CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market 



The demand has had a relapse, or 

 perhaps it is that the receipts of sum- 

 mer flowers have becon.e so heavy that 

 the needs of the trade make little im- 

 pression upon the daily arrivals. At 

 any rate, the call for roses and car- 

 nations is not so brisk as a week 

 ago. There are enough of each, 

 and some to spare, of satisfactory 

 summer quality. The receipts of 

 roses are beginning to increase be- 

 cause of the cut from young plants. 

 Some outdoor carnations also are com- 

 ing in. 



The glut of asters, gladioli and 

 auratum lilies is something beyond all 

 control. Strictly first-class asters are 

 not abundant and occasionally some are 

 seen which sell as high as $4 per hun- 

 dred. But there are uncounted thou- 

 sands of the low grade stock which are 

 sold in job lots at whatever the buyer 

 is pleased to offer. Murmuring is 

 heard from discontented growers, who 

 feel that this stock is not realizing what 

 it should, but all are in the same boat. 

 With gladioli it is the same, except that 

 few are good enough to command 

 special consideration. Auratum lilies 

 were never more numerous. 



There are a few good sweet peas and 

 quite a number of short-stemmed flow- 

 ers. Dahlias are in. Phloxes, snap- 

 dragon, gaillardia and other items in 

 this class are equal to all requirements. 

 Valley is not especially abundant. 

 There is little call for green goods. 



Wholesalers in general report fair 

 total sales but low average prices. 



The Poehlmann Plant. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. has com- 

 pleteo the new stack at Morton Grove, 

 This is the biggest chimney for miles 

 around, being 115 feet high and con- 

 taining 1,200,000 bricks. At its foot 

 are four water-tube boilers, two of 250 

 horse-power each and two of 200 horse- 

 power each. Circulation of steam is 

 made very rapid by the use of vacuum 

 pumps. 



The importance of the subject of heat- 

 ing, and the care with which it is 

 studied by up-to-date growers, is shown 

 by the fact that John Poehlmann, presi- 

 dent of the company, states that their 

 estimate of the cost of heating for the 

 coming season is between $45,000 and 

 $50,000. The enlarged plant will require 

 retaining close to 125 men on the pay 

 roll, ■ 



Variout Notes. 



F, W. Timme yesterday sailed from 

 Baltimore on the Ehein to spend two 

 months in Germany, Switzerland, France 

 and Scotland, Mr. Timme has not been 

 back to his birthplace since he left it 

 fifty years ago. He says this is the 

 first occasion on which he has had both 

 the money and the leisure at the same 

 time, and he could not let the opportun- 

 ity slip, 



Gus Lange is doing a nice summer 

 business at his new store on Madison 

 street. A vase of Killarney roses out-

 learning new tricks,

 Co., is on a fortnight's vacation in Wis- 

 consin, While Otto Frese was resting

 thinks it worthy of record.

 a satisfactory July business because of
