CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



Business has been distinctly quiet the 

 past week. At the same time receipts 

 have also been on the down grade, so 

 that there has been no great over-stock 

 in any line. Boses are scarce. Beauty 

 crops have come off all of a sudden and 

 receipts are not equal to the daily de- 

 mands. Much of the quality has also 

 been lost, particularly in the shorter 

 etuff.' . 



Brides have been in particular request 

 this week and first-class stock hard to 

 find. The best of each day's receipts 

 have sold quickly at very good prices 

 and the low grade stock is commanding 

 values much better than usual. Maids 

 are more nearly equal to requirements. 

 Some very fine Uncle John are seen. 

 Chatenay is not in large supply but red 

 roses are probably shorter than anything 

 else. 



The carnation market has continued 

 fairly steady. Demand is not heavy, but 

 receipts have shortened up in propor- 

 tion, so that market values have not 

 been greatly disturoed. There is enough 

 good stock to meet requirements but juat 

 at present it is wise to put in orders 

 early in the day wherever possible. 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. has some very fine 

 Prosperity, readily bringing $6 per hun- 

 dred. Very few of thia variety are seen 

 this year. Enchantress and Lawson are 

 the two principal sorts. 



Violets have been coming in rather 

 heavily and, with light demand, prices 

 have weakened. A deluge is feared for 

 February 14. 



The one department in which supplies 



are rapidly increasing and prices stead- 

 ily tending doNvnward is that of bulbous 

 stock. Harrisii and callas, which have 

 been in exceedingly brisk demand and 

 high in price for some weeks past, are 

 now too plentiful for the requirements 

 and prices have fallen fully one-third 

 in the last couple of weeks. Freesia is 

 a drug on the market. Paper Whites 

 and Bomans sell fairly well for funeral 

 work but seldom go above $3 per hun- 

 dred and many are sold much below that. 

 Fancy tulips still bring a fair price, but 

 short stuff, especially if white, is Sold 

 very cheaply. Valley is abundant, some 

 of it without foliage, bringing very 

 small returns. There is no change in 

 the green goods market. 



Various Notes. 



There will be a special meeting of the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association at 

 Handel hall tonight at 7:30. The call 

 is issued by Chairman James Hartshorne. 



With the announcement that a strike 

 of coal miners is in prospect, growers 

 who needed fuel this week found the 

 price advanced 25 cents to 50 cents per 

 ton. 



Vaughan & Sperry are handling some 

 very nice Golden Spur narcissus. 



On Monday morning the Chicago Bose 

 Co. opened for business at 56 and 58 

 Wabash avenue. They have a large dou- 

 ble store on the street floor which will 

 supply accommodations at least the equal 

 of those of any wholesale house in town. 

 They are busy getting the store fitted up 

 and getting their stock. George Scott, 

 formerly at Winterson's, is assisting Mr. 

 Degnan. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. closes its 

 business year with the last day of Janu- 



ary. E. F. Winterson reports that he is 

 more than pleased with the total of 

 business for the year. The teamsters' 

 strike cut a big hole in their record for 

 the spring months and it was with much 

 satisfaction that the aggregate for the 

 twelve months was found to slightly ex- 

 ceed that of the year before. 



C. S. Stewart has sold his retail store 

 on the west side to parties by the name 

 of Simpson, not hitherto connected with 

 the trade. 



C. W. McKellar received a shipment 

 of cattleyas from Lager & Hurrell on 

 Monday so badly frosted that they were 

 valueless. He also had a shipment of 

 orange blossoms on that day. 



John B. Bisch, of Weiland & Biach, 

 gives it as his opinion that when plant- 

 ing time is nearer the demand for Kil- 

 larney rose plants will be even stronger 

 than at present. Peter Beinberg is one 

 of those who will plant Killamey heavily 

 for next season. 



Klehm 's Nursery is sending the Nov- 

 elty tulip to Kennicott Bros. Co. in very 

 nice shape. 



George Beinberg is still getting a very 

 large cut of Beauties, but his stock, in 

 common with that of other growers, has 

 lost something of its high quality be- 

 cause of the very unfavorable weather 

 conditions of the past few weeks. 



E. C. Amling is again receiving bou- 

 vardia. 



The A. L. Bandall Co. finds itself al- 

 ready overcrowded in the supply de- 

 partment and will erect a balcony in the 

 rear of the cut flower room, which will 

 give the supplies something like 1,000 

 feet of additional space. 



The George Wittbold Co, has a stable 

 of twenty-five horses kept constantly busy
