CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



The market has been decidedly quiet 

 during the past week. The shipping de- 

 mand, while fairly active as to the num- 

 ber of orders received, does not amount 

 to much because each one's requirements 

 are light. Local trade has counted for 

 very little. 



Supplies of stock have been more than 

 adequate to the requirements, largely be- 

 cause of the deluge of asters. The aster 

 season is now at its height, but a large 

 part of the receipts are of such poor 

 quality that they are almost unusable 

 and are therefore very diflBcult to sell. 

 Probably a majority of the asters re- 

 ceived in the last week have sold at from 

 5 cents to 10 cents a bunch, and thou- 

 sands of bunches have gone into the 

 waste. At the same time strictly fancy 

 asters have had a good market, as there 

 are almost no good carnations, white be- 

 ing in especial demand. The outdoor 

 carnations have suflPered from the same 

 cause which makes the asters poor, 

 namely, too much rain. 



The receipts of Beauties are on the in- 

 crease and there are a number of growers 

 who are now cutting very good stock for 

 August. There are also increasing quan- 

 tities of Brides and Bridesmaids, the 

 young stock showing continued improve- 

 ment in quality. The color of the Maids 

 is good. Short Kaiserin are very plenti- 

 ful. 



There are again large receipts of 

 Easter lilies. Auratums are a glut. So 

 are gladioli. Tuberoses are equal to all 

 demands. Rudbeckia Golden Glow is 

 seen in all the store windows. Dahlias 



are becoming more numerous and "green 

 goods" cheap enough so that the store 

 men are providing a place for the flies 

 to roost to save the plate glass. 



Variotts Notes. 



The indications are that there will be 

 a good-sized party from Chicago for the 

 convention trip. Everyone likes the idea 

 of stopping in Detroit for a few hours 

 and continuing from there in company 

 with Detroit, St. Louis and others. P. 

 J. Hauswirth, chairman of the transpor- 

 tation committee, reports thirty berths 

 already reserved. Six members of the 

 Poehlmann family are going, the three 

 brothers and their wives. The train 

 pulls out at 11 o'clock next Sunday even- 

 ing. 



E. G. Hill was in town one day last 

 week, full of stories of the many things 

 he saw on his recent tour of European 

 trade centers. He was pleased to find the 

 Richmond rose doing so well with all the 

 local growers. 



WeUand & Risch report a call already 

 for young stock of Killarney rose for 

 delivery next year. 



J. A. Valentine, of Denver, was in 

 town Tuesday on his way to Boston. 

 He will, of course, be on hand at the 

 convention, for he is one of the never- 

 failing attendants and frequently is the 

 man who has traveled farthest to be pres- 

 ent. He is accompanied this year by B. S. 

 Gillis, who has charge of the store. 



Wm. Kyle, chief shipping clerk for the 

 Kennicott Bros. Co., is at Colorado 

 Springs, Colo., with his wife and child. 



W. E. Lynch and family have returned 

 from their outing at Fremont, Mich. 



A. L. Randall is busy at his Michigan
