ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. 



J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., 

 president of the Illinois State Florists' 

 Association, writes as follows: 



"Enclosed find a copy of a letter sent 

 out to the florists of the state by a com- 

 mittee of the state association. We are 

 trying to get all florists interested in 

 this work in order to make a good show- 

 ing at the state fair and thereby get 

 a standing before the people, and espe- 

 cially those of influence with our legis- 

 lature, in order to help us to get an 

 appropriation for the interest of flori- 

 culture in the near future. Any public- 

 ity you may give this work through your 

 valuable paper, I am sure will be of 

 great benefit to our trade, and much 

 appreciated by the society. You might 

 also state in your next issue that there 

 will be a meeting of the executive com- 

 mittee of the society held in the Dome 

 building in the fair-grounds on Thurs-* 

 day, October 4, ' at 2 p. m., which all 

 florists are invited to attend. 



"The committee whose names are 

 signed to the enclosed circular will be in 

 attendance during the entire week of the 

 fair, and any stock sent for exhibition 

 will be staged and cared for by them. 

 Parties who wish to send for exhibition 

 only, especially cut flowers, should write 

 the undersigned as to when the stock 

 will arrive and what will be sent, so ar- 

 rangements can be made for vases for 

 same. Any other information you may 

 want I will cheerfully give." 



The circular letter is as follows: 



Members of the Illinois State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation and all florists throughout the state; 

 your interests are at stake. 



It devolyes upon us to make a creditable floral 

 display at the coming state fair. The society 

 bss been called upon to assist in promoting 



florlcultural exhibits. A committee has taken up 

 tlie work with the superintendent of this de- 

 partment at the fair, and we now call on each 

 and every florist throughout this great state to 

 assist in this good work. 



Remember, it is to all oar Interests to ad- 

 vance floriculture, and we know of no better 

 way to Interest the public than by liberal dis- 

 plays. If you hare nothing to enter for com- 

 petition, send for exhibition. Anything to help 

 this movement along. Remember, this will be a 

 starter on the road in the right direction. 



Also be sure and come yourself and spend at 

 least one day. This committee will be pleased 

 to meet you there. J. F. AMMANN, 



Edwardsville. 111.

The Great Central Market. 



The market has had its ups and downs 

 during the last week. The cold weather 

 shut off production and greatly stimu- 

 lated demand, while it lasted, but it was 

 only for a day or two, and this week 

 opened with a return of the unseason- 

 ably high temperatures and more or less 

 congestion in many of the wholesale 

 bouses. 



The item in strongest demand is 

 American Beauty roses, for which or- 

 ders are coming from distant parts of 

 the country. A large part of the crop 

 is with long stems, and short and me- 

 dium lengths are hard to supply. The 

 quality is good throughout. 



The Kaiserin crops are not as heavy 

 as a few weeks ago, but Bride is slowly 

 improving, and sufficient for most needs. 

 Bridesmaid is showing setter color, as 

 well as length of stem, but those grow- 

 ers who are only beginning to cut on the 

 first crop have only small stock to offer. 

 Kichmond is abundant, but not many 

 Liberty are seen. Chatenay is both plen- 



tiful and good. Asters have been coming 

 in a deluge for the last few days, but 

 are near the end. Nearly all the receipts 

 are white, and it is diflScult to fill orders 

 for asters in colors. Some of the stock 

 is still of good quality, but much of it is 

 well sold at 10 cents a bunch. Carna- 

 tions are abundant, and slowly length- 

 ening in stem. Some fine Enchantress 

 are seen. There is complaint as to the 

 shipping quality of carnations, but it 

 could hardly be otherwise. With the hot 

 weather there is none of that crispness 

 necessary where stock is to travel long 

 distances. 



The receipts of chrysanthemums show 

 no increase. They are to be had, but 

 usually only on advance orders. The 

 best Monrovia bring $4 per dozen. 



Easter lilies are abundant. Gladioli 

 are still received in quantity, but are of 

 poor quality and little can be done with 

 the average stock. Orders for fair dis- 

 plays and store openings have, however, 

 made a market for quantities at fair 

 prices. Valley is abundant and selling 

 well. Dahlias are abundant. Sylvia is 

 about the best seller. Most of the out- 

 door flowers have ceased^ to give the 

 wholesalers trouble. 



The demand for green goods is in- 

 creasing, and the approach of autumn 

 openings has brought many inquiries for 

 prices on large orders for delivery in the 

 next two or three weeks.
