slightly smaller than it was, but that 

 still leaves a most liberal supply, and 

 yet, except in rare cases, roses are mov- 

 ing satisfactorily. Bussell has been 

 an exception to the general rule of 

 plenty. In fact, it has been at a pre- 

 mium on the market. Beauties, too, 

 have been in smaller supply. Demand, 

 of course, has been increasingly large. 



At last carnations are finding their 

 way to market in sufficient quantities 

 to enable wholesalers to fill orders to 

 better advantage than for several 

 weeks. Valley, too, is at least approxi- 

 mating demand. Easter lilies, being in 

 only fair supply, clear readily. The 

 supply of cattleyas is short. So, too, 

 is the demand. Gladioli may be found 

 on the market, but so far as constitut- 

 ing a factor, they are done. The status 

 of the aster is much the same. Bubrum 

 lilies may be added to the list of has- 

 beens. 



Violets sold better at the end of last 

 week than they have at any time since 

 their arrival on the market a few 

 weeks ago. Sweet peas, also, are enjoy- 

 ing a period of favor. Though not re- 

 ceived in sufficient quantities to cut a 

 figure, snapdragon is selling well. 



Smilax, though by no means as scarce 

 as it has been, is yet far from plentiful. 

 Other greens are in sufficient supply 

 and move in a satisfactory manner. 



Various Notes. 



L. Baumann & Co. received last week 

 a large shipment of goods from Ger- 

 many, which was obtained only after 

 long negotiations by the firm with the 

 American, Gkrman and English govern- 

 ments. 



There is much comment around the 

 market with reference to the F. T. D. 

 meeting last week, it having impressed 

 nearly all who came in touch that this 

 body of some sixty visitors represented 

 a higher average order of 'business abil- 

 ity than has any other gathering of 

 florists ever held in Chicago. 



In talking of the Illinois State Flo- 

 rists' Association the other day, C. L. 

 Washburn, of Bassett & Washburn, 

 presented some interesting facts. The 

 association now has ninety members in 

 the S. A. F. Ten more will give it rep- 

 resentation on the board of directors 



THE STOCK THAT STANDS 



—that's the kind to buy, it's the kind to sell, it's the kind you get if 

 you trade in Quality Cuts. Flowers for fall, or any other season, must 

 be of a high stdPdard of quality or Eennicott Bros. Co. won't try to 

 sell them.

AND all the seasonable flowers can be secured at Eennlcott's. If 

 they're Eennicott's, then they are Quality Cuts: so, to be certain, order 

 from the House of Quality Plus.

of the 8. A. F. It is now the largest 

 state organization and if it attains to 

 this honor of S. A. F. representation it 

 will have the distinction of being the 

 first state society to be so honored. 

 Mr. Washburn believes that a strong 

 state organization is of great value to 

 the trade, inasmuch as all matters of 

 express and freight rates, legislation 

 and all things pertaining to the wel- 

 fare of the trade will be participated in 

 by it. 



Bunning a branch store is not always 

 as easy as it sounds. At least John 

 Mangel finds it difficult to push his 

 handsome new Edgewater Beach hotel 

 store while giving his Monroe street 

 store the attention it demands. He 

 therefore is offering the branch store 

 for sale. It is in one of the finest new 

 hotels in the city, in a district of the 

 best apartment houses and private 

 homes in Chicago, where the flower- 



buying capacity is high, and it has no 

 competition for an unusually long way 

 north, west and south. It seems as 

 though someone should be able to do a 

 splendid business there and the store 

 is complete and up-to-date in every de- 

 tail. 



Two of the brightest women in the 

 local field now are associated. Miss 

 Elsie Schnapp being right-hand man 

 for Miss Charlotte Megchelsen at her 

 handsome store on the southwest comer 

 of Grand boulevard and Forty-seventh 

 street. 



The blue gentian, gathered in the 

 Indiana woods, E. F. Winterson says, 

 has been having a brisk sale for use 

 in basket work. E. Wienhoeber has a 

 patch of it at Highland park that af- 

 fords his company a special supply.
