market for tliem. Russpll, Premier and 

 Colnmbia are the predominating vari- 

 eties. The cuts of Beauties also have 

 increased largely. Beauties sell well, 

 because the public likes them. 



Asters, which have been in light sup- 

 ply all sea.son, came in a flood last week. 

 Tlie market was glutted. Much of the 

 stock was better than what the market 

 has been forced to use all summer, but 

 it mado no difference. Most of the as- 

 ters are shipped in from some little dis- 

 tance and the turn in the market was a 

 disappointment, because good prices had 

 iteen expi-cted. 



Ob the other hand, gladioli, which 

 had been plentiful, have shortened up. 

 Tliero still are considerable quantities 

 oi' go()<l llowers, but numerous growers 

 are cutting the end of the crop and as 

 a whole the supply is much reduced. 

 From this time on most of the gladioli 

 will <'ome from northern fields. 



There is extremely little miscellaneous 

 stock in the market. It is said that an- 

 other fortnight must pass before there 

 .nre any large cuts of orchids and valley 

 is in such small supply that it can no 

 longer be had for 10 cents. There are 

 a few giganteura lilies, selling steadily.

Riibriims sell well if good, but many are 

 too poor to command a price. The small 

 receipts of tritomas go quickly to the 

 two or three retailers who favor the red- 

 hot-poker plant. Golden Glow chrysan- 

 thon.ums can be had, but during the last 

 week it has been too warm for mums. 



There arc increased receipts of carna- 

 tions and they are not selling so fast as 

 they wore when other llowers were less 

 plentiful. 



While the market is heavily loaded 

 and prices demoralized, there is general 

 confidence that a day or two of cool 

 weather will set things right again. 

 Having decided that this is to be the 



biggest season on record, the Chicago 

 maiket fleclines to have its faith shaken 

 by a few days of slow business. 



There is an adequate supply of greens 

 of ;ill kinds, with no special demand. 



That Batavia Deal. 



It was reported in last week's Re- 

 view that Paul Weiss and associates 

 had bought the controlling interest of 

 the Vv'oiniiorg brothers in the Batn,\ ;i 

 Groenhcu.'-c Co. The reorganization .sub- 

 sequently was completed by the elec- 

 tion of a new board of five directors 

 and the following ofiicers: President, 

 Henry Meyer; vice-president, O. John-
