CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



There is no great stir in the market, 

 but nevertheless trade is as good as 

 could be expected at this date. July, 

 1905, was unanimously reported to have 

 been the best on record, but the indica- 

 tions are that this month will be as good 

 in the majority of houses, and with some 

 that are fortunate in having special 

 crops of summer stock it will prove 

 an even better July than that of a year 

 ago. Shipping demand is active, al- 

 though the orders are not large. This 

 week started with a brisk city trade so 

 far as number of buyers went, but, of 

 course, requirements were limited. One 

 house reported ninety-eight tickets made 

 on Monday at 3 o'clock in the after- 

 noon. " 



The increase in demand in the last 

 few days is doubtless largely due to 

 the fact that crops are at about the 

 lowest level. "With a majority of out- 

 -side growers no roses are being cut and 

 the carnation houses have been cleared. 

 There are still plenty of roses in our 

 market, but carnations have shortened 

 materially and good carnations are ex- 

 cellent property this week. There con- 

 tinue to be good supplies of red roses 

 and several growers are cutting quite a 

 few Brides and Maids from old plants. 

 Young stock is beginning to make its 

 appearance, especially of Beauties, but, 

 of course, the latter are short. A few 

 outdoor carnations are seen, but they 

 do not have the quality to make them 

 salable. Good indoor stock readily 

 broujfht $1.50 to $2 per hundred the first 

 of this week. 



Asters are now available in quantity. 

 The quality generally is no more than 

 medium. Bright weather has made short 

 stems and the centers are open. The 

 glut of sweet peas is passed and what 

 remain are of only indifferent quality. 

 Auratum lilies are exceedingly abundant 

 and sell very low. Longiflorum does 

 better. Gladioli are increasing in quan- 

 tity each day. Quality varies widely and 

 so do the prices. Tuberoses are arriving. 

 Many outdoor flowers are seen, but are 

 not especially attractive to the retailers, 

 for the weather has not been favorable 

 and quality is low. 



The Latest Peonies. 



Monday afternoon, July 23, Kruchten 

 & Johnson still had seventy-three dozens 

 of peonies in the ice-box. The variety 

 was Late Eose and these were absolutely 

 the last of the season. They had been 

 in cold storage for something over four 

 weeks, and had been in the firm's ice- 

 box for nearly a week longer, coming out 

 in remarkably good shape. It is believed 

 that this is the latest date to which 

 peonies ever have been kept in cold 

 storage. 



Azores Lilies. 



Bassett & Washburn are marketing 

 quite a cut of lilies from the Azores 

 bulbs spoken of in last week's issue. 

 These longiflonims had been in cold 

 storage for eleven months, and were so 

 anxious . to bloom that the flowers were 

 ready before much stem had been made. 

 The bloom is of much heavier texture 

 than are those from either Bermuda or 

 Japan bulbs and will stand considerable 

 handling without bruising. Bassett & 



Washburn are well pleased with their 

 experience with the Azores lilies. 



Cold Storage Candidum. 



The A. L. Randall Co, is this week 

 closing out the last of its candidum lilies. 

 These were placed in cold storage June 

 23. They did not keep nearly so well as 

 last year because a large proportion of 

 the flowers were spotted when placed in 

 cold storage, and the spot developed a 

 brown rot which spoiled the flowers. The 

 price realized has not been so good as a 

 year ago, but much better than could 

 have been done if the stock had all been 

 placed on the market when it was cut. 



Various Notes. 



Philip Foley, president of the Foley 

 Mfg. Co., is away on a tour of in- 

 spection of his western lumber and min- 

 ing interests. 



Fred Strail closed his store at 164 

 Adams street by invitation of one of his 

 creditors. His present address is stated 

 to be room 213, 175 Dearborn street, 

 where he is engaged in another line of 

 business. 



The plans for the improvement of the 

 west parks include the expenditure of 

 $275,000 for conservatories and green- 

 house at Garfield park, and the ex- 

 penditure of $31,000 for a flower garden 

 at Humboldt park, Jena Jensen, as gen 

 eral superintendent of the west parks, 

 is making pronounced improvements. 



L, Baumann & Co. are preparing to 

 make a large display at the Dayton con- 

 vention. Mr, Baumann found a number 

 of excellent novelties while on his Eu- 

 ropean trip. 



E. F. Winterson is at West Baden
