demand and it did not. It is now well 

 on the short side of the market, which 

 seems to be its normal position in Chi- 

 cago. Easter lilies are plentiful in the 

 extreme, but they are also almost sta- 

 tionary. The supply of cattleyas, though 

 no larger, is much easier as a result of 

 the decrease in demand. 



Beally good sweet peas are noted for 

 their great scarcity, most of those re- 

 ceived being unqualifiedly poor. Daisies 

 are available in any quantity, including 

 excellent Shastas. Snapdragon, gla- 

 dioli, coreopsis, gaillardias, cornflowers, 

 candytuft and feverfew are plentiful, 

 but they are in a decidedly disadvan- 

 tageous position, as this has been a re- 

 markably good season for growing out- 

 door flowers and, as a result, garden 

 flowers on the market find little call. 

 To this rule, gypsophila may be an 

 exception, for it has enjoyed a fairly 

 steady call. A few early asters may be 

 found, and still fewer dahlias. The 

 good asters are perhaps the best prop- 

 erty in the market today. 



There are plenty of greens of all 

 kinds to be had at a surprisingly low 

 figure. 



Various Notes. 



The change to real midsummer 

 weather that came in the middle of 

 last week, while it cut the average 

 price of flowers to the lowest in a year, 

 did a great deal for certain growers, 

 the ones who have been battling 

 against black spot in the houses of 

 Beauties and Mrs. Eussell especially. 



George Hagen, father of Frank 

 Hagen, of the George Eeinberg city 

 store staff, and grandfather of Fred 

 Klingel, of Erne & Klingel, died quite 

 suddenly July 17. He was 78 years 

 of age, a pioneer carpenter in the Bow- 

 manville district, who helped build 

 some of the first greenhouses there. 



Commenting on last week's business, 

 John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says it contained the smallest day 's 

 sales his house has made this year, but 

 that nevertheless the day's record was 

 $300 better than the same day last

his summer home in Omena, Mich., then 

 runs over to Chicago for a day or two 

 to look at the business. Victor Berg- 

 man left July 15 for a month's fishing 

 and camping in the wilds of northern 

 Wisconsin. In the absence of Mr. 

 Friedman and Mr. Bergman, Tom 

 Fogarty will have charge of the stores. 

 July 15 Pyfer & Olsem obtained pos- 

 session of the Peter Nepper place in 

 Evanston on a lease for five years. The 

 houses have been in vegetables, but 

 will be given a thorough overhauling 



and will be planted to carnations, of 

 which there will be bench space for 

 75,000 plants. 



That the flower business in general 

 is better than usual at this time of year 

 is the view of George Wienhoeber. 



Rustic window decorations with wa- 

 ter instead of flowers now are in sea- 

 son. Especially attractive ones are to 

 be seen at C. A. Samuelson's and at 

 the store of the Fleischman Floral Co.
