urally have advanced; they now are 

 averaging about the usual summer fig- 

 ures. The growers who are carrying 

 over their old roses are now drying 

 them off and practically all the stock 

 cut is from young plants. A larger 

 proportion of the roses were replanted 

 this year and there is beginning to be a 

 fair cut from the young stock. Of 

 course stems are short, in most cases, 

 and buds are small. White continues 

 in best demand. Although Killamey 

 predominates, Sunburst probably gets 

 more attention than any other variety; 

 it has come rapidly to the front as a 

 summer rose. A number of growers 

 now are cutting Mrs. Russell and every- 

 one appears to think highly o£ it, al- 

 though its true character can not be 

 judged from the short-stemmed flowers 

 ■now seen. 



Possibly the most abundant item on 

 •the list is giganteum lilies; these are 

 coming heavily, but the price is being 

 fairly well maintained because of the 

 general light supply. Shasta daisies also 

 are abundant, though not in such over- 

 supply as was the case a fortnight ago. 

 They are not particularly good prop- 

 erty. Orchids have shortened up, al- 

 though there is no special demand. Val- 

 ley is not plentiful, little demand being 

 anticipated in July. 



Outdoor Bweet peas show the effects 

 •of the severe heat and lack of rain 

 early in the season. Only a few are 

 coming in and not many of these are 

 good. 



Greens are more plentiful, especially 

 iimilax, and there is an abundance of 

 Asparagus plumosus bunches. 



In spite of the general shortage in 

 :fltoek, average prices are not up to the

usual summer level, according to gen- 

 eral report. It nevertheless is said by 

 most of the wholesale houses that daily 

 sales foot up at least as good a total 

 as last year at this time, statements 

 that are difficult to reconcile. 



Various Notes. 



The Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion held its monthly meeting at the 

 Tavern July 17, with an attendance of 

 about twenty members. Vice-president 

 Allie Zech occupied the chair, because 

 of the absence of President Eohlbrand 

 on vacation. It was the first time Vice- 

 president Zech had been called on to 

 preside, but he acquitted himself with 

 much credit. An address on greenhouse 

 insurance was given by Florian D. Wal- 

 lace, listened to with so much interest 

 that several growers present indicated 

 their intention of covering themselves 

 on all classes of insurance. It was de- 

 cided to hold the next meeting August 



14, as the regular night falls in conven- 

 tion week. 



Erne & Klingel, who have been fiU' 

 ing more or less supply orders foi" sev- 

 eral months, plan to put in a stO' k of 

 staple articles. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co. h** 

 dropped carnations, except for a small 

 quantity grown for the local tra <ie «* 

 Batavia. 



.John Poehlmann, president of F-iehl' 

 mann Bros. Co., devotes several days 

 each week to automobile trips to nearby 

 lake resorts. 



A. C. Kohlbrand is again on "ioty 

 with the E. C. Amling Co, after a ^ve«K 

 with the trout at Torch lake. 



Miss 0. A. Tonner has acquired on«
