CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



Receipts are not large and a little good 

 business would clean the market in most 

 lines, but the outlet for the lower grades 

 of material has been frozen up during 

 the past week and the result has been 

 to weaken the selling value of the bet- 

 ter grades of stock. This has not been 

 so apparent in the case of good tea 

 roses from the; fact that the supply of 

 this item has been short and it has been 

 impossible to fill all orders in the way 

 the wholesalers would like to see them 

 go out. There are considerable quan- 

 tities of low grade Brides and Maids, 

 which are hard to move. The Beautv 

 situation shows some improvement. Qual- 

 ity is no better, in fact, probably not 

 •quite so good as it was a week ago, but 

 receipts are smaller and demand a little 

 heavier. The largest growers report their 

 stock now cleaning up fairly well each 

 day. 



The receipts of carnations have been 

 •considerably larger than the require- 

 ments, but white stock has cleaned \ip 

 •quickly at good prices, the principal de- 

 mand of the week having been for fu- 

 neral material. Colored stock has been 

 sold at very low rates in large lots. 



At no time this season have violets 

 been in so bad a shape as in the last 

 week. The receipts have been very heavy 

 indeed and the outlet for the stodc has 

 been closed by the zero weather, with 

 the result that prices for even the best 

 material are very low and large quan- 

 tities go to waste. This includes many 

 thoiisands of fine stock from the Hudson 

 River district and if the returns these 

 growers get from the New York mar- 

 ket are any worse than what they will 

 get from Chicago for the past week, 

 they are indeed entitled to sympathy. 



It has become a chronic condition that 

 Romans and Paper Whites are a glut. 

 There are now abundant supplies of 

 Easter lilies and plenty of callas. Not 

 many tulips are seen and every now and 

 then a few bunches of yellow trumpet 

 narcissi. There are increasing supplies 



of sweet peas and plenty of mignonette, 

 stevia, etc. 



The absence of social work has re- 

 sulted in a slackening call for asparag:us 

 strings and smllax and other green goods 

 and there are abundant supplies. Adi- 

 antum is not so plentiful. The jobbers 

 are already taking common ferns from 

 cold storage and beginning to pick them 

 over. It looks somewhat as though they 

 might have no idle moments towards 

 spring. 



The Winandy Matter. 



The receiver for M. Winandy says that 

 he has not yet succeeded in getting much 

 light on the liabilities and assets in 

 the case, but the further he goes the 

 worse it looks. Besides those who had 

 sold Mr. Winandy material, numerous 

 parties had loaned him money and it 

 appears that some of the neighbors, fa- 

 miliar with his splendid reputation for 

 probity, had made him their banker. The 

 receiver finds, however, to say the least, 

 no haste on the part of the creditors \o 

 prove up their claims or even make pub- 

 lic the amounts. The laiw gives a year 

 in which to prove claims. In the mean- 

 time the receiver will try to keep the 

 expenses inside the receipts. If he can 

 not do it he will call a meeting of the 

 creditors and let them decide if they 

 want the plant closed. Bradstreet esti- 

 mates the liabilities at $70,000. 



Richmond Rose. 



The new Richmond rose will be largely 

 grown for this market next year. Peter 

 Reinberg has again increased his order 

 for stock and will get 15.000. The Bon- 

 they-Coatsworth Co. is considering build- 

 ing a new house 36x400 at New Castle 

 and planting it with 7.000 Richmond 

 and also planting part of another house 

 with it. Bassett & Washburn and Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co. have each bought 5.000 

 Richmond and Wietor Bros, have 2,500 

 with the privilege of doubling it within 

 a certain date. Several others have or- 

 dered smaller quantities. 



For McKinley Fund. 



H. M. Altick, of Dayton. 0., who is 

 giving so much time and effort to rais- 



ing funds for the McKinley memorial, 

 was a visitor at the Florists' Club last 

 Thursday. After listening to him the 

 club endorsed his suggestion that each 

 one who cared to do so set apart for the 

 fund a percentage of his carnation sales 

 for January 28 or 29. A committee 

 consisting of George Asmus, E. C. Am- 

 ling and Leonard Kill was appointed 

 to bring the matter before the trade and 

 the daily newspjipers. Retailers are 

 asked to give twenty-five per cent, grow- 

 ers fifteen per cent, and commission deal- 

 ers five per cent of their carnation sales. 

 Most of those present and a consider- 

 able number of others have endorsed the 

 movement. Carnation day is worth help- 

 ing along. 



At the last meeting of the club thir- 

 teen new members were elected and sev- 

 eral others proposed. 



Various Notes. 



It is reported that E. Asmus & Co., 

 on Evanston avenue, have sold their 

 stock and fixtures to Leopold Koropp, 

 who has taken a lease of the property 

 from Emil Buettner. Mr. Koropp is 

 to take possession next week. He is not 

 alone in the deal and will incorporate. 

 He will continue his place on West 

 Ravenswood Park avenue. 



Not only will the Carnation Society 

 convention attract florists to Chicago 

 next week, but the annual exhibition of 

 (the National Fanciers' and Breeders' 

 Association at the Coliseum January 

 23 to 28 will interest a number, several 

 having been exhibitors of fancy stock in 

 past years. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co. invites the Car- 

 nation Society members, and all others 

 who are interested in seeing how boilers 

 are made, to visit its big plant on the 

 north side. 



Gus I^nge says that the zero weather 

 has had a very bad effect on transient 

 trade in the down-town district. He 

 has a little something doing all the 

 time because he executes Chicago orders 

 for a good many outside florists. 



The A. Dietsch Co. has added a new 

 building to its factory to increase its 

 facilities in proportion to its increasing 

 business. °
