The 



bright weathei has brought 

 in chrysanthemums with a rush. The 

 mid-season rariet ies are lai gi hj in ei i 

 deuce, including su :h sorts as Timothy 

 Eaton and Major Bonnaffon, which lat- 

 ter SOrt seems to lie 111. He la I g. . 



than in the last tw ■ three years. 



Prices are low in comparison to the qual- 

 ity of the stocks offered. Ivory, both 



pink and white, continues to be a g I 



seller at from 8 to 12 eents for well 

 grown stock. Violets have taken a tum- 

 ble from the altitude to which they 

 climbed during the cool weather during 

 the horse show ; dollar-and-a-half violets 

 hi '. ii . six-bits now . and well sold at 

 that, ('alias and Barrisii meet with a 

 slow but steady sale. Valley is hanging 

 hack. 



Th. re i- too much asparagus in the 

 market. The sale is very much greater 

 than it ever was before, for this article 

 is coming into general use for all sorts of 



decorations, but the | luction ha- been 



increased faster than the sale has ex- 

 tended. Smilax is equal to all needs, 

 but not so plentiful as to cause concern. 



The Next Exhibition. 



The program committee of the elub 



met yesterday and completed an outline 



for the season's campaign and, more 



h'i-.-h is in charge of the entertainment 

 which is to follow. It is proposed to 

 have the show open at 2 o 'dock and the 

 public is to lie admitted by card, each 

 member of the club to be provided with 

 tickets for distribution where they will 

 do the most good. The subjects show n 

 are to include roses, carnations, chrysan- 

 themums and pot plants, it js the in- 

 tention to make this a much more com- 

 plete and pretentious affair than the very 

 -ii.ee~-.fnl little show of last month. 



The Atlas block, the same in which 

 so many wholesalers are located, at th. 

 corner of Wabash and Randolph, has 



S. A. 



Phil Broa.lbeck in handling the carna- 

 tions. F. F. Benthey has been dele- 

 gated to look after the wants of the 

 visitors. At the close of the show every- 

 body is expected to go to supper, this 



having 1 n one of the pleas - 



features nt last mouth's little affair. 

 Hon. .1. .1. Feeley will be the speakei of 

 the evening.
