The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 10, 1902 



CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



The luidsummer dull season has uow 

 arrived in good earnest. The demand has 

 fallen oif to such an extent that even 

 ■n-hat few good flowers come in move 

 slowly and the poorest iind no sale at all. 

 On roses the range is $3 to $.5 for the 

 best and down to $1 for the poorest. In 

 carnations really good whites reach $1.50 

 and even $2 for the best, but colored 

 stock runs from .$1 to .$1.50 for the pick 

 and from that down to 5 cents a bunch.' 



Sweet peas have improved in quality 

 and are coming in very freely. The best 

 bring 50 cents a 100, and from that 

 prices range down to $1.50 per 100 

 bunches. There are lots of lilies in the 

 market, both longiflorium and auratum. 



Since last report we have had consid- 

 erable burning hot weather and old Sol 

 extracted a great deal of moisture from 

 the soil. So much so that rains last Mon- 

 day and Tuesday were not unwelcome. 



But this was followed by very heavy 

 rains Tuesday night and "Wednesday that 

 were not so welcome, and damage from 

 too much water is again likely. 



Various Items. 



Kehnieott Bros. Co. are making exten- 

 sive changes in their establishment. The 

 cool room under the sidewalk is being 

 tiled and cemented, and when completed 

 it will Lie an ideal place for storing flow- 

 ers. Other improvements are also in pro- 

 gress. 



Poehlman Bros. Co. are cutting some 

 fine Crocker carnations now that sell 

 readily at $2 per 100. They say that 

 Ooeker is a fine summer carnation, but 

 that it does nothing for them in the win- 

 ter. 



Frank Holy, the Homan avenue florist, 

 died last Saturday of pneumonia at the 

 age of 51 years. He was born in Bohe- 

 mia and came to this city twenty-seven 

 years ago. He had established a good 

 business. It will be continued by his 

 widow and daughters. 



Mr. and Jlrs. C. L. Washburn are en- 

 joying an outing at Athelstane, Wis. Mrs. 

 Washburn will remain for the summer 

 and Mr. Washburn will spend a few days 

 there each week. 



Chas. Erne, with E. H. Hunt, is nurs- 

 ing a broken arm as the result of a 

 friendly boxing bout last Thursday. 



President Winterson says out of town 

 florists are already writing in for fur- 

 ther information about the trip to Ashe- 

 viile. 



Paul Swanson, a local grower of mush- 

 rooms, has begun the making of mush- 

 room spawn at his place, 2747 Forty-sev- 

 enth street. 



D. C. Noble, Columbia City, Ind., was 

 a visitor last week. 



The quarterly meeting of the Horti- 

 cultural Society of Chicago was held last 

 Tuesday afternoon. 



Wheeling, W. Va. — The Upland Nurs- 

 ery Co. has been incorporated with a 

 capital stock of $30,000, of which amount 

 $500 has been subscribed and $50 has 

 been paid. Incorporators: John D. 

 Driggs, A. H. Dondna and J. C. Dent of 

 Bridgeport, Ohio, and J. M. Brown and 

 E. E. Brown of Wheeling, 



Hollyhock Eust. — A. G. ^I. asks: 

 "Will some reader of the Eeview please 

 tell me what to do to prevent the rust 

 spots on hollyhock leaves?"
