CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



"With last week's two days of cold 

 -weather the market began to boom. Sup- 

 plies were restricted and the demand 

 suddenly accelerated. The result waa a 

 ■sharp advance in price all along the line, 

 but least pronounced in roses. A return 

 to mild temperatures on Sunday, since 

 continued, has had the result of increas- 

 ing production along certain lines, but 

 outdoor stock being now unobtainable 

 -through the wide territory served by the 

 Chicago market, the demand is much 

 stronger than at any time this season. 

 Shipping trade is excellent. There can 

 be no complaint on the score of out-of- 

 "town orders; the only difficulty is to 

 fill them. The city retailers are doing 

 a good business and everyone would be 

 happy were carnations more plentiful. 



Not within the memory of the old- 

 est inhabitant have carnations been so 

 scarce or so high in price at the mid- 

 dle of October. Were they permitted 

 to do so the city buyers would have 

 taken all the carnations last week pro- 

 duced, but in most cases the wholesalers 

 held nearly all their receipts for the 

 out-of-town buyers. Of course they 

 •charged market prices, which brought 

 no end of complaint from those who 

 did not understand the situation. For 

 best white and Enchantress $4 per hun- 

 dred has been the ruling quotation, but 

 of course much stock has sold at $2 

 per hundred and lower. How long the 

 scarcity is to continue is problematical. 

 Growers say there is nothing in sight on 

 the plants. 



Beauties have taken another boom 



this week. There is much stock in the 

 market and nearly all of it is good. 

 Brides and Maids again are in full 

 crop, with a large proportion of the 

 stock grading excellently, but all re- 

 ceipts have been well cleaned out each 

 day. Eed roses are in better demand 

 than in the past fortnight. Chatenay 

 is in and selling well. Killarney brings 

 as high as $10 per hundred. 



Chrysanthemums have been splendid 

 property up to this date. This week has 

 seen a marked increase in the supply 

 and it is likely that the market will be 

 heavily stocked by the end of this week, 

 with prices much lower. It has been a 

 fine market for chrysanthemums thus 

 far. 



New York violets are coming and of 

 good quality for this early date. A few 

 home-grown singles are available. Har- 

 risii lilies continue to advance in price. 

 Valley is selling well. 



There is a large demand for green 

 goods of all kinds and the commission 

 houses are selling quantities of finely 

 colored autumn foliage for use in the 

 decorations for store openings. 



Killarney. 



There are six or seven houses growing 

 Killarney more or less extensively and 

 not all are having equal results, which 

 has provoked considerable discussion of 

 this rose. The Ernst Wienhoeber Co. 

 has a standing order with Weiland & 

 Eisch for daily supplies of Killarney 

 and when Mr. Wienhoeber was asked for 

 an expression of opinion he said: 



' ' The Killarney is a rose in color 

 and habit to my liking, and I find that 

 a good many of my customers ask for 



it, and want it, if they do not see it. 

 Of course it must be well grown, and I 

 feel satisfied that those who grow it 

 well will be successful with it; that is 

 from the side of the dealer. From what 

 I have seen of the growing, it is a very 

 free bloomer; therefore it will be profit- 

 able to the grower. I say this because 

 I feel that the grower ought to have en- 

 couragement if he is worthy of praise." 



;, Qttb Meeting. '■ 



Forty were present at the club meet- 

 ing October 11. It was the night for 

 the annual nomination of officers, to

 president, Leonard Kill; financial sec- 

 retary, H. E. Klunder; recording secre- 

 tary, L. H. Winterson; treasurer, Ed- 

 gar Sanders. The trustees were re-

 tions on the death of James Hartshome,

 pied the rest of the evening.
