During the slack season, Louis Gre- 

 senz, 1433 Clybourn avenue, devotes his

 Growers' Association, left July 13 for 

 a week 's vacation with relatives at 

 McHenry, 111. 



That out-of-town business has been 

 exceptionally good is the report of 

 Hoerber Bros. 



The employees at George Reinberg's 

 store are expecting a shipment of fish 

 from Frank Hagen, who is in northern 

 Wisconsin with Henry Kruchten. Be- 

 fore he left Mr. Hagen cut his crop of 

 prize-winning gladioli, which he had 

 planted in window boxes at the store. 



A blockade of the streetcars, causing 

 them to miss the boat, was the reason

 Cook County Florists' Association's 

 outing July 12. 



Miss M. C. Gunterberg is in charge 

 of the wholesale store while John Sin-

 committee that arranged his financial 

 aflfairs last winter.

 visited Erne & Klingel July 13, stating

 ally finished. He is much pleased with 

 his new range of Garland houses. The

 000 feet of glass, all in roses, carna- 

 tions and violets.

 due to hemorrhage of the lungs. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



The lethargy of summer was felt to 

 a marked degree in the trade last week. 

 Although business had been good up to 

 July 4, there was then a sudden slump, 

 which has been felt by all the florists 

 alike. A large percentage of the city 

 patrons have gone to their summer 



^ Budlong's 



E Blue Ribbon Valley 



homes, where field flowers are plentiful. 

 The weather has been extremely warm 

 and such weather always paralyzes 

 business at this time of the year. Sweet 

 peas seem to be the best selling flowers 

 in the market. They are in good • o"' 

 dition and the sujiply is strong. Th^ 

 prices, however, are low. Harrisii anu 

 candidum lilies are plentiful. Roses are 

 an uncertain quantity and are not oi 

 lasting quality. There are, however, a 

 few good summer roses, such as KuS' 

 sell, Kaiserin, Mrs. Aaron Ward and 

 Milady. They seem to be the best keep- 

 ers. Coreopsis, candytuft, Liliuni ru- 

 brum, cornflowers, Shasta daisies, g}'?' 

 aophilas, etc., are in demand noW- 

 Southern ferns are much improve<l ^^' 

 our native ones are excellent. ThC^ 

 is an abundance of smilax and aspara- 

 gus. Carnations are becoming snialle
