CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



Seasonable cool weather arrived at the 

 close of last week and has had a con- 

 siderable effect in reducing receipts, 

 which have been further cut down by the 

 practice which many growers refuse to 

 abandon of storing up stock for a holi- 

 day. The result is that this week has 

 found the market but scantily supplied. 

 With demand fairly active it has become 

 somewhat difficult to supply all require- 

 ments and prices are on the upward grade. 

 it is likely that the end of the week 

 will see the full Thanksgiving list in 

 force and the growers will be serving 

 their own best interests if they let the 

 stock come along then, instead of holding 

 it until after the shipping demand for 

 Thanksgiving has ceased. This promises 

 to be very heavy but it will come practi- 

 cally to an end on November 22. 



There is every prospect of good sup- 

 plies in all lines for the I'hanksgiving 

 business. Some of the mid-season var- 

 ieties of chrysanthemums will be cut out, 

 but the good late sorts will be abundant 

 and of very fine quality. There con be 

 no question but that the stock in general, 

 including chrysanthemums, roses and car- 

 nations, will be of better quality than 

 usual for Thanksgiving. Chicago made 

 the show at St. Louis last week, where 

 the uniform high quality of the exhibits 

 was generally commented upon. Chicago 

 is making a show for herself this week 

 and next week the local growers will de- 

 vote their energies to making a show for 

 their customers on Thanksgiving orders. 



The Beauty crops are running largely 

 to long-stemmed stock and quality is 

 superb. Tea roses are not as abundant 

 as they were, but average quality is bet- 

 ter than at any time so far this season. 

 Carnations are already up to the best 

 mid-winter standard and from all indica- 

 tions this market is to have a superior 

 quality of this flower an through the 

 season. Every grower reports the plants 

 looking better than ever before at this 

 date. 



The receipts of violets have shortened 

 in keeping with the decrease in other 

 lines. Good singles were sold at $1 per 

 hundred early this week and good Mew 

 York doubles at $1.50, which are the 

 prices quoted in the advance Thanksgiving 

 lists. There are likely to be further ad- 

 vances on this item for Thanksgiving. 



Eed roses, too, are suffer in price and are 

 likely to go above quoted rates for the 

 holiday. 



Smilax has become one of the plentiful 

 items and is weakening in price. Other 

 items of green goods hold about as here- 

 tofore. 



Various Notes. 



The banquet committee, John P. Deg- 

 nan, chairman, has made arrangements 

 for the annual supper to take place at 

 the Uuion Hotel this evening.. It is ex- 

 pected that a large numoer of visitors 

 will be present and that the supper will 

 be one of the most largely attenaed in 

 the history of the local trade. 



E. E. Pieser saya that the growers who 

 have made the most money on mums this 

 year are those who have produced such 

 sorts as Ivory of medium eraae. These 

 flowers have sold in quantity at prices 

 which paid better than the production of 

 exhibition stuff. 



C. W. McKellar reports that it ts just 

 between crops with orchids for flower 

 show week and that the demand, particu- 

 larly for cattleyas, exceeded the supply. 



John Poehlmann, manager of the sell- 

 ing department of Poehlmann Bro.s. Co., 

 and Miss B. E. Parker were married Sat- 

 urday evening at the bride's home at 

 Morton Grove. They are receiving the 

 congratulations of everyone in the trade, 

 to most of whom the announcement was 

 a surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Poehlmann 

 have taken up their residence in the city. 



Peter Eeinberg has gone to Butternut, 

 Wis., with a party of hunters for a two 

 weeks' outing. Mr. Eeinberg 's new resi- 

 dence is nearly finished. The Foley Mfg. 

 Co. supplied all the interior finish. When 

 Mr. Eeinberg moves into the new home, 

 Leonard Kill will move into the old Eein- 

 berg residence next door. 



George Eeinberg shipped one order on 

 Tuesday which included 1,050 Beauties,, 

 mostly long-stemmed. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. reports a 

 good business in the line of wild smilax, 

 which Scenis to b" going better this sea- 

 son than it did last year. 



Messrs. Herrington and Duckham, 

 judges at the St. Louis flower show, 

 visited the Poehlmann Bros.* estnblish- 

 ment at Morton Grove on Monday to 

 see how the prize stock looks on the 

 plants. 



L. Coatsworth reports that the call for 

 seed of the Benthey aster promises to 

 exhaust the supply in a very short time. 



E. C. Amling reports that he has an- 

 other big crop of smilax just ready to 

 cut. He has had a big business on 

 "green goods" this fall. 



The A. L. Randall Co. is rearranging 

 its counter space and building a new cool 

 room for carnations. 



Weiland & Eisch have put in arc 

 lights to take the place of gas in their 

 store, which was already well lighted. 



Vaughan & Sperry are still getting very 

 fine Kaiserin roses. 



Adam Zender has three big houses of 

 Cbatenay. A part of his cut goes to Mil- 

 waukee. 



The town is full of visitors this week,, 

 attracted by the flower show. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Business has not been anything to 

 boast of during the past week, but hap- 

 pily the avalanche of chrysanthemums ia 

 passing away. After several rather de- 

 pressing days the market stiffened on 

 November 12, all flowers clearing out 

 nicely. The cheaper grades of chrysan- 

 themums are now coming in less freely 

 and another week will see about the last 

 of these. Good blooms average from 

 $1.50 to $2 per dozen. Prices on Amer- 

 ican Beauties, Brides and Bridesmaids 

 remain about the same. Liberty^ how- 

 ever, is in strong demand, bringing up 

 to $10 per hundred for the best. Carna- 

 tions show a slightly hardening tend- 

 ency and will advance as the mums de- 

 cline. Violets are more plentiful, but 

 there is a brisk demand, the best going 

 as high as $1 per hundred. Lily of the 

 valley maintains previous quotations. 

 Paper White narcissi, bouvardia, mig- 

 nonette, Easter lilies, sweet peas and 

 pansies are seen in the market in small 

 quantities. Adiantum and asparagus 

 sell better. 



A Visit to Brookline. 



The garden committee of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society paid a 

 visit to the estate of Joseph H. White, 

 Brookline, on November 10, to inspect 

 the greenhouses. The head gardener, 

 James Wheeler, who is the newly elected 

 vice-president of the C. 8. A., met the 

 party on arrival and showed them every 

 courtesy. The palm house was espe-
