short and medium lengths are decidedly 

 scarce and, while there is a sufficient 

 supply of the longer grades, no difficulty 

 is found in clearing them. White roses 

 are a little more plentiful than other 

 varieties, but the funeral demand easily 

 clears all the short and medium stock 

 which arrives. 



Carnations were in largo supply last 

 week and with a small demand wholesal- 

 ers were willing to sell for almost any 

 reasonable price. The end of the week 

 the market cleared up fairly well, how- 

 ever, and this week finds a shortened 

 supply, increased demand and better 

 prices obtaining. Carnations have so 

 far been far from satisfactory and whole- 

 salers and growers are complaining 

 loudly. The average price last week 

 was not more than half of the price ob- 

 tained in the same week last year, but 

 as a compensation for the growers it 

 should be said the production is much 

 heavier than a year ago; perhaps the 

 cut thus far in January has been nearly 

 double that of a year ago. 



Sweet peas are now more plentiful. 

 The average quality is excellent and 

 good prices are received. Violets, too, 

 arrive in larger supply. The condition 

 of lilies and valley remains about the 

 same. The supply is not large, but suf- 

 ficient to meet demands. Orchids are in 



fairly good supply and are clearing well 

 at lower prices. Some high grade stevia 

 still is arriving, but its season is prac- 

 tically over. The late stock of Paper 

 Whites is now arriving, and the quality 

 therefore is improved. Fair prices are 

 being obtained. Calendulas and mi- 

 gnonette arc not plentiful, but the de- 

 mand just about balances the supply. 

 Tulips are clearing fairly easily. Jon- 

 quils also clear readily. The supply still 

 is limited. 



Poehlmanns Win Case. 



The Keview's Washington correspond- 

 ent reports that the United States Su- 

 preme court has affirmed the judgment 

 of the Illinois Supreme court in favor of 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., who some years 

 ago filed a petition with the Illinois 

 Warehouse Commission attacking a rate 

 of 40 cents per ton on coal and manure 

 from Galewood, a station inside of Chi- 

 cago, to Morton Grove. It appeared in 

 the evidence that at that time the green- 

 houses were using about 30,000 tons of 

 coal and 500 cars of manure every year. 

 The Warehouse Commission, now known 

 as the State Public Utilities Commission, 

 after a hearing, found that 20 cents a 

 ton on coal and 25 cents on manure were 

 just and reasonable rates and should be 

 put into force by the Chicago, Milwau- 

 kee & St, Paul railroad. The order was 



confirmed by the lower courts and now 

 by the United States Supreme court. 

 The distance between Galewood and 

 Morton Grove is twelve miles and no 

 joint or other rates on the commodities 

 in question were obtainable from points 

 in Illinois where the shipments origi- 

 nated. 



Various Notes. 



Peter Eeinberg will drop Beauties. 

 Emil Reichling, who has charge of the 

 houses, finds that although Beauties 

 are the most profitable at the holidays, 

 they do not bring the desired steady re- 

 turns throughout the year. 



On the way to the Pacific coast last 

 week Mrs. Arnold Ringier was taken ill 

 with pneumonia and now is in Clara 

 Barton hospital in Los Angeles. Mr. 

 Ringier is at the Hayward hotel in that 

 city. It is understood that Mrs. Ringier 

 is not in danger. 



J. P. Risch, of Weiland & Risch, says 

 that his firm expects to increase the 

 plantings of Champ Weiland rose by 

 30,000 next season. 



It has been the belief of Wendland & 

 Keimel Co., Elmhurst, that it is more 

 economical to buy young rose stock than 

 to graft it for themselves. But because 

 of the difficulty of getting just what is 

 wanted it has been decided to do a little 

 grafting this year. Accordingly, 15,000
