LORRAINES. 



How can I get some growth on my 

 young plants of Gloire de Lorraine! 

 They are simply all bloom from the 

 ground up. Do you recommend disbud- 

 ding; would it help? C. P. N. 



It is now too late to pinch off the flow- 

 ers of the begonias except it be the most 

 advanced. Stopping the plants, that is, 

 pinching the ends of the growths, would 

 be little use at this season, as you would 

 not get a new growth and flower in time 

 to make the plants attractive at the holi- 

 days and that is the time they are in 

 greatest demand. While its extraordi- 

 nary propensity to bloom is the great 

 attraction of this beautiful begonia, if 

 the plants do not make a free growth in 

 August, September and October they 

 will become stunted by this profusion of 

 flower. I don't think you can remedy 

 the trouble at this season. W. S. 



CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



The market has been strong ever since 

 last report. The usual shortening up 

 before a holiday was very apparent a 

 week ago and up to Tuesday night the 

 receipts were of very moderate propor- 

 tions in comparison to the demand. 

 Tuesday evening, when the principal 

 shipping business for Thanksgiving was 

 done, found practically every rose and 

 carnation of shipping quality packed up 

 and on its way to an out-of-town buyer. 

 The city people undertook to pick up 

 some small quantities of stock on Tues- 

 day but found prices beyond their reach. 

 Beauties were in good demand and in 

 probably better supply than almost any 

 other item, a large part of the receipts 

 being of superior quality. Good roses 

 were short of the requirements for the 

 shipping trade and carnations of very 

 indifferent quality had to be sent out to 

 c<Mnplete many orders. Possibly the car- 

 nation market was stiff er than any other 

 department. A great many of the better 

 sorts of chrysanthemums were cut out 

 before the rush of Thanksgiving busi- 

 ness. The supply, however, was abund- 

 ant, with somewhat indifferent quality. 

 Home-grown violets were not in active 

 demand, but the Hudson river stock went 

 well. The A. xj. Bandall Co. says that 

 their customers out of town will not take 

 anything but New York violets. There 

 are again considerable quantities of cal- 

 las in the market and green goods are 

 abundant. Some good bouvardia is seen, 

 also a few sweet peas. Lily of the valley 

 is plentiful, also Paper Whites. 



Practically every out-of-town buyer 

 was heard from for Thanksgiving but in 

 many cases the requirements were not 

 large. It is thought, however, that the 

 Thanksgiving shipping business will foot 

 up equal to the best previous record. 

 City trade on Wednesday took fair quan- 

 tities of stock, but the pressure was con- 

 siderably relieved and receipts increased 

 as usual, for there are many growers who 

 will not learn that the best market is al- 

 ways the second day before a holiday. 



Sunday and Monday saw a very active 

 demand for flrst-class stock for funeral 

 purposes, for on Monday two of Chi- 

 cago's best known citizens were buried, 

 Arthur J. Caton and Judge Moran. All 

 the leading retailers supplied good work. 



A Permanent Hall. 



The great success of last week's flow- 

 er show has renewed the talk of a per- 

 manent place for our exhibitions. In 

 Paris there is a building which is erect- 

 ed and removed whenever required. Such 

 a one is talked of for the lake front. C. 

 L. Hutchison is its sponsor. 



The Banquet. 



There were seventy-seven at the supper 

 at the Union Thursday evening, Novem- 

 ber 17, several prominent gentlemen of 

 the local contingent being conspicuous by 

 their absence, and there were also other 

 visitors whom it would have been a pleas- 

 ure to have had present. The repast was 

 all right and so was the music. W. N. 

 Rudd, president of the Florists' Club, 

 presided. Among the speakers were Wm. 

 Duckham, Paul Dailledouze, W. A. Ken- 

 nedy, Geo. Asmus, P. J. Hauiswirth and 

 J. C. Vaughan, of the trade, and Mayor 

 Crolius, of Joliet. John P. Degnan, who 

 arranged the affair, is to be congratula- 

 ted on its success. 



Various Notes. 



E. C. Amling says that it is a mistake 

 for the growers to regard Thanksgiving 

 as an occasion necessitating hoarding up 

 stock to secure a supply. Cuts are al- 

 ways large at this season and, with large 

 quantities of mums in the market, the 

 question is only one of getting enough 

 good stock. Hoarding up never im- 

 proves grades. He has his growers pret- 

 ty well enlightened in this respect. 



E. E. Pieser says he has never seen 

 anything like the way the violet market 

 has fluctuated the past few days. One 

 day the buyers would be scrambling for 

 them and the next choice stock could 

 scarcely be moved at ill. 



Andrew McAdams has been seriously 

 ill with pneumonia but is now thought to 

 be well on the road to recovery. 



Peter Reinberg returned from his 

 hunting expedition with three fine deer. 



Emil Buettner was taken ill last week 

 and has been operated on for appendi- 

 citis. He is recovering nicely. 



C. W. McKellar supplied, so he says, 

 all the orchids exhibited at last week's 

 show except, of course, those of Messrs. 

 Selfridge and Uihlein. "^ 



P. J. Demas, of Pittsburg, is in town 

 this week, buying stock. There were
