CHICAGO, 



The Market. 



The local deinaiul the past week has 

 been limited to white stock and a very 

 moderate amount of material has suf- 

 ficed to satisfy the call. Ship])infj trade 

 has boon fair for the Kcason but it has 

 been a hard proposition for the whole- 

 salers. Stock with quality to make it 

 come up to the requirements of the out-of- 

 town trade has been and is very scarce. 

 Beauties of fair grade are quite plenti- 

 ful, most of the young stock being just 

 on with the first crop, but other roses of 

 shipping grade are hard to find. . Brides 

 of good length of stem are desirable 

 property and bringing profitable prices. 

 Few Kaiserins are to l)e had. Other 

 roses are in less demand. 



The recent heavy rains have damiacd 

 all outdoor stock, particularly carnations 

 and Usable flowers are scarce, especialJy 

 white. Sweet peas are practK-ally out of 

 it. -Asters are very plentiful and thoro 

 is considerable waste on this item. (Jia- 

 flioli are also abundant and largely i!se<i. 

 The best hardly bring over 3 cents. 

 Dahlias of good quality are appeann?,'. 

 Small receipts of valley suflSce to make 

 this item appear plentiful, for fhere js 

 little call for it. No order ;oi- !iv(X'n 

 goods goes unsatisfied. 



Various Notes. 



H. Bauske says he sees little good rose 

 stock in sight and lays it to the wide 

 variations in temperature, some days, like 

 last Sunday, being very hot, followed by 

 nights so cool that iSres seem almost 

 a necessity. He does not look for good, 

 dean stock to be as abundant as usual 

 <*arly in the fall. 



The town was full of convention visit- 

 ors Sunday and for several days this 

 week, among them President Breitmeyer, 

 who found time to call on Edgar San- 

 ders. He was accompanied by Mrs. 

 Breitmeyer and when they went east Mrs. 

 !*• J. Hauswirth went along, intending 

 to go on to Buffalo for a visit. 



Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is cutting 

 Ronthey 's Perfection aster in quantity. 



The F. E. Butler I-ioral Co. will open 

 a retail store at 291 Dearborn street 

 about September 10. There is no flower 

 >*tore within several blocks.

(Seorge H. Phelps died at his home 

 hero August 17. He was 52 years of 

 age and had been ill since Christmas, at 

 which time he was taken to the City 

 Hospital for an operation for an ab- 

 cess, from which he never recovered. 

 After five weeks in the hospital he re- 

 turned home but was confined to his bed 

 until death relieved him. Mr. Phelps 

 was one of the most 8Uc(;es8ful growers 

 of carnations in the east, always having 

 the best blooms shown in this vicinity. 

 He was a man of unusual intelligence 

 and a very interesting conversationalist. 

 He leaves a widow and one daughter.

The regular meeting of the Dobbs 

 Ferry Horticultural Association was held 

 August 13, President Dunbar in the 

 chair. The aster was the subject for the 

 evening's discussion. Very few seemed 

 to have asters this year. free from dis- 

 ease, many having large patches of 

 them all diseased. There were a few 

 nice blooms of the Pride of the Market 

 aster staged. J. Bradley was awarded 

 five points and Claud Wilson three. The 

 judges were J, Cook and Mr, Bomer. 

 The subject for our next meeting is to 

 be tomatoes, J. B. 



Cumberland Hill, R. I. — Fred I.

 time and grew a crop of vegetable plants 

 in it, including 16,000 tomato and 10,- 

 000 cabbage. This year he is putting 

 up a house 20x60 for roses.
