On the other hand, a few days of Chi- 

 cago 's famous summer resort weather 

 brings a prompt improvement in the 

 quality of stock and a reduction in the 

 supply. The changes at this season are 

 so frequent that it is impossible to 

 write anything about the market 's 

 present condition which might not be 

 changed within twenty-four hours by a 

 rise or fall in the temperature. 



There are larger supplies of roses 

 than in any previous summer season. 

 The predominating varieties are Russell, 

 Columbia and Premier, or Premier, Eua-

 flowers and they have been selling well, 

 as the public has seemed to welcome 

 anything in the way of change. 



Perhaps the most apparent change in 

 the market condition in the last few 

 days has been the passing of the heavy 

 crop of giganteum lilies. These are now 



in only moderate supply. While the 

 price has advanced only a little insofar 

 as dozens and hundreds are concerned, 

 no one now feels the need of sacrificing 

 values and the growers are getting a 

 much better average return, greatly to 

 everyone's satisfaction. 



Orchids continue scarce, but there is 

 enough valley. Peonies are holding out
