerbera Jamesoni, for display at the 

 meeting of the Florists' Club Wednesday 

 evening.

CLEANING GLASS. 



Will some reader of the Review tell me 

 how best to remove from glass "Rubber 

 Ball" that has been used in setting the 

 glass in the sash? I don't know the 

 composition of this material. That on 

 the glass is now as black as rubber.

Charleston, W. Va. — J. W. Alex- 

 ander reports trade this season all he 

 could expect. Sales of cut flowers and 

 blooming plants have been large and he 

 has a largo stock of plants rtady for 

 spring sales. He has been much pleased 

 with the Review, which has given him 

 much valuable information.
