Mention The Review when you write. 



Violets have not been abundant, nor 

 have they been in such heavy demand 

 as at some previous Thanksgivings. Val- 

 ley is abundant and has sold well. Har- 

 risii are still scarce but callas are more 

 plentiful. 



The call for green goods has been 

 something phenomenal. Large quantities 

 of common ferns have gone out this 

 week and also galax and leucothoe, while 

 almost every order calls for the finer 

 material, such as asparagus and smilax. 

 Plumosus bunches and Sprengeri were 

 short of the demand. Adiantum is 

 plentiful. 



The death of Marshall Field, Jr., on 

 Monday night, did not affect the market 

 so much as it might, due to the request 

 in the funeral notice that flowers be 

 omitted. Still some were sent and the 

 family order, handled by Samuelson, 

 was a large one. 



The weather on Tuesday, the big ship- 

 ping day for Thanksgiving, was balmy 

 as spring, altogether too warm for stock 

 to carry in the best shape. 



Variottt Notes. 



On November 28 Stollery Bros, opened 

 a new store at 1983 Evanston avenue, 

 near the end of the elevated road. The 

 location is an excellent one, about eight 

 blocks from their old store. The room 

 is 20x80 feet and the prospects are for 

 doing a nice business there. Stollery 

 Bros, are first in with azaleas, having 

 Simon Mardner in good bloom. 



B e n t h e y-Coatsworth Co. recently 

 shipped a box of Beauties to San Fran- 

 cisco. They were delivered six days 

 from shipment. Word has been received 

 that they arrived in fine shape. 



C. W. McKellar had a nice consign- 

 ment of Laelia Arnoldiana this week. 

 This is a variety new to this market and 

 brought $4 per dozen. 



Leonard Kill spent Sunday sizing up 

 the crop prospects at Peter Reinberg's. 

 One of the section foremen assured him 

 that he would cut 2,000 long Beauties 

 for Christmas. As this man has three of 

 the forty houses in Beauties, Mr. Kill 

 concluded that it is time to begin book- 

 ing orders. 



J. B. Deamud is still receiving Beau- 

 ties from F. R. & P. M. Pierson, Scar- 

 boro, N. Y. They arrive in remarkably 

 good shape considering their long jour- 

 ney. 



Wietor Bros, will increase their plant- 

 ing of the Richmond rose next season, 

 finding it about equally popular with 

 Liberty and easier to handle. 



Following the Kansas City flower 

 show, N. A. Benson, Eniil Glauber and 

 J. A. Valentine, of Denver, came on to 

 Jolict for a day and then to Bassett & 

 Washburn's for Saturday afternoon. 

 Sunday evening they started for home. 

 Many noticed a peculiar exhilaration in 

 the atmosphere at that time but were at 

 a loss to account for the phenomenon, 

 for the western gentleman had neglected 

 to send out the usual advance notices. 



Growers at Rogers Park are deeply in- 

 terested in the negotiations now pending 

 between the Rogers Park Water Co. and 

 the city. The Water Co., a concern 

 chartered before Rogers Park was an- 

 nexed to Chicago, is charging the grow- 

 ers 20 cents per thousand gallons. The 

 city charges only half that and pressure 

 has been brought to bear to get the 

 city's mains extended to compete with 



the private company. The latter has 

 now offered to sell out to the city. 



There is a report of another whole- 

 sale establishment soon to enter the 

 market, handling cut flowers and sup- 

 plies. 



John Zech says that Zech & Mann have 

 facilities for a good deal more business 

 and that he proposes to push hard until 

 he needs more facilities. 



Mrs. W. Duckham chrysanthemum ia 

 as disappointing to local growers as was 

 W. Duckham. They don't live up to 

 their eastern reputation. 



The Greeks are again in trouble; the 

 fruit and flower stands have been grad- 

 ually creeping onto the sidewalks all over 

 the down-town district, but the council 

 has by resolution ordered them removed 

 December 1. 



The Chicago Decorative Material Co., 

 189-191 Wabash avenue, is working quite 

 a force in making up green wreathing. 



Walter Retzer is now supplying dec- 

 orations and doing landscape work at 

 Seattle. 



A visitor was H. Bornhoeft, Tipton, 

 Ind., en route to Germany. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market 



The market has taken a turn 

 for the better. There is more busi- 

 ness, both in and out of town. The 

 feature is the shortening up of carna- 

 tions. Prices on the ordinary grades 

 have advanced sharply. Fancies and se- 

 lects are also higher. The unsatisfied 

 demand for carnations has turned to 

 tea roses, the lower grades of Brides
