than is in evidence this week. Pecu- 

 liarly, nobody seems to be cutting any 

 quantity of white roses. The wide fluc- 

 tuations in temperature have resulted in 

 considerable mildew in the cases of 

 growers who do not maintain steam and 

 vigilance, but there are plenty of good 

 roses of typical summer size. Mrs. Rus- 

 sell is beginning to be a considerable 

 factor afad is the finest rose on the mar- 

 ket. Sunburst also shows up nicely and 

 has been in special request through 

 June. 



Peonies have been selling well and 

 will be practically cleaned up this week, 

 except for one lot the holder of which 

 usually takes things easy. Easter lilies 

 are coming in less plentifully and are 

 selling much better than at any time 

 since Easter. The special demand for 

 valley is abating; enormous quantities 

 liave been sold this month. Cattleyas 

 are not abundant, but neither are they 

 in much request, though some super- 

 latively fine stock is seen. Rubrum 

 lilies, the poor man 's orchids, are abund- 

 ant. For a week or more the arrivals of 

 candidum lilies from Benton Harbor and 

 other Michigan points have been more 

 than the market could assimilate. Shasta 

 daisies are everywhere. Sweet peas are 

 no longer an important factor. Gladioli 

 are less plentiful this week, but there is 

 news of a flood on the way. 



The green goods market is quiet. The

 cates that everyone has them now. 



There has been no concerted action in 

 the matter of early closing, but some of 

 the houses have hung out signs an- 

 nouncing 5 p. m. "as the closing hour dur- 

 ing July, August and September. Doubt- 

 less all the important houses will close

Association Meeting. 



A. T. Pyfer, secretary of the Cook 

 County Florists ' Association, states that 

 there was an attendance of thirty mem- 

 bers at the June meeting, when the 

 bowling prizes for the season just closed 

 were distributed. William Lorman, with 

 the A. L. Randall Co., was appointed 

 chairman of the sports committee, in 

 place of Peter Olsem, who felt that he 

 does not get into town often enough to 

 serve. An outing on a lake steamer 

 was proposed and the matter was placed 

 in the hands of a committee consisting 

 of three committee chairmen, as fol- 

 lows: Paul Klingsporn, of the good of 

 the club committee; "William Lorman, of 

 the sports committee, and A. C. Kohl- 

 brand, of the transportation committee. 



A proposition Was presented by the 



Gregory Tours Association with refer- 

 ence to a trip to San Francisco during 

 the exposition. An offer was made to 

 take a pal-ty of 100 on a special train 

 for two weeks, $152 to cover all ex- 

 penses and seven days to be given in 

 San Francisco during the week of the 

 S. A. F. convention, in case it is held 

 there. No action was taken, but it was 

 thought worth while to start a list of 

 those who would go. President Miller 

 later reported he had twelve names. 



Visitors to The Review. 



Visitors to The Review in the last 

 week have remarked that they felt more 

 than ever at home, as they found the 

 office in the hands of builders in process 

 of the same overhauling and enlarge- 

 ment the greenhouse maYi tackles in the 

 summer-time, preparatory to an in- 

 creased output in the autumn.
