increasing as fast as do the cuts of large 

 mums. 



The sweet pea has practically the 

 whole of the demand for corsage flowers 

 and, as the supply is not yet large, all 

 good stock sells quickly. Valley has en- 

 joyed some advance. Orchids are be- 

 coming somewhat more plentiful. 



Lilies have cleaned up after a long 

 period of oversupply and have become 

 good property. 



The weather has warmed up again 

 this week, not at all to the advantage of 

 the business, but demand continues to 

 show increased activity. 



Well Pleased. 



The following interesting letter has 

 come from C. M. Quirey, secretary and 

 treasurer of the Jacob Schulz Co., Louis- 

 ville: 



We have read with interest nil item under 

 Chicago market conditions, written by your Chi- 

 cago correspondent, in which he states that dah- 

 lias shipped to the Chicago wliolesale market by 

 the Jacob Schulz Co., of Louisville, are not sell- 

 ing very readily to the retail florists. 



This is the second season we have shipped 

 dahlias to the Chicago wholesale houses. Last 

 season the returns on our dahlias averaged any- 

 where from 4 cents to 8 cents per bloom, and 

 while our average this season has not been quite 

 BO high on account of weather conditions, there 

 being so much other outdoor stock on the mar- 

 ket, our returns from the majority of the Chi- 

 cago wholesalers have been very satisfactory. 



The fact that we are receiving telegrams from 

 Chicago every few days for dahlias shows that 

 someone Is making use of our stock. Your Chi- 

 cago correspondent possibly came in contact with 

 one of the commission houses where our stock 

 was not moving quite so readily as It Is with 

 other Chicago establishments. 



The letter is worth a place in this 

 column because it is so unusual for a 

 shipper to express satisfaction with re- 

 turns. The Schulz dahlias probably 

 have sold better than any others that 

 ever came to this market, but dahlias

The Allied Florists' Association plans 

 to open the fall campaign in the first or 

 second week of November with a "Say 



It with Flowers" week in which it is 

 hoped nearly all the florists in Chicago 

 will participate. The directors have 

 appropriated $3,500 for publicity dur- 

 ing this week and elaborate prepara- 

 tions are being made to arouse the pub- 

 lic 's interest.
