CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market 



The weather has been the sole topic of 

 conversation in the last week. For three 

 days following last report it rained al- 

 most continuously. The only time the 

 sun came out it put the plants in a Turk- 

 ish bath. The temperature was around 

 60 degrees Saturday afternoon and since 

 January 1 we have had 220 degrees of 

 excess heat. Saturday night winter came 

 and the temperature fell to within 8 de- 

 grees of zero in less than twelve hours. 

 At the same time the wind attained a 

 velocity of fifty-five miles an hour. 



The long spell of dark weather caused 

 the plants to stand practically still. The 

 result was particularly manifest in the 

 rose market, good roses becoming quite 

 scarce and advancing in price. The call 

 for funeral work made an active demand 

 for shorts and everything in the rose 

 line moved off quickly. White roses were 

 diflBcult to procure all last week and there 

 is no change this week. The sudden cold 

 did not do much toward retarding the 

 cut, for the crop was about the lowest 

 ebb anyway, but it gave the growers a 

 chance to test the heating apparatus. A 

 55-mile breeze at 8 degrees above zero, 

 with houses none too well glazed, is no 

 joke. 



Conditions are not good for large pro- 

 duction, especially in the rose line, for 

 some time to come. The plants are too 

 soft to respond quickly to better grow- 

 ing conditions; indeed, strong sun would 

 be likely to do much damage in the 

 weakened condition of the stock. 



Carnations are in a little better shape 

 and are producing more freely than 



roses. There is an excellent call for 

 white, so that it is not always possible 

 to supply these. Enchantress is more 

 abundant than any other and sells well. 

 Lawson is not the color mostly wanted 

 and is the last to go. 



Considerable quantities of tulips now 

 are available. There are plenty of white 

 and a few red and yellow are seen. 

 Paper Whites are abundant. Callas are 

 in larger supply and occasionally con- 

 siderable quantities of Harrisii are seen. 

 Freesia has been in for two or three 

 weeks, but is not yet abundant enough 

 so that it cuts much figure. Jonquils 

 clean up quickly, but there is enough 

 valley. 



The receipts of violets are less than 

 usual at this season, but there are 

 enough to meet all needs. Poinsettias 

 still are seen in some quantity but are 

 poor and do not sell. 



There is an excellent demand for 

 bunched greens. Ferns are causing 

 much trouble. 



Benthey^s to Move. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. has closed 

 a lease for new quarters on the- second 

 floor of the Atlas block, the large corner 

 room, No. 202, a space the agents have 

 not heretofore been willing to rent for 

 florists' purposes. The room is ample in 

 size, glass on the two street sides and 

 on the same floor with six other whole- 

 sale florists. It is a fine location and, 

 the last tenant having vacated, will be 

 occupied at once. 



As soon as the Benthey-Coatsworth Co. 

 leaves its old quarters the partition will 

 be removed, adding the space to that of 

 the Poehlmann Bros. Co. The Poehl- 

 mann Co. is badly in need of more room 



and will rearrange the store to take full' 

 advantage of the doubled space. It is 

 expected to have all the changes made in 

 time to be ready for the Easter rush and 

 the heavy spring cuts. 



The Toronto Party. 



The Chicago party to the Toronto con- 

 vention pulled out twenty minutes late 

 on a cold afternoon Tuesday. Those in 

 the special car were C. L. Washburn, 

 P. J. Hauswirth, Mrs. Hauswirth, George 

 Asmus, August Poehlmann, Adolph 

 Poehlmann and J. S. Wilson, Chicago; 

 A. S. Halsted, Belleville, 111.; N. Zwei- 

 fel and J. E. Pollworth, Milwaukee; 

 A. T. Pyfer, Peter Olsem and A. F. Lon- 

 gren, Joliet. Leonard Kill and Mrs, Kill 

 had gone in advance, Sunday evening. 



At Detroit the party was joined by 

 the Cincinnati and Detroit delegations, 

 making a full carload. 



Troiibles at Park Ridge. 



It is reported several of the Park 

 Ridge growers, who are all in a bunch, 

 were in trouble Saturday and Sunday as 

 a result of the heavy rain. Water got 

 into the boiler-pits and put out the fires. 

 It is said August Priebs was bady 

 frozen. Wm. Passvogle had a narrow 

 escape and Wm. Nieman, at Norwood 

 Park, had a close call. Others had to 

 pump to save themselves serious loss. 



Virginian Narcissi. 

 Stollery Bros, have been cutting Nar- 

 cissus princeps (Ajax) for a fortnight 

 and arc now marketing a nice lot, from 

 bulbs grown in Virginia, by the Ameri- 

 can Bulb Co., from whom they took 

 25,000 narcissus bulbs last summer. 

 They have done well and are small bulbs*
