Miss Tenner has placed this business in 

 the charge of competent hands, it will 

 not take any time from her cut flower 

 and supply business, in which she is 

 associated with her sister. 



R. J. Parker has been laid up for sev- 

 eral days because of an ulcerated tooth 

 that was extremely painful as well as 

 destructive of his natural beauty. 



A. F. Keenan has been in bed the 

 greater part of the last week with the 

 grip. The Misses Keenan, each in 

 charge of a store, have been able to 

 report a steady run of sales. 



Among those to figure in the write- 

 up of Niles township recently by E. 

 Palma Beaudette were Peter and 

 Charles Hollenbach, onion set growers 

 of Morton Grove and Chicago.

The lilarket. 



Last week the wholesale cut flower 

 market was stagnant until November 

 17, but the closing days of the week 

 furnished the first evidences of the 

 long-Iooked-for revival of business. 

 With culd'ir weather — frosts that have 

 killed all outdoor flowers — and society's 

 return to activity, there must come 

 and remain a decided change for the 

 better, especially in the retail depart- 

 ment of the business. 



The shipments of mums are already 

 lighter and better wholesale values are 

 assured for Thanksgiving. The qual- 

 ity is magnificent. All the old vane- 

 ties of value have been retained and 

 many unnamed novelties are seen. The 

 best price November 18 was $3 per doz- 

 en, with one or two exceptions, when 

 $4 and even $5 were secured for novel- 

 ties. Of the above grade the supply was

light; $10 per hundred was the fa- 

 vorite quotation. Many thousands of 

 mums sold at $1 per dozen, and down 

 to 7.5 cents — flowers that commanded 

 double this figure in other years. 



Carnations advance slowly. There is 

 no reason for this except the mum 

 flood. The quality of the carnations 

 now arriving is excellent and it must 

 be to realize even $2 per hundred. No- 

 vember 18 fine Enchantress blooms sold 



at $1.50, and some even as low as $1 

 per hundred. 



Longiflorum lilies still are in excess- 

 of the demand. Thousands remained 

 unsold, the maximum price asked being 

 $4 per hundred. Valley was higher- 

 priced than lilies, $6 per hundred for 

 the select and not enough to go around. 

 Orfehids, the hybrids, TriansB and 

 labiata, are scarce and the tendency of 

 prices is upward. The best flowers.
