shipping demand now centered there 

 has had the result of doubling tha eoat 

 of chryaa^themums to the local San 

 Francisco retailers. With this in view, 

 one can appreciate what the shipping 

 business does to maintain and steady 

 cut flower prices in Chicago. 



Although total sales are running 

 ahead of the unprecedented figures of 

 last year, prices are not so high as they 

 were a year ago. There is much more 

 stock in the market and the average 

 quality is distinctly better. Indeed, the 

 Chicago market never has had a larger 

 or finer supply of flowers at this time 

 of year. The situation is extremely 

 satisfactory. There is a big supply of 

 good stock and the demand is sufficient 

 to consume it all at profitable prices. 

 The average wholesaler hopes to see 

 prices continue at about this level. It 

 is regarded as far better to move a big 

 quantity of stock at fair figures than 

 to force the same sum of money out of 

 smaller production. The present con- 

 dition is increasing the use of flowers. 



This is a rose market. There prob- 

 ably are aa many roses, including Beau- 

 ties, as all other flowers put together. 

 There is a large variety and the stock 

 is excellent. The only scarcity is of 

 short roses, for cheap funeral work. 

 Chrysanthemums are scarcely more 

 abundant than a week ago. Some new 

 growers are shipping, but some of the 

 earlier ones have cut their first crop. 

 Prices on mums, as on nearly all other 

 flowers, have advanced with the in- 

 eteaaed demand.

Carnations may now be classed as 

 good for the season. Most of the poor 

 stock has disappeared and the present 

 receipts are fair to fancy. Prices have 

 advanced to 6 cents for Ward and the 

 best grades of other varieties. 



Gladioli and asters may be had, bnt 

 their season is near its end. They have 

 held out wonderfully well this year. 

 The demand again exceeds the supply 

 of valley. Cattleyas, on the other hand, 

 are much more plentiful and the prices 



are maintained with difficulty. Orchidi 

 are the only flowers on which prices ar« 

 weakening. On other lines prices have 

 advanced with the demand and with thm 

 improvement in quality. 



September Weather. 



The monthly meteorological summary 

 shows September to have been a good 

 month for the growers. The mean tem- 

 perature, 68.9 degrees, was the highest 

 for September since 1903. The rainfal
