circle which will include Detroit, Cleve- 

 land, Buffalo, Boston, New York, Phila- 

 delphia and Washington. 



Another New Orleans florist here 

 last week was Miss Henderson, with 

 the Metairie Ridge Nursery Co., who 

 was on her way to Cleveland. 



J. S. Wilson and wife, with their son, 

 Charles, of Des Moines, drove to Chi- 

 cago last week in their Cadillac and 

 joined the party from the Chicago Flow- 

 er Growers' Association, taking their 

 daughter, who lives here, for the road 

 trip to Cleveland. Mr. Wilson devoted 

 August 14 to his fall shopping in the 

 market, placing a big bulb order. 



C. F. Kimmey, manager of the florist's 

 department in the store of L. S. Don- 

 aldson Co., Minneapolis, was here last 

 week on his way to Cleveland. Donald- 

 son 's is one of the few department 

 stores which has made a success of a 

 flower section conducted like a flower 

 store. 



J. A, Lambert passed through the 

 city August 13 on his way from west- 

 ern territory to Laporte, Ind., where he 

 intended to stop for material from the 

 Ove Gnatt Co., to exhibit at Cleveland. 



E. H. Kunze, of the Newton Floral 

 Co., Newton, Kan., was here August 

 16, to join the Chicago party going to 

 the convention. He is introducing a 

 new geranium, named Kansas. 



Otto "Von Siebenthal, of Siebenthal & 

 Nelson, Inc., Peoria, 111., passed through 

 Chicago last week on his way to New 

 York on business for the fraternal or- 

 der, the Eagles. He found time to 

 spend a few hours in the market. 



N. P. Lindberg, of Rugby, N. D., 

 spent August 16 here, on his way to the 

 convention. 



I. L. Pillsbury, of Galesburg, was here 

 August 16, to join the Chicago delega- 

 tion for the trip to Cleveland. 



■^. C. Horgan, of the Idle Hour Nurs- 

 eries, Macon, Ga., stopped in the mar- 

 ket August 13 just long enough to re- 

 ceive a few welcoming handshakes and 

 to get a check cashed. Like most south- 

 erners, Mr. Horgan always gets a warm 

 greeting in Chicago.

The Market. 



Eeports of the leading retailers indi- 

 cate that business has been dull in all 

 lines and that funeral work is all that 

 keeps them busy some days; they buy 

 sparingly during the summer months. 



The wholesale market is quiet, with 

 plenty of good stock on hand to fill any 

 orders that come in, especially in the 

 case of roses. The large coolers are 

 filled with stock of excellent quality. 

 Columbia, Premier, Bussell and Ophelia 

 are in the majority, the best coming in 



from outside points, as many of the 

 local rose growers are not yet in crop 

 with their young stock. 



A few carnations are coming in, but 

 have little call, as the many asters have 

 taken their place for the present. As- 

 ters are plentiful and are in excellent 

 demand. 



Gladiolus spikes are in large supply 

 and are cheap in large lots. Even the 

 particularly choice flowers of America, 

 Schwaben, Panama and Chicago White 

 are down as low as $4 and $5 per hun- 

 dred. The recent good rains have 

 greatly revived them. 



There is also a large lot of outdoor
