Choice Shipping Roses 



We cut our flowers tight in the bud, as the majority of our trade is shipping. Flowers that 

 are sold mostly to the city trade are allowed to open more than for the shipping trade. 



Don't Forget to Buy Direct of the Grower. 



NEW BEAUTIES — A very large cut of short and medium stems now on. 



Rhea Reid — the best red rose 

 Mrs. Russell — the best pink rose 



Sunburst — the best yellow rose 



Double White Killarney — the best white rose 



Ophelia — Shawyer 



Then, in addition, we have the regular varieties of Roses in large quantities, receiving them direct 

 from the greenhouses within a few hours of being cut, which enables us to fill all orders with strictly 

 fresh stock. This is the great advantage of buying direct of the grower.

more rapidly than in former years that 

 at this early date the supply is almost 

 exhausted. Emil Eeichling, superin- 

 tendent of the greenhouses, motored 

 with his family to Ottawa and Starved 

 Rock last week. 



Several have prophesied that the 

 large crops of mums will be later than 

 usual this year. Among these was Ole 

 Johnson, of the Batavia Greenhouse 

 Co., who said that last year his mums 

 were in crop the latter part of Septem- 

 ber. This year they will be a month 

 later. 



Nick Speropulos, proprietor of the 

 Wabash 1 1 Flower Market, and John 

 Moultos purchased the store of Nick 

 Korson at 7 West Monroe street last 

 week and took possession September 22. 

 They will operate it under the business 

 style of the Monroe Flower Market. 

 Nick Korson will devote his entire 

 time to the store at 168 North State 

 street. Visitors. 



Vernon S. Griffen, who conducts the 

 growing end of Griffen 's Flower Shop, 

 Hannibal, Mo., spent several days in 



this market last week. Nearly every- 

 thing used in the Griffen establishment 

 comes from Chicago, greenhouse mate- 

 rial, boilers, fertilizers, bulbs, plants 

 and such cut flowers as are not grown 

 at home. It was Mr. Griffen 's first 

 visit to most of the concerns he pat- 

 ronizes, his previous acquaintance hav- 

 ing been made through The Review. 



Among the week's visitors was E. H. 

 Mazey, of the Mazey Floral Co., Min- 

 neapolis, who has been taking a vaca- 

 tion and looking up some novelties and 

 plants. He says business has been re- 

 markably good with him during the 

 summer and he is looking forward to 

 a big fall and winter trade. 



George Bayer, of Toledo, who for 

 many years has shipped large quanti- 

 ties of splendid Bonnaffons to Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., is in town this week, 

 called by the meeting of vegetable 

 growers in progress at Hotel La Salle. 



Among those visiting the market last 

 week was Paul M. Palez, of Little 

 Rock, Ark. 



Charles Bloom, brother of Samuel 

 Bloom, 822 East Sixty-third street, is 



on the market buying supplies for a 

 store he will open in Clinton, la., this 

 week. 



Among last week's visitors was 

 George Maunz, representing Reed & 

 Keller, New York. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



Detroit had its first frost last week 

 and this had its effect on the market. 

 There was not a great variety of stock 

 to choose from; in fact, the principal 

 Item was roses. Good Ophelia, Sun- 

 burst, Hoosier Beauty, Ward and Reid 

 roses arrive and find a ready sale, espe- 

 cially the long cuts. Some Beauties ar- 

 rived from Mount Clemens last week, 

 but the Chicago shipments were a bit 

 better and cleared more readily. Fine 

 Killarneys also came in from Chicago 

 and they sold nicely. The short- 

 stemmed stock is inclined to drag. 



Valley is about the same — the supply 

 is limited. Carnations now are more 

 plentiful, but they still have short
