CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market 



The demand has receded to the usual 

 summer level. There is only a small 

 amount of business, either in shipping 

 or in local trade, but those houses 

 which are fortunate in having cuts of 

 good quality find it easy to sell out, for 

 receipts are at a lower level than at 

 any time this summer and good stock 

 is particularly scarce. 



The out-of-town demand calls for 

 Beauties for special work. Supplies are 

 light and prices well maintained. 

 Kaiserin is bringing good returns, al- 

 though a few good Bride are coming 

 in. Red roses still are abundant. Car- 

 nations are in lighter supply than has 

 been known in the last year. Most of 

 the stock is small and the color is lack- 

 ing in many growers' crops. The prices 

 range from 5 cents per bunch to $2 per 

 hundred, with an occasional sale of 

 fancy stock at higher figures. 



There continues to be large receipts 

 of sweet peas in a wide range of color. 

 With most growers stems are not long 

 and the stock is moved with difficulty. 

 Peonies are approaching the end. They 

 will hardly be available after this week. 

 Longiflorum lilies are seen in quantity 

 in several houses, but are reported to 

 be moving satisfactorily. Auratums are 

 not yet largely in evidence and candi- 

 dum is about finished. Gladioli from 

 outdoors are being received in small 

 quantities. A few asters are seen, also 

 centaurea. Water lilies are abundant. 



There are large receipts of green 

 goods, especially Michigan ferns. 



Outdoor Flowers UsefuL 



The cut flower work of the George 

 Wittbold Co. has an individuality these 

 days. It is because they have available 

 much material not usually seen in the 

 wholesale cut flower markets. They 

 have for some time been cutting great 

 quantities of splendid trusses of Crim- 

 son Rambler, which they have used 

 with excellent effect in table decora- 

 tions, presentation baskets and for 

 many other purposes. Another of their 

 useful items is purple stocks, with 

 which some splendid funeral wreaths 

 have been turned out. The nursery at 

 Edgebrook is supplying a diversity of 

 outdoor material which is not only prof- 

 itably used but which draws attention 

 to their work because of its being dif- 

 ferent from that turned out from stores 

 which depend upon the wholesale mar- 

 kets for supplies. 



At Brant & Noe's. 



Louis M. Noe has returned to Madi- 

 son, N. J., after a week s visit at the 

 establishment of Brant & Noe, Forest 

 Glen. All the roses were planted by 

 July 1 and one could not ask for finer 

 young stock. The old houses are rapid- 

 ly being rebuilt and it is expected to 

 begin benching carnations in them 

 about July 20. J. J. Curran, who years 

 ago had charge of the growing here, 

 has returned, after having spent a num- 

 ber of seasons with Van Bochove & 

 Bro., Kalamazoo, Mich., and the United 

 States Cut Flower Co., Elmira, N. Y. 



Rose Company Plans. 



The Chicago Rose Co. has concluded 

 to drop its line of seeds, bulbs and 



nursery stock and confine the supplies 

 to staples. As a result the south halt 

 of the store is offered for rent, the inr- 

 tention being to put in a partition.. 

 They have a very favorable lease, the- 

 rental for store and basement being; 

 $4,000 per year, as there are almost 

 no empty stores in the downtown dis- 

 trict, they anticipate no diflSculty in 

 getting $2,000 for half the store, leav- 

 ing sufficient salesroom for their own 

 use and the basement for storage. 



State and Randolph. 



The Central Floral Co. has not j-et 

 installed the new fixtures in the store 

 at 68 State. It is a small room and 

 few cases or tables can be admitted^ 

 It is asserted that per square foot of 

 floor, Mr. Schneider is paying the high- 

 est rent ever paid by a Chicago re- 

 tailer. 



A few feet away, around the corner, 

 George Vesas, who formerly was in the 

 basement, has been fitted up with a 

 store almost the equal of the Central's 

 and makes a nice showing from the 

 street. He does business as the Bay 

 State Flower Co. and has a three years' 

 lease. It is said Mr. Schneider -was not 

 deterred from taking the State street 

 store by the knowledge that the other 

 store was provided for. 



Various Note*. 



Mrs. P. J. Hauswirth reached home- 

 Saturday. Mr. Hauswirth will be along 

 about next Sunday. They left San 

 Francisco June 27. spent a day at Santa. 

 Cruz, and at Los Angeles Mr. Haus- 

 wirth was recalled by telegraph to San 

 Francisco to do some further work for 

 the Red Men.
