J. L. Johnson, Do Kalb, 111., was a 

 visitor January 13. He is a rather large 

 grower of gladiolus bulbs and looks for- 

 ward to a big season. 



L. C. Hecock, of Elyria, O., was liere 

 last week. 



Herman J. C. I^eitz, of the New Haven 

 Floral (.'o., New Haven, Ind., spent a 

 day in the market last w^ek. 



Edward Kring, of Kring Bros., the 

 well-known carnation growers at Fair- 

 bury, 111., was here last week, aecom- 

 ]ianied by his daughter. Miss Kring 

 enrolled at Northwestern University, 

 for matriculation next autumn. 



Adam Graham, of Cleveland, one of 

 the trade's pioneers, accompanied by 

 his daughter, passed through Chicago 

 January 6 on their way to Japan. 



Three florists from Youngstown, O., 

 were here most of last week. H. If. 

 Cade was engaged in looking over proj)- 

 trty which lias been advertised for sale. 

 John Williams and John Walker, of the 

 Walker Co., were investigating build- 

 ing material. Mr. Walker recently sold 

 the land under the greenhouses and the 

 company has bought a new tract, to 

 which the old range will be removed 

 and a new range added.

Flowers are moving better (his week 

 and the week closing January 10 was 

 also an improvement on its predecessor. 

 There are few unsold flowers at the close 

 of business each day. Roses are in a 

 better position and have hardened a 

 little in price, more particularly on 

 short-stemmed stock. Nearly all the 

 growers are getting a light cut at jires- 

 ent and this shortage helps to keep 

 prices up. Anifrican Beauties do not 

 mo\-e well, but ;ill hybrid teas aie sell- 

 ing well. The bulk of short-stemmed 

 stock brings $H to $12, with top grades 

 at $25 to -tSO, except in the case of 

 Hailley and other reds, which bring $40 

 to .*50. Whites, whifh weic dragging a 

 few days ago, now sell as well as col- 

 ored varieties. Carnations are holding 

 up nicely at $8 to $12 and are now of 

 remarkably good quality. 



Sweet peas are in good demand and 

 realize $."5 to $6 per hundred. The 

 higher prices are for si)ecially good ])ink 

 Spencers. Violets continue scarce, but 

 the demand at prevailing prices is not 

 robust. Marguerites sell well, but
