a visit to wholesalers and others last 

 week, between sessions of the nursery- 

 men 's convention. 



George Washburn, of A. Washburn & 

 Sons, Bloomington, 111., was here last 

 week. Their business is growing rapidly 

 and Mr. Washburn was in quest of in- 

 formation as to the best methods to use 

 in expanding their facilities. 



P. W. Peterson, of Joliet, was in town 

 last week, driving in his machine. 



Julius Glaser, of the A. L. Glaser 

 Flower Shop, Dubuque, la., was in town 

 last week. Corporal Leo J. Glaser re- 

 turned a short time ago from France, 

 where he saw some heavy action. 



John Furrow, florist and peach sales- 

 man, Guthrie, Okla., arrived in town last 

 week. His interest seemed to center on 

 the purchase of a crib and a baby 

 buggy. 



F. C. Weber, of St. Louis, Mo., made 

 calls here last week on his way to his 

 Michigan summer home. He plans to 

 stay until September. 



George Stiles, of the Stiles Floral Co., 

 of Oklahoma City, Okla., was in town 

 last week. 



C. B. Knickman, of McHutchison & 

 Co., New York, called on customers here 

 after the nurserymen's convention, leav- 

 ing June 30 for California. 



E. Holt, of the Kirkwood Floral, Co., 

 Des Moines, la., was here this week on 

 a trip that combined business with pleas- 

 ure. 



Alois Frey, of Crown Point, Ind., 

 spent June 30 in the market. He plans 

 to remove to California about August 1.

The Market. 



The wholesale cut flower market for 

 the week ending June 28 was, on the 

 whole, satisfactory all around. Gradua- 

 tion week called for a good supply of 

 flowers, and while few things were on 

 the short list, prices were stimulated 

 considerably. Koses were in especial 

 demand, and with some outdoor stock of 

 the Wichuraiana varieties coming in, 

 there was plenty of stock to go around. 

 Peonies from cold storage moved well 

 at prices running up to $6 per hundred, 

 and advantage was taken of every com-

A GOOD START 



Some three years ago, we began in this 

 market what was the beginning of a new 

 SALES REPORT to the Consignor. 



Our experiments met with various obsta- 

 cles, which were finally all overcome, thanks 

 largely to growers who had foreseen its 

 value and gave us sincere co-operation. 



This SALES REPORT offers a NEW 

 SERVICE from the Cut Flower Commis- 

 sion House to the Consignor. 



Its value lies in support of the growers 

 who have given it a trial.

modity which could be used for presenta- 

 tion purposes. 



This week opened with a well sup- 

 plied market and a business which is 

 quite normal for the time of year. 

 American Beauty roses are not over- 

 plentiful, and clean up well, special 

 grades bringing about $35 per hundred 

 when the quality is good. There are 



generous arrivals of hybrid teas, but 

 their movement, too, is good. 



Carnations are becoming scarce, but 

 the quality of arrivals, generally, is 

 nothing to boast about. The cool tem- 

 peratures experienced for several days 

 have been of advantage to carnation 

 growers, who have been able to extend 

 their cutting season a few days.
