THE LARGEST, BEST EQUIPPED AND MOST CENTRALLY 

 LOCATED WHOLESALE CUT FLOWER HOUSE IN CHICAGO 



32-34-36 Randolph St., 



CHICAGO, ILL^ 



Mrttlon Hie Review when you write. 



CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



The report for the past week will de- 

 pend altogether on thcvway you look at 

 the market. If consideration is taken 

 only of the low prices at which carna- 

 tions and, particularly, peonies have sold, 

 it will be said that the market has been 

 in a most demoralized condition, but if, 

 on the other hand, consideration is taken 

 only of the number of orders and the 

 vast quantities of material which have 

 been moved, the result will be a con- 

 clusion that trade is not so bad after 

 all. As a matter of fact the totals of 

 sales in the wholesale houses have been 

 quite good, except for an occasional dull 

 day, although average prices in most 

 lines are very low indeed. 



During the past week receipts of roses 

 have shortened up materially, due in a 

 large measure to replanting operations. 

 Good roses now have a stable value and 

 Brides are occasionally hard to find. 

 Those growers who have summer crops 

 now coming on will meet a very satisfac- 

 tory market. There are still considerable 

 quantities of long Beauties, but the mar- 

 ket is much stronger on this item than it 

 was a week ago. 



Carnations continue in very lage sup- 

 ply and very low sales have been made 

 to clean up ; in fact the wholesalers haye 

 found it almost impossible to keep the 

 stock moving. On Monday morning sev- 

 eral houses opened with considerable 

 quantities of carnations carried over 

 from Saturday. The quality of stock is 

 still good for the season. Little change 

 IS looked forward to as regards carna- 



tions until toward the end of this month, 

 when the growers will begin cleaning out 

 the benches preparatory to planting for 

 next season. 



This market never had so large re- 

 ceipts of peonies as last week and some 

 of the sales reported are almost too low 

 for credence. One of the down-town 

 stores that makes a specialty of cheap 

 sales reports having bought at one place 

 that plentiful variety called "crap" for 

 2 cents per dozen, by the wagon-load. 

 Up to Monday the practice almost every- 

 where was to let the buyer make the 

 price on the grades which could not be 

 held. Good stock has largely gone into 

 storage and the first of this week saw 

 the end of the local crop. There are 

 many thousands of dozens in cold stor- 

 age, certainly more than ever before, and 

 there will be no shortage of peonies for 

 some weeks, but there are only a few 

 who have had the knack of bringing out 

 cold storage stock in the right shape. 

 This grade of goods will likely bring a 

 fair price, no matter how much of the 

 poor stock there may be to be slaugh- 

 tered. 



Receipts of sweet peas continue exces- 

 sively heavy, but the flower is in as 

 good demand as any other item in the 

 list. Valley is doing well because of the 

 wedding season. Few callas are seen and 

 Harrisii lilies have again assumed their 

 normal position. Gladioli are more plen- 

 tiful but sell fairly well. A few water 

 lilies are seen. "Green goods" are do- 

 ing fairly well, but smilax is a little 

 more plentiful and slightly lower in 

 price. 



On "Wednesday the weather again 

 turned hot, to the injury of all. 



New Rose Range* 



Application has been made at Spring- 

 field for the incorporation of the Chica- 

 go Rose Co., with $15,000 capital stock, 

 the incorporators being John P. Weiland, 

 D. J. Murphy and John Degnan. Mr. 

 Weiland recently sold to his partners his 

 interest in the firm of Weiland & Risch. 

 The new concern has bought fifteen acres 

 of land at Libertyville and has placed 

 an order with the Moninger Co. for cy- 

 press and with the Pittsburg Plate Glass 

 Co. for glass for three 500-foot green- 

 houses, approximately 50,000 square feet 

 of glass, the houses to be put up with 

 all possible speed to be ready for plant- 

 ing in early July. Brides and Brides- 

 maids and some of the new storts will 

 be grown. In the one season Mr. Mur- 

 phy has been growing for this market he 

 has given ample proof of his skill with 

 teas and the new concern is expected to 

 develop rapidly. 



Various Notes. 



A meeting was called for last evening 

 at the store of E. C. Amling for the pur- 

 pose of organizing the Chicago Whole- 

 sale Florists' Association on a perma- 

 nent basis. The association has done so 

 well in handling the wholesalers' inter- 

 ests during the teamsters' strike that it 

 is thought best to perpetuate the organ- 

 ization, [t can^be of material assist- 

 ance in many ways, as, for instance, in 

 disseminating information of those buy- 

 ers who make a practice of refusing C. 

 O. D. 'a "if it happens to be raining 

 when the box arrives." 



The creditors of T. D. Mosconesotes 

 are still taking judgment and levying on
