Mention The Review when you write. 



Ehmann is a man who will succeed where 

 others fail. First he is an all-round 

 gardener, endowed with a happy dispo- 

 sition and full of energy, industry and 

 thrift. He could not tell you the name 

 of the favorite in the Brooklyn futurity 

 but he can make every foot of bench 

 room yield a good profit. Very few can 

 do both. 



Henry Wise, of East Aurora, will 

 spend his vacation among the Musk oka 

 lakes. He has heard of a small lake 

 where the trout will average fifty pounds 

 to the cubic foot of water and the mos- 

 quitoes will go two quarts to the same 

 amount of atmosphere. 



A trip to the seashore or lake or moun- 

 tain is grand, but let us hope that these 

 natural and enjoyable trips will hinder 

 only a few from attending our great 

 Washington convention. Our duty is to 

 attend the convention of the society that 

 has done so much for our profession and 

 can and will do much more. Be present 

 and raise your voice or listen to those 

 who have the gall. W. S. 



CHICAGO. 



The Market 



There has been little change in demand 

 during the past week. Shipping orders 

 continue fairly numerous, but the require- 

 ments are small. The city retailers are 

 doing nothing beyond funeral work, 

 helped out by a decoration for an occa- 

 sional belated wedding. 



Really good stock in either roses or 

 carnations is not abundant, but there is 

 a sufficient quantity of that which grades 

 just under the top notch to supply a de- 



mand considerably in excess of that which 

 is in evidence. Prices are at the sum- 

 mer level all along the line. During the 

 week the Beauty cut has diminished con- 

 siderably and there is a call more nearly 

 equal to the supply than has been the case 

 in this department for several weeks. 

 Many teas are mildewed. Receipts of 

 carnations have diminished rapidly, be- 

 cause replanting is beginning. 



The first asters are due this week, but 

 the continuous rains of the last few days 

 have done much to injure the quality of 

 the first blooms. Sweet peas continue far 

 in excess of the demand and so do Shasta 

 daisies, which have become the principal 

 feature of most of the window decora- 

 tions because of their cheapness. Peonies 

 are gone. A few candidum lilies are still 

 seen, but there will soon be plenty of 

 auratums to take their place. There are 

 large quantities of outdoor flowers, which 

 are slow sale in the wholesale market, 

 although the quality is generally very 

 good. Centaurea is among the week's 

 novelties. Water lilies are very abundant. 

 Only a few gladioli are arriving, but 

 there is no active demand for them. 

 There is no limit to the supply of 

 "green goods." 



Visitors. 



There have been a large number of vis- 

 itors in town in the past week. Among 

 those who are still here is H. E. Philpott, 

 of Winnipeg. He recently sold his green- 

 houses and real estate to a hotel syndicate 

 and is on "easy street." He plans a 

 trip to Japan next year. 



E. G. Gillett was up from Cincinnati 

 last Friday to talk with the Chicago Flor- 

 ists ' Club transportation committee about 



the trip to Washington. Mr. Gillett wants 

 the Chicago party to travel by way of 

 Cincinnati and join the Cincinnati dele- 

 gation over the Baltimore & Ohio to 

 Washington. The route of the Chicago 

 party has not yet been determined. Other 

 Cincinnatians who were in town were 

 Max Rudolph and Mr. Meiers. 



Wm. Edlefsen was down from Mil- 

 waukee and among other things ordered 

 the Louis Wittbold automatic watering 

 device to install in four of his green- 

 houses. 



Wm. Graff was here from Columbus 

 and insisted that some of his old friends 

 should join him in celebrating the ar- 

 rival of a sou and heir a few days ago. 



F. J, Foster was up from St. Louis, ac- 

 companied by his family, who were en 

 route to Ottawa Beach. ^Ir. Foster 

 called on many in the trade, but said 

 that he would rather talk horse than 

 business. He has four pedigreed equines 

 in his stable and thinks of bringing one 

 of them to our next horse show. 



Thos. H. Zook, of Albia, la., was also 

 dcing the town. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Weber is sending E. C. Amling 

 a splendid cut of Beauties. It is remark- 

 able stock for mid-summer. Stems are 

 long, very heavy and well clothed with 

 fine dark green foliage. The buds are 

 almost if not quite as large as the aver- 

 age mid -winter stock and the color is fine. 

 Mr. Amling reports a very satisfactory 

 market for a large cut. 



As an evidence of appreciation of the 

 way his teams handled the pick-ups dur- 

 ing the strike the wholesalers have pre- 

 sented a handsome ring to George Hein-
