CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market 



A light demand for stock serves to 

 give the market a deceptive appearance 

 of activity. At no time this summer 

 has really good stock been more scarce. 

 Not only are local buyers canvassing 

 from house to house to find material 

 suited to their needs, but when a whole- 

 saler receives a shipping order he 

 usually finds that he must go in search 

 for satisfactory goods for at least a 

 part of it. Business is fully up to what 

 it was a year ago, but it is nothing to 

 brag about, except in the houses which 

 have special crops of either roses or 

 carnations. These fortunate ones are 

 greatly increasing last year's sales 

 records. 



There are more good Liberty and 

 Richmond than any other rose. Brides 

 and Maids of shipping quality are prac- 

 tically out of the market. Beauties are 

 in light supply and selling well. The 

 cut from young stock is improving every 

 day. 



There is a lively demand for carna- 

 tions of good quality, both white and 

 pink, but the supply of poor stock is 

 overabundant. Asters are coming in 

 heavily and are glutting the market, 

 somewhat to the detriment of the carna- 

 tions. Most of the asters are short 

 in stem, small in flower and following 

 Saturday's heavy rain many flowers 

 were rotted, but improvement is now 

 apparent. 



Auratum lilies continue plentiful and 

 eheapu Longiflorums are rather less 

 abundant than they were. Lancifolium 

 is here, both album and rubrum. 



Gladioli are in large supply and in- 

 clude all shades. Sweet peas are again 

 clogging the market because quality is 

 not acceptable. There are many outdoor 

 flowers which sell cheaply to retailers 

 for use in window decorations. 



Qfib Plant Entertainment. 



There was a meeting of the downtown 

 members of the Florists' Club at the 

 office of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co., 

 July 27, to discuss the possibility of 

 offering a little entertainment to visitors 

 passing through Chicago at the time of 

 the S. A. F. convention. It was the 

 unanimous sentiment that something 

 should be done to make the visitors 

 have a good time. The only point in 

 doubt was as to whether the number in 

 town at any one time would make it pos- 

 sible to provide for their pleasure. As 

 the result of the meeting the club is- 

 sued the following invitation: 



"Convention visitors who may decide 

 to make a further western trip during 

 the week following the Dayton meeting, 

 are cordially invited by the Chicago 

 Florists' Club to advise its secretary, 

 L. H. Winterson, 45 Wabash avenue, 

 when they will be in the city in order 

 that an afternoon or evening visit with 

 the club can be arranged. ' ' 



Chicago to Dayton. 



The Chicago Florists' Club has con- 

 cluded arrangements for the special train 

 over the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago 

 & St. Louis R. R., leaving the Illinois 

 Central passenger station. Twelfth street, 

 Chicago, at 12:45 Monday noon, August 

 20, and due to arrive in Dayton, via 

 Kankakee, Lafayette and Indianapolis, 

 about 8:40 p. m., practically a daylight 



ride all the way. The train will consist 

 of three or more new day coaches, one 

 combination car, one dining car to serve 

 luncheon and dinner a la carte. 



The rate by the certificate plan for the 

 round trip is only $9.70. The tickets are 

 good on all trains August 17 to 23, and 

 for the return trip the validated certifi- 

 cates will be honored up to and including 

 August 31. 



The Chicago Florists' Club cordially 

 invites the florists of the northwest and 

 southwest, delegates to the convention, 

 to join this special train at L'hicago Mon- 

 day noon as above stated, and see that 

 when they buy their tickets and secure 

 their certificates that these tickets read 

 via Big Four route from Chicago to Day- 

 ton. 



Delegates who can join us at any point 

 along our route are requested to do so. 

 The committee will be glad to hear as 

 early as possible from all who decide to 

 join our party, so that the necessary ar- 

 rangements can be made in time. Dele- 

 gates buying tickets in Chicago will se- 

 cure them at the city ticket office of the 

 Big Four, 238 South Clark street, with 

 certificates.

A New Aster. 



George J. Ball has been at work for 

 some years on a special selection of 

 Queen of the Market aster. This season 

 he has quite a stock. It is among the 

 earliest and in spite of the dry weather, 

 which has made most asters short-
