ment. Boses are not in large supply. 

 While a few growers are cutting from 

 stock handled specially to give a sum- 

 mer crop of medium to long stems, most 

 of the receipts are cut from the spring 's 

 planting and are short in stem. Quality 

 varies from day to day; after a cool 

 day the receipts are in fair condition, 

 but following a hot day much of the 

 stock is wide open. Short white con- 

 tinues in special demand. Sunburst is 

 making a name for itself as a summer 

 rose, and Badiance is seen in good 

 shape. Maryland is generally in better 

 condition than Killarney, but is no- 

 where near so numerous. 



Gladioli are not coming forward so 

 fast as usual, because of dry weather, 

 but the supply nevertheless is increas- 

 ing everv day. The three old stand- 

 bys, America, King and Augusta, are 

 now available and are, of course, most 

 salable. Shasta daisies are not. quite 

 so bad a glut as last week. The situa- 

 tion on Easter lilies has changed sharp- 

 ly. At the opening of the month these 

 were sold at the lowest average price 

 ever known in this market, but they 

 now are back to normal for the season, 

 selling well because of the shortage of 

 other first-class flowers. The demand 

 for valley and orchids has fallen away, 

 and the light supply is abundant. Peo- 

 nies are practically cleaned up; they 

 have cut no figure since June. Outdoor 

 aweet peas are beginning to be a market 

 :factor, but the quality is not what the 

 Ibest trade requires. 



There is little doing in green goods. 

 Demand is light and supplies are not 

 large. Sprengeri is more abundant than 

 it has been recently.

Wienhoeber Store Changes. 



For many years the store of the E. 

 Wienhoeber Co., on Elm street, has been 

 known far and wide as the most con- 

 spicuous example of the flower shop 

 without an ice-box. The cut flowers on 

 display have stood on a gracefully 

 curved counter across one corner of the 

 open store. It has been decided to 

 change this and during the annual reno- 

 vation a fine big display refrigerator 

 will replace the time-honored flower 

 counter. It will stand at the west end 

 of the store, so that it can be iced from 

 the alley, thereby saving the muss and 

 wear and tear in the store. The Wien- 

 hoeber store is dull in the summer, for 

 the family trade is out of town, but a 

 specially good season is expected this 

 year, as the completion of expensive 

 apartment buildings is just now con- 

 siderably increasing the population in 

 the neighborhood. 



Wm. Wienhoeber and wife are ex- 

 pected home in the next few days, from 

 Yuma, Colo., where they have been for 

 a month at the ranch of some friends- 

 Various Notes. 



Another special train from Chicago 

 to Minneapolis for the S. A. F. con- 

 vention has been announced by H. A. 

 Gross, general agent for the passenger 

 department of the Chicago & North- 

 western railroad. This train will leave 

 at 6:45 p. m., the same hour as the 

 trains on rival roads, the evening of 

 August 18, arriving early the following 

 morning in Minneapolis. According to 

 Mr. Gross, the train has been put on by 

 his company in response to requests 

 from out-of-town and local florists who 

 do not wish to take either the Chicago 

 Florists' Club's or Cook County Flo- 

 rists' Association's specials. This 

 makes four special trains carded to
