CHICAGO. 



The Market 



Business shows another slight improve- 

 ment this week but stock has retrograded 

 in quality because of unseasonably warm 

 ■weather lasting through several days. 

 Eoses were improving rapidly and a 

 •considerable proportion are still of very 

 fair quality, but of course the natural 

 tendency of 86 degrees of heat at this 

 season is to soften the stock perceptibly. 

 The Beauty crop continues nicely ad- 

 justed to the needs of the market. Carna- 

 tions are in large supply but are now 

 practically all from plants under glass. 

 "Stems are short but with most of the 

 growers both stems and flowers are all 

 that one could expect from the first crop. 



Carnations are doing better this week 

 because the asters were put to the bad by 

 the heavy thunder showers of the past 

 few days. Very few good asters have 

 •come into the market this week and all 

 such have had a ready sale. As a large 

 part of the.' demand is still for funeral 

 flowers, white asters and white carna- 

 tions have been most sought by the buy- 

 ers. Dahlias are coming in more heavily 

 but are not wanted in quantity. Most 

 of the retailers use them for window dis- 

 play and occasionally for dinner decora- 

 tions, but there are few such orders as 

 yet and the dahlia is not a flower which 

 this market can use in more than a 

 limited way. 



There continue to be large supplies 

 of valley, but it has a better market 

 than a week ago. Easter lilies are in 

 limited supply and sell well. Violets are 

 now a daily item of stock and have sold 

 well. The quality is nothing extra but 



they are coming unusually early this 

 year, both locally and from the Pough- 

 keepsie district. Chrysanthemums are 

 not yet in daily supply. 



The call for "green goods" is assum- 

 ing a little more strength. The fall 

 decorations, especially for store openings, 

 will call for a great deal of this stock. 

 There is plenty of it. 



On. Tuesday evening the weather 

 turned cool with the usual result of 

 checking production. Now that the 

 good asters are pretty well out of the 

 way, nearly everyone would welcome a 

 frost. 



Qub Meeting. 



The first club meeting of the season 

 brought out an attendance of about a 

 dozen. Vice-president J. P. Risch pre- 

 sided. Accumulated routine matters were 

 disposed of and the S. A. F. convention 

 was discussed. There was lively debate 

 as to how the club might get up a head 

 of steam sufficient to carry it clear 

 through the season. It was the appa- 

 rently unanimous opinion that the first 

 step should be changing the by-laws so 

 as to have only one meeting a month. 

 This cannot be done for another month. 



A vase of the new red rose, Etoile de 

 France, was brought from Western 

 Springs by J. S. Wilson. It was given 

 a certificate of merit, the judges espe- 

 cially commending its color, petalage and 

 fragrance. 



E. G. Hill, of Richmond, was expected 

 but was unable to be here. He wrote 

 that he hoped to meet with the club in 

 about a month. 



Nomination of officers takes place 

 September 28. Leonard Kill is chairman 



of a committee charged with getting up 

 a slate of workers. 



Various Notes. 



There was a brief meeting of the 

 executive committee of the Horticultural 

 Society September 18. It is hoped to 

 have the best show of recent years, pos- 

 sibly at Brooke's Casino November 7 to 

 11. It has been suggested that the show 

 be kept open Sunday as an experiment. 

 This is the practice in Boston. Another 

 committee meeting will be held at F. P. 

 Benthey's office next Monday. President 

 E. G. Uihlein is in Europe. 



Friedman is rearranging and redeco- 

 rating his Van Buren street store. The 

 south side branch has been closed some 

 months but the conservatory there is still 

 in use. 



Miss Nellie C. Moore has returned from 

 a very enjoyable trip on the Mississippi. 



Leonard Kill has had Otto Schwill, 

 Jr., of Memphis, as his guest for a couple 

 of weeks and with him has visited many 

 growers north of town. Mr. Kill says 

 he never saw better average stock than 

 is to be seen this season and expects to 

 see plenty of good stock in the market 

 very soon. Mr. Schwill, who was ac- 

 companied by his wife, returned home 

 September 16. 



The F. E. Butler Floral Co., on Dear- 

 bom street, has rearranged its store, put- 

 ting in a new and larger ice-box. A win- 

 dow of Tritoma Pfitzeri attracted much 

 attention last week. 



Lubliner & Trinz were forced to va- 

 cate their State street store September 1. 

 They had done business there all sum- 

 mer. 



Mrs. H. Hilmers has been in Berlin, 

 Germany, fgr some time with her 7-year.
