CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



The outlet for stock has broadened 

 since last report. The lessened social ac- 

 tivity, due to the advent of Lent, has 

 pretty well worn away, so that the legit- 

 imate demand is about equal to the sup- 

 ply of first-class stock in roses. The 

 knowledge that spring sales are now in 

 order has become general in stores where 

 this market is not drawn upon except for 

 special large lots, with the result that 

 last week the call for carnations in thou- 

 sand lots was so good that the price 

 was advanced on Friday, when most of 

 the big shipments went out. Friday night 

 one house reported sending out 20,000 

 carnations on these special orders — but 

 it did not serve to clean them out. 



Beauties continue in short supply. 

 There are not enough of the long and 

 medium grades to fill orders. Short 

 stock is more abundant and less in re- 



quest. Quality is variable, but both cut 

 and quality are due shortly to improve 

 materially. Bride is in considerably bet- 

 ter demand than Bridesmaid. In fact, 

 all white stock is selling well because of 

 a large amount of funeral work. The 

 same factor causes short roses to realize 

 pretty fair prices. None of the growers 

 has any complaint to make at the state 

 of the rose market. Chatenay is seen 

 in fine form and there are large receipts 

 of Bichmond of superb quality. Kil- 

 larney is giving a good crop for several 

 growers and maintains its popularity. 



The carnation market this week is 

 slightly better than last, but there con- 

 tinue to be heavier receipts than the 

 legitimate demand can consume. 



A little bad weather last week put 

 the violet market in a worse state than 

 at any time thus far this season. The 

 stopping of business produced an accu- 

 mulation from which the market has not 

 rallied. Prices went down to where many 

 shipments realized no more than express 



charges and there was considerable loss. 

 For the very best stock in the small lots 

 50 cents per hundred was top. 



Callas continue abundant. There are 

 increased receipts of Easter lilies. The 

 quality is nothing to brag of with most 

 of the growers. Tulips continue in large 

 supply, but not so many daffodils and 

 jonquils are seen. There is still enough 

 valley, but not quite such heavy receipts 

 as in the last fortnight. Sweet peas are 

 much more abundant, of fine quality and 

 selling well. 



The wholesalers are speculating on the 

 outcome in the fern department. Stock 

 is spoiling rapidly and that received 

 from the east indicates a similar condi- 

 tion there. It is predicted that $4 to $5 

 per thousand will be the price before 

 new ferns are in. Smilax frequently is 

 difficult to procure. Orders should be 

 booked a day in advance if possible. 

 Adiantum also is shortening up. Strings 

 of asparagus are in fair supply but 

 bunches are small.
