everywhere nor in any quantity. Some 

 of those being received are so short 

 of stem that they are useful only for 

 work. Valley, too, has lapsed into its 

 normal condition of extreme scarcity. 

 Easter lilies, also, are found on the 

 short side of the market, while rubrums 

 are practically gone. Sweet peas con- 

 tinue short, both in the matter of sup- 

 ply and stems. 



Beauties are of excellent quality, but 

 are in short supply. Other roses, with 

 the exception of Bussell, are in sufficient 

 supply to meet demand and yet scarce 

 enough to clear nicely. While many 

 growers are cutting good crops of Kus- 

 sell and receipts on the market are com- 

 paratively large, the popularity of this 

 variety continues to grow in a manner 

 that always keeps the demand about 

 two jumps ahead of the supply. Next to 

 Bussell, Milady seems to lead the chase. 

 All grades of roses, however, are not 

 equally satisfactory in supply. The 

 shorter grades in every variety are 

 unusually scarce. 



So much greater are the receipts of 

 chrysanthemums this week than last 

 that the wholesalers are at times com- 

 pelled to make slight concessions in 

 order to clear them. In addition to the 

 varieties that have been on the market 

 some time, there are now William 

 Turner, Chrysolora, Kalb, Bonnaffon, 

 Halliday and McNiece. Shipments of 

 mums have been coming from California 

 and have opened in good shape. Pom- 

 pons are in liberal supply and have met 

 with the cordial reception always ac- 

 corded them in the Chicago market. 

 The status of cattleyas remains little 

 changed. There is now a fair supply of 

 Hudson river violets. Yellow snapdrag- 

 ons, too, are in fair supply. 



Smilax remains scarce. Other greens 

 are in satisfactory supply and move 

 evenly. 



Announcing a Sunday Show. 



Because of the energy of Fred 

 liautenschlager in thinking up novelties 

 the Chicago Florists' Club announces a 

 Floral Art and Novelty Display to be 

 held in the ballroom of Hotel La Salle 

 Sunday afternoon and evening, Novem- 

 ber 12. Admission will be by invita- 

 tion. This is to take the place of the 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



— and every other variety of Seasonable Flowers at a price 

 that is well within reason, but not especially low. 



We ship you Quality Cuts, and give you willing, efficient 

 service. Of course we charge for them, but we do not 

 overcharge for them. 



We have the stock — try us and see for yourself what it is 

 like.

novelty _9hgw_ scheduled fof the Novem- 

 ber club meeting and is planned to in- 

 terest the public as well as the trade. 

 The retailers will be invited to exhibit 

 as well as the growers and novelty rais- 

 ers; indeed, the retailers are expected 

 to come in strongly, as Hotel La Salle 

 will make a social feature of it, send- 

 ing invitations to its roof garden list. 

 Each retailer who participates will be 

 given invitations to send to his custom- 

 ers. The attendance of the right peo- 

 ple seems assured and it only remains 

 to make a show that is worth while. 



Agmeo In New Quarters. 



Finding itself hampered by a lack of 

 space, the American Greenhouse Mfg. 

 Co. moved its offices, October 24, from 

 the fifteenth floor of the Masonic Tem- 

 ple to suite 1000 of the same building. 

 The change is an advantageous one in 

 many respects. Not only is the new 

 suite much larger, but, being on the 



corner, it receives light from two sides. 

 The corner room, a large, airy space, 

 affording a view of the lake and Mar- 

 shall Field's windows, will be used as 

 a reception and consultation room. 



Budlong Increases Facilities. 



Within a week the entire ground floor 

 of the Le Moyne building, southwest 

 corner of Wabash avenue and Lake 

 street, will be occupied by members of 

 the florists' trade; for the ILake street 

 corner, heretofore unoccupied, has been 

 taken under a long term lease by the 

 J. A. Budlong wholesale cut flower 

 house. The work of removing the parti- 

 tions that divide the present quarters 

 from the newly acquired space has al- 

 ready begun. 



The new arrangement gives the J. A. 

 Budlong company a frontage of forty 

 feet on Wabash avenue, and a frontage 

 of sixty feet on Lake street. The two 

 entrances now in use will be retained
