has made all Chicago shjver, has short- 

 ened the cuts to a considerable degree 

 and indications are that if the cold 

 weather continues, the supply will be 

 pretty short by the end of the week. 

 Both shipping and city trade have im- 

 proved and seem to be on the up grade. 



American Beauties of good quality 

 are in good demand and are clearing 

 well. Poorer stock, however, is not 

 moving so fast. Other varieties of 

 roses began to move better November 

 10 and 11, and are clearing pretty well. 

 •Carnations are in good supply and of 

 excellent quality, but, on the whole, are 

 moving rather slowly; some of the sales 

 to clean up last week's accumulation 

 were at spring glut prices. 



Better grade mums are moving well 

 and selling at fair prices. Poorer qual- 

 ity stock, on the other hand, is almost 

 impossible to move. Pompons in all 

 varieties are on the market in good 

 numbers, but as a rule are selling" rather 

 slowly. Last week's glut is thought to 

 be over. 



Valley continues on the scarce side of 

 the market. Lilies are slow and are 

 obtainable at low prices. Violets, both 

 single and double, are in good supply 

 and are clearing fairly well. Sweet 

 peas are scarce, with but little demand 

 as yet. Orchids also are scarce, but 

 are in good demand. Calendulas are 

 not arriving in large numbers, but are 

 moving well. Mignonette is short and 

 clearing well. Paper "Whites are com- 

 ing in more plentifully and are in good 

 demand. Present indications are that 

 there will be an ample supply on the 

 market for Thanksgiving. 



Strawflowers are in good demand. 

 Buyers evidently are beginning more 

 and more to realize that they are a 

 profitable investment. All greens are 

 moving well.

 rlebutantes' bouquets November 11,

 been accumulating for weeks. The

Abele Turns Another Deal. 



WANTED TO BUY— Or CTchanRe, my good 

 Chicago flat building, bringing 16% on

 20,000 ft. of glass. Place must be in good con-

 Florists' Review, Chicago. 



C. V. Abele came to Chicago a few 

 years ago with considerably less than a 

 thousand dollars; within a month he had 

 leased some old, unprofitable green- 

 houses at Sixty-first and Throop streets 

 and had pledged his last cent for re- 

 pairs. He paid only $45 a month rent, 



but soon was coining money — one year 

 he cleaned up over $7,000 and put it 

 into real estate. When he sold his stock 

 to the National Plant & Flower Co., 

 which now operates the greenhouses, he 

 owned the handsome 9-flat building at 

 5600 Marshfield avenue, with rents of 

 nearly $3,000 per year. 



Then comes John Zimmerman, of Mt. 

 Pleasant, Mich., who, wishing to retire, 

 bought the flats for $27,500, giving in 

 part payment the Mt. Pleasant Green- 

 houses, 22,000 feet of modern glass, val- 

 ued at $15,000. 



The Review want ad that brought 

 them together cost Mr. Abele $1.30.
