Large supply of mafimificent stock in all lengths. This stock is equal to the 

 best and better than the general run of stock now offered ia this market.

Carnations 



Carnations are improving wonderfully in quality, and the stock we are 

 offering is unusually fine for this season of the year. We have all the 

 best new as well as all the leading standard varieties, so order from us.

and out-of-town, of the various houses 

 have been well cared for. 



The supply of Beauties is far short 

 of the demand and prices are accord- 

 ingly stiff. Quality in a part of the 

 stock is all that could be desired, but 

 there are many growers still fighting 

 black spot and the flowers received, 

 because of the cold weather, are unus- 

 ually tight. 



Anything in the shape of a rose, be 

 it long or short, fancy or poor stock, 

 clears with an astonishing rapidity. 

 Short roses are practically unobtain- 

 able, but as all lengths are scarce, there 

 is never a quibble as to length, qual- 

 ity or color. The variety that leads 

 this week is the one that chances to 

 be most abundant. 



Even if the market were long, the 

 carnations that are being received 

 would call forth favorable comment. 

 Oood color, solid flowers and stiff stems 

 of fair length characterize the stock 

 generally. iLittle opportunity, how- 

 ever, is afforded for inspection, as car- 

 nations are in view only as they are 

 in transit from the receiving to the 

 shipping boxes or the city bundle. 



Chrysanthemums, too, are short of 

 the demand. The second batch of early 

 mums is remarkably tardy in arriving 

 on the scene. Chrysolora is the best 

 variety now available. Unaka is avail- 

 able on orders for pink. Valley con- 

 tinues scarce, and is not always forth- 

 coming even when a stiff price is of- 

 fered. Easter lilies and rubrums find 

 a ready sale. The receipts of cattleyas 

 are cleared without difficulty. Gar- 

 denias are insufficient in supply to meet 

 the requirements of the market. Sin- 

 gle violets are arriving in small num- 

 bers, but no doubles have been report- 

 ed; they are remarkably late. 



Greens are no exception to the gen- 

 eral rule and are selling well. 



Growers Will Move. 



The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation, which has been in its present 

 location, 176 North Michigan avenue, 

 for a period of five years, closed a deal 

 October 12, at a meeting of its direc- 

 tors, whereby it secures under a lease, 

 expiring April 30, 1921, 4,000 square 

 feet of street floor space in the new 

 Le Moyne building, at (Lake street and

We offer Flowers that stand inspection, but do not need it. 



Our Mums, Beauties. Koses, Carnations and other stock can be counted 

 on, but need not be counted. 



You need not check on count, nor worry about quality. We take care 

 of you.
