CHICAGO. 



Ttie Great Central Market. 



The market was not brisk last week, 

 but it steadily gained toward the close 

 of the period, and Saturday brought 

 good business. Monday opened with a 

 brisk demand, considering that it was a 

 holiday, and one of those in which 

 flowers have little place. There was, of 

 bourse, not much doing in the afternoon, 

 but the opening was considered as pre- 

 saging a good September business. 



The summer flowers are nearing an 

 end. There continue to be large re- 

 ceipts of asters, and the quality of some 

 of the stock is superb, but there is an 

 increasing proportion of short stems and 

 small flowers, which are difficult to move 

 at any quotable prices. Indeed, a con- 

 siderable part of the low grade stuff 

 finds its way to the waste box. Gladioli 

 have lost their superior quality. A little 

 of the stock is of the superb grade noted 

 in the past fortnight, but the great ma- 

 jority show the approach of the end of 

 the season. Dahlias do not seem to have 

 done as well this season as usual, and 

 they do not cut much figure in the 

 wholesale houses, although there are 

 larger supplies than the market requires, 

 for the dahlia is not a popular flower 

 here. We see few of the singles and 

 cactus types, with which the eastern re- 

 tailers do such good work. Tuberoses 

 are abundant. 



The cuts of Beauties are heavier than 

 they were at this season last year, and 

 prices are lower for the long-stemmed 

 stock. The quality is excellent. Bride 

 and Bridesmaid are now practically all 

 from young stock and. stems are not yet 



long, although some early planted stock 

 is giving good cuts. Kaiserin is of qual- 

 ity superior to Bride and sells quickly. 

 There are large receipts of Kichmond 

 and Liberty, but these are not good sum- 

 mer roses and it is diflScult to obtain 

 quoted prices for any considerable ship- 

 ment. Chatenay is abundant. 



There are carnations for all require- 

 ments, some good outdoor stock being 

 received, and many growers are already 

 cutting their first crop from indoors. 

 The latter are still short in stem, but 

 they sufiSce for funeral flowers. 



Green goods are in abundant supply, 

 but there is already an increase in the 

 demand, for milliners and dry goods 

 stores are holding early fall openings. 



Mayweed. 



F. E. Hills has leased the new stdta_4^ 

 on Lake street next to the Maywood 

 State Bank, where he will open a first- 

 class retail store about October 1. Mr. 

 Hills hsis had greenhouses at North 

 Eighth avenue and Tenth street for the 

 last ten years. During the summer he 

 added three new greenhouses, each one 

 25x130 feet, making twelve in all, cover- 

 ing 36,000 square feet. He makes a spe- 

 cialty of roses and carnations and his 

 annual coal consumption is from 500 to 

 600 tons. 



Evanston Doings. 



The ■ marriage of Henry Weiland, of 

 Denver, son of M. Weiland, of Evanston, 

 and Miss Mary ^ugner took place 

 Wednesday, September 5. It was a morn- 

 ing ceremony and attended by a large 

 number of the family, relatives and 

 friends. Peter Weiland was up from 

 New Castle, and Mrs. Olinger, a sister. 



from Cincinnati, the wife of the mana- 

 ger of the selling end of Weiland & 

 Olinger *s business, was present. Henry 

 Weiland is in the fruit growing business 

 in Denver, where he and his bride will 

 go after a brief wedding trip. 



John Weiland is building a new store 

 in Evanston. He found rent so high in 

 good locations that he bought property 

 on Sherman avenue, near the postoffice, 

 and is putting up a substantial build- 

 ing, one store of which will be fitted up 

 in first-class style for his own occu- 

 pancy. 



B. F. Gloede is building a large carna- 

 tion house. He reports some good orders 

 from out of town for landscape work. - 



Flower Market News. 



Schrader & Meyer, of Eiverdale, have 

 .leased space in the market and hereafter 

 will sell their own crop, carnations. 



Anton Felke, of Wilmette, who for- 

 merly had a stand in the market, again 

 will do business there this season. 



E. Francis has resigned his position 

 with Vaughan & Sperry and after Sep- 

 tember 1.5 will sell the product of Schei- 

 den & SchooB at the market. They have 

 about 75,000 feet of glass in carnations. 



The Guardian Angel Orphan Asylum up 

 to September 1 had rented part of the 

 Kruchten space in the market, but now 

 has taken space direct from the manage- 

 ment. At present they are marketing a 

 large crop of asters. In the winter the 

 principal crop is carnations. Miss Martha 

 Guntherberg is the saleslady, and is an 

 exceptionally capable one.
