CHICAGO. 



The Market 



The fall opening decorations were the 

 most potent factor in the market at the 

 beginning of this week, although trade is 

 im^^" roving with the retail florists. The 

 unusually warm weather lias had the ef- 

 fect of retarding the revival of business, 

 but things are gradually getting under 

 way again. Receipts are not increasing 

 as rapidly as was expected smd buyers* 

 sometimes find difliculty in securing stock 

 for special requirements. 



The Beauty market continues well 

 cleaned up but large crops are said to be 

 in iinraediate prospect. However, it is 

 not yet always possible to supply the 

 grade of Beauties wanted and prices hold 

 up well. Brides and Bridesmaids grade 

 very well for the season. The best stock 

 cleans up quickly and requirements 

 should be made known early. Chatenay 

 is abundant and popular. Liberty is not 

 very good auvi Richmond is much to be 

 preferred. 



There are large supplies of carnations, 

 8ome of which are of excellent quality, 

 particularly Enchantress. Stems on many 

 varieties are now fair, but this cannot 

 yet be said of Lawson. Chrysanthemums 

 are not yet in sufficient supply to make 

 them a factor in Ihe market. There are 

 many more orders than there are mums. 

 A very few days, however, will see re- 

 ceipts largely increased. Violets, which 

 have been a staple item of stock for more 

 than two weeks, are showing some im- 

 provement, although the New York prod- 

 uct frequently shows evidence of over- 

 heating on its journey. Asters are gone 



and gladioli nearly finished. Dahlias 

 are now the principal outdoor product. 

 Some exceedingly fine ones are seen and 

 have been used in big store decorations, 

 also for window display. 



Valley holds its steady course. Harrisii 

 continues to stiffen in price, receipts be- 

 ing light. Green stock has been in de- 

 mand for decorations. The supply is 

 large. 



Coliseum for Flower Show. 

 There was a meeting of interested par- 

 ties at the office of the Benthey-Coats- 

 worth Co., on Tuesday afternoon, at 

 which it was decided to accept a propo- 

 sition made by the management of the 

 Coliseum, and the flower show will be j 

 held there November 7 to 11. The ar- j 

 rangement is regarded as a most favor- 

 able one and the best show Chicago has ! 

 ever had seems now assured. The hall is 

 the largest in the west and many times 

 larger than any ever used before for the 

 local show. It will give unlimited space, ! 

 with ample seating capacity for the visi- 

 tors. With a week of good weather 

 there is no reason why the show should 

 not be the greatest financial success on 

 record. George Asmus is to be manager 

 again and will repeat his good work of 

 last year. 



Fall Openings. 



Decorations at department stores have 

 served to keep some of the retailers em- 

 ployed this week. Much stock has been 

 used and Saturday and Sunday saw con- 

 siderable skirmishing for supplies. 

 Fleischman had the decoration at Man- 

 del 's and is said to have received $1,500 

 for the showing made on Monday morn- 

 ing. Wittbold had the decoration at 



Field 's, at the Colonial' theater and at 

 Stevens & Bros. Field's buy most of 

 their cut flowers in the open market and 

 are able to get trade prices, as they buy 

 every business day in the year. Fried- 

 man continued the Carson-Pirie decora- 

 tion first put up last week. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club had a well attend- 

 ed meeting September 28. The nomina- 

 tion of officers was the principal order 

 of business. After a number had de- 

 clined to accept office, a committee pro- 

 posed the following slate: President, P. 

 ,T. Hauswirth; vice-president, Leonard 

 Kill; secretary, Louis Winterson; finan- 

 cial secretary, George Asmus; treasurer, 

 Edgar Sanders; trustees, F. F. Benthey, 

 J. P. Risch, H. N. Burns, Jos. F. Klim- 

 mer and W. L. Palinsky. There was a 

 general discussion on the good of the 

 club, including the change to one meet- 

 ing night a month, which will be up for 

 final adoption October 12. It was sug- 

 gested that meeting in the afternoon, 

 as is the custom at St. Louis, would serve 

 to bring in a number who do not now 

 attend. Music and refreshments served 

 to add to the interest of the occasion. 



Various Notes. 



E. Wienhoeber says that September 

 business was a little better than a year 

 ago, even with unfavorable weather con- 

 ditions. He looks for good business in 

 another ten days. Mr. Wienhoeber leavea 

 the latter part of this week for a few 

 days' trip east. 



E. C. Amling is pleased with the rec- 

 ord he made on asparagus on Sunday. In
