grow them as a side issue, works a 

 real hardship on the legitimate grower, 

 who grows flowers for a livelihood. 



Good asters are scarce, but those 

 ranging in quality from merely indif- 

 ferent to really bad are more than 

 abundant, and moving these is almost 

 a hopeless task. The Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemums that timidly began en- 

 tering the market a week ago were 

 accorded a most chilly reception. Too 

 early, is the general comment. It is 

 almost inconceivable that growers will 

 continue shipping to the market such 

 pathetic offerings as coreopsis, daisies, 

 gaillardias^ gypsophilas and their ilk 

 make at this late season. No one 

 wants them. 



Roses have increased, both in sup- 

 ply and length of stem. Prices are 

 a trifle weaker. The demand holds 

 steady, with surely no decrease, but 

 with no apparent increase. Quality is 

 good. Russell, because of its keeping 

 qualities and beauty, and Ophelia, be- 

 cause of its superlative beauty, hold 

 the public favor. The Killarney fam- 

 ily, though, never lacks for friends. 

 Beauties are clearing well, though not 

 at a high figure. 



Valley has the distinction of being 

 the only scarce item with any real de- 

 mand. And from all present indica- 

 tions, the growers are going to hold 



it on the scarce side until the buying 

 public acquires a fixed habit of re- 

 garding it as a rare thing and greatly 

 to be desired. Orchids are at last be- 

 ginning to experience a slightly in- 

 creased demand, but cattleyas this 

 year have not enjoyed the usual Au- 

 gust call. The supply of lilies con- 

 tinues to be fully equal to all require- 

 ments. 



Owing, perhaps, to the great supply 

 of cut flowers, greens have not been 

 found as necessary an item as usual. 



Various Notes. 



After a six weeks' visit at the Pa- 

 cific coast C. Frauenf elder, 3343 W^t 

 Madison street, his wife and little 

 daughter, returned last week to Chi- 

 cago. Mr. Frauenfelder says they have 

 had a most enjoyable vacation but they 

 didn't wait for the convention. 



A. L. Randall has shipped hundreds 

 of thousands of gladiolus blooms from 

 his farm in Michigan this season and 

 is reported to consider prices received 

 as affording sufficient profit to justify 

 increased acreage next year. 



Paul Richmond, for some time head 

 designer with George Walther, 435 

 West Sixty-third street, who recently 

 married Miss Grace Goodall, a former 

 associate in the establishment of Mr. 

 Walther, reports that they are home 



after a most enjoyable trip, and that 

 he is ready to assume his new duties 

 with William J. Smyth, Thirty-first 

 street and Michigan avenue, as suc- 

 cessor to Arthur A. Weatherwax, who 

 has purchased the store of €arah 

 Lindon, 828 East Forty-seventh street. 



V. A. Kohout, trading as the Lawn- 

 dale Florist, 3212 West Twenty-second 

 street, has given further evidence of 

 his progressiveness by placing an or- 

 der for a fine White truck. Mr. 

 Kohout expects the car to be delivered 

 about the middle of September. 



As a result of the unprecedentedly 

 cool weather, J. A. Mendel, 1424 West 

 BJgfflW5<*th street, has sold his summer i 

 home at Foj» Lake, 111. He can sec 

 no use in leaving Chicago in quest of 

 more comfortable summer quarters. 



In answer to an appeal that appeared 

 in the daily papers calling on auto- 

 mobile owners to contribute the use 

 01 their cars to aid the Red Cross in 

 its work of relieving those rendered 

 destitute, by the* recent Eastland dis- 

 aster, two well known members of the 

 trade came to the front last week. 

 But when Joseph Ziska, Jr., of the sup- 

 ply house of Joseph Ziska & Sons, and 

 Frank J. Krai, Jr., 1907 South Halsted 

 street, reported with their cars, the 

 society got more than that for which 

 it nrlvei"tised, for both these eentle-
