CHIGAGO. 



The Great Central Market 



Ever since the first part of last week 

 the market suffered because supplies were 

 ahead of legitimate requirements in near- 

 ly all lines. The change from a long 

 period of scarcity to one of abundant 

 supply was so sudden that the large buy- 

 ers of cheap lots did not have time to 

 get their machinery in operation and it 

 was not so easy to dispose of the accu- 

 mulation as it will be as soon as the 

 cheap sales stores through the country 

 become awake to the fact that their busy 

 season is at hand. This week finds a 

 slightly improved demand, but city trade 

 is still quiet and there are more than 

 abundant supplies in all lines, with the 

 possible exceptions of American Beauty 

 and Bride roses. 



The greatest diflSculty has been expe- 

 rienced with violets. The spring crop 

 is on and the receipts, both of locally 

 grown singles and Khinebeck doubles, are 

 far the greatest of the year. The re- 

 sult has been that there have been no 

 stable values. The select stock has been 

 picked out at fair figures and the bal- 

 ance has been sold for whatever price it 

 would bring, which was little indeed. The 

 sidewalk salesmen have been able to use 



violets at 20 cents to 25 cents per hun- 

 dred on pleasant days. When the tem- 

 perature was below freezing they have 

 had no use for them at any price. 



Valley is a glut and daffodils, jonquils 

 and tulips have been a decided over- 

 supply, 80 that growers' averages are 

 causes for complaint. Callas, which were 

 scarce for months and selling at $2 per 

 dozen, last week became so plentiful that, 

 although many were sold, some were left 

 to go to the waste barrel. Easter lilies 

 are quite plentiful if one does not con- 

 sider quality. Good ones are scarce, the 

 bulk of the stock being short in stem 

 and small and thin in flower. 



The call for carnations has been drop- 

 ping off wherever buyers have glass of 

 their own. Eeceipts are probably four 

 times as great as they were three weeks 

 ago. There is some poor stock, but most 

 of the receipts are fine. The legitimate 

 demand leaves a large proportion of each 

 day's cut to find its way out through the 

 buyers of thousand lots, which means low 

 averages. The price of carnations has 

 been much ahead of last year all through 

 this season up to the last week. Now it 

 is below the same period for last year. 



Eoses are faring rather better than 

 other items, for the crops are not so 

 heavy. Quality is excellent and fair 

 business is being done with roses. Brides 



are not equal to the demand and Beau- 

 ties are not yet in large receipt, but cuts 

 are coming on and there is report that 

 supplies will be hea\7' at Easter. Chat- 

 enay is in good crop with several grow- 

 ers and Kichmond is producing well. 



The fern situation causes uneasiness. 

 Green goods are not in special demand, 

 but receipts are not heavy and it is not 

 always possible to pick up stock wanted 

 on late orders. The price of adiantum is 

 advancing. 



Gutialion Green. 



St. Patrick's day is March 17. It 

 brings a demand for green carnations 

 and all sorts of dyes are offered. Mrs. 

 Frank Beu, in the Flower Growers' Mar- 

 ket, is thought to have been the origi- 

 nator of green carnations, having exhib- 

 ited them at the flower show in 1902. 

 Mr. Beu brought knowledge of the for- 

 mula from Germany years ago. Mrs. Beu 

 says she sold over $100 worth of the dye 

 at the Flower Growers' Market last year. 



Lily Prospects. 



The principal theme of discussion is 

 the prospect for lilies being ready for 

 Easter. In spite of the fact that several 

 of the large growers say they will be on 

 time, there is a general sentiment that 

 supplies will be less than usual and prices
