FLORISTS' REFRIGERATORS will display your flowers in 

 an attractive manner and keep them in perfect condition. In 

 Brecht's Refrigerators there is always a STRONG CIRCULATION 

 OF DRY, COLD AIR. We build them of oak, or any other wood, 

 highly finished and thoroughly insulated. All hardware is of 

 brass, quadruple nickel-plated. The best of French beveled 

 plate glass used for mirrors and windows.

The Markets. 



Lack of variety in stock was notice- 

 able last week. Roses are sufficient for 

 requirements; also lilies. A few early 

 mums are coming in, but as yet they 

 are in short supply. Carnations are so 

 few that they are hardly worth men- 

 tioning. The season for asters and 

 gladioli is past. Garden flowers have 

 been somewhat injured by frost and an 

 increased demand is the result. 



Various Notes. 



William Knees, of Moline, reports an 

 unusually large quantity of funeral 

 work during the week. 



Joseph Tuckis, of Eock Island, says 

 that trade has been remarkably good 

 and that the shortage of flowers, out- 

 side of roses, is severely felt.

The Market. 



The weather remained cool last week 

 and this vicinity had a surfeit of rain. 

 There were light frosts, but they did 

 only slight damage. The business in 

 general shows a healthy condition, 

 which augurs well for the coming 

 season. 



Boaes show no decrease in supply, 

 which now seems to be a little heavier 

 than usual. The demand, however, is 

 large, and the entire cut is moved daily, 

 at good prices. Russell and Ophelia 

 seem to have the heaviest demand and 

 it is hard to fill all orders on this stock. 

 Baby roses,, for corsage work, such as 

 Cecile Brunner, Baby Doll and Bon 

 Silene, are in good supply and moving 

 fairly well. This stock is adapted for 

 corsage work in every way and it is 

 surprising that the demand is not 

 heavier. 



The supply of carnations seems no 

 greater than heretofore and orders can- 

 not be filled with any degree of satis-

faction. This stock is improving slowly 

 and the prices are good, despite short 

 stems and small flowers. Lilies still are 

 in short supply and sell exceedingly 

 well. Valley is scarce and the supply 

 from- day to day is really problematic. 

 There still are a few asters in the mar- 

 ket and, though the quality is poor, they 

 are moving well. Calendulas still are 

 coming in and are picked up readily 

 each day. 



Greens are selling well and the qual- 

 ity is fine. Asparagus is none too plen- 

 tiful, but the shortage is not acute. 

 There are practically no chrysanthe- 

 mums on the market and from present 

 indications there will be no increase in 

 the supply for two or three weeks at 

 least.

 is laid up at his home, 1318 Forert Home 

 avenue, where he was taken after the 

 accident, and it is reported he will be 

 confined for about a month. He has 

 been with the association since 1886

 the trade, all of whom are extending 

 their best wishes for a speedy recovery.
