 torj The airs are holding up well, 

 and as compared \\ ii b I a reai are 

 favorable In aspect The aster situa- 

 tion has moderated somi due In 

 part to the devastation ol iln outdoor 

 i rop bj recent heavy rains, but i here 

 is still an ample supply of them. Car- 

 aatlons are just beginning to assert 

 themselves; the Bowers are good but 

 stems are short yet. The situation is 



satisfactory, quality having imi I 



materially along the line. The novel- 

 ties, such as Radiance, Hillii don and 

 Tan are in the lead of the older 

 irites In interest, and as the) are 

 all good shippers the wholi 



to hear the first complaint con- 

 cerning them. The supply of lilj hi 

 the valley is ample and quality excel- 

 lent m lilies are in lair call 



and not overal dant. Goldei < How is 



the only chrysanthemum as yet. li

Only a verj slight im- 

 buffalo provement In be mar- 

 ket the past week. 

 There was still plenty of -Anything, 

 and at prices that are not encouraging 

 to the grower. Asters are still 

 With ns though the receipts are not 

 half as heavy, but again no nutlet that 

 would clean up the market Gladioli 

 are in good supply and quality good, 

 and are moving to better advantage 

 than a week ago. Roses are Improv- 

 ing daily, and extras and elects are 

 becoming more plentiful. Also In tb< 

 carnation line there is much now to he 

 had— sum, choice White Perfection, 

 Winsor and Enchantress and each 

 day brings the quality b d the 



demand growing. Golden Glow chrys- 

 anthemums only in slight demand. 



The big storm of Mon- 

 CHICAGO day morning ha p 



an important part in 

 the question of stock. The high wind, 

 the excessive rainfall and in om 

 calities the hail have laid low the late 

 asters and gladioli. Theri was a 

 marked difference in the looks of the 

 tables in the wholesale s 

 morning following the storm and 

 tho • who do nnt favor the aster when 

 the market is overfilled with them are 

 now i-pjniccd at their absi I e. All 

 plant stock left in the fields has also 

 suffered. Beauties are and 



are moving satisfactorily. Chrj 

 themiims are daily more in evid< 

 and where quality is right buyers look

active. The supply in all lines
