MPTitlon Thp Review when yoa write. 



'with longer stems than heretofore and 

 soma excellent stoek is to be had in 

 moderate quantity. The yellow_roses 

 are extremely popular and there are 

 splendid crops of Sunburst. It is in 

 better supply than any of the other so- 

 called novelty roses and the improve- 

 ment in the quality in the last few 

 days has been a matter for general 

 comment. 



It was not possible to get all the car- 

 nations that were needed October 6, 

 many houses finding it necessary to cut 

 practically all the afternoon orders, 

 with jthe result that prices stiffened. 

 Good stock has been moving rapidly 

 for some time and it is a case of first 

 come first served. Valley is experi- 

 encing its usual October run, there be- 

 ing a fine demand for weddings, etc. 

 Ivilies are not overplentiful and the 

 price holds firm. Cosmos has come 

 •gain and other miscellaneous stock is 

 being cut in quantity, while violets 

 from the New York growers are ar- 

 riving in good-sized lots but do not ap- 

 pear to be of extra quality. Cattleyas 

 are rather Jess plentiful than a week 

 ago. Oncidiums continue abundant and 

 fine. Snapdragon has appeared. 



The greens market is quiet. Stuilax, 

 continues scarce, but there is enough of 

 everything else. Boxwood has arrived. 



Various Notes. 



The agreement under which the local 

 wholesalers' credit association was 

 formed was for one year and expires 

 this month. While the arrangement 

 has resulted in much good in certain 

 directions, it is understood that some of 

 those who were parties to the original 

 agreement will not renew, with the prob- 

 ability that this will result in the dis- 

 solution of the association. A plan has 

 been broached for a new association, or 

 a reorganization of tlie old one, which 

 eliminates the delinquent list feature 

 but which will supply equally exact 

 credit information. 



Boukidis & Remains have leased a 

 store in the new Fort Dearborn hotel 

 building, at the southeast corner of La 

 Salle and Van Buren streets, for ten 

 years at a term rent of $80,000 and 

 will occupy it as a salesroom for 

 flowers, fruit, candy and soda water. 

 This will give them two downtown 

 stores, they recently having leased an 

 L-shaped store in the building formerly 

 occupied by the Hub at the southwest 

 corner of State and Quincy streets, for 

 which they pay an annual rent of 

 $8,500. 



^ ney flower store has been opened 

 at 507 South Wabash avenue, just south 

 of Congress street, by Nicholas Mos- 



conesotes. He has been in the flower 

 business for some time a§^ a rgj fftiler and 

 formerly had a store at the southwest 

 corner of Randolph and Wabash, where 

 the new Marshall Field building is go- 

 ing up. 



A. T. Pyfer comments on the fact 

 that many growers, particularly of car- 

 nations, do not ship Monday, because 

 they do not pick anything Sunday, but 

 send in two days' production Tuesday, 

 It is a recognized fact that ordinarily 

 this market is much stronger on Mon- 

 day than it is on Tuesday. Shipping 

 trade ordinarily is much heavier Mon- 

 day than it is the day following. 



J. H. McNeilly now does business at 

 Sixty-third street and University ave- 

 nue. He has not moved; the city map 

 department simply has renamed his 

 street. 



T^. ,E. Waters, of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., is extremely busy these days, much 

 of his time being required for the dye- 

 ing of baskets imported in the natural 

 state. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says he has been surprised at the 

 strength of the market since he re- 

 turned from his vacation. He had not 

 expected to find business anywhere near 

 so good.
