BEAUTIES 



HEAVY CROP NOW ON 



Our crop of Summer Beauties has been a regular and 

 notable feature of the Chicago Market for the past three 

 years. We are receiving the orders of a great many of the 

 buyers of select stock — but we can take care of others. 

 Especially strong on long-stemmed Beauties. 



ASTERS 



Supplies of good stock are now equal to all demands. All colors. 

 You can count on us for the best grade of Asters from now to 

 frost; the same varieties from the same growers as last year. 



Kaiserins 



VALLEY 



Good crop of fancy Kaiserin, best 

 summer rose. Also heavy cuts 

 of other roses; quality as good 

 as the market affords. 



Choice valley always on hand; 

 you can wire us any day in the 

 year and be sure of getting any 

 reasonable quantity by next train. 



LILIES 



FERNS 



Nice lots of both Longiflorum 

 and Auratum Lilies — make a 

 large showing for the money, as 

 prices are low. 



Fancy ferns of finest quality; we 

 pride ourselves on always having 

 the best ferns and plenty. $1.00 

 per 1000.

CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



The market situation has changed radi- 

 cally since last report, but the result is 

 not so very much different on the whole- 

 salers' cashbooks, although there is some 

 improvement. 



There has not been a season within 

 the memory of the oldest wholesaler 

 when the carnation growers hung on to 

 their stock to so late a date; nor has 

 there been a season when they threyv 

 out their stock with such unanimity and 

 so suddenly. Last week there still were 

 oceans of carnations. This .week there 

 are almost none. They are not much 

 missed, because most of the stock was 

 too poor to be salable. Good carnations 

 are bringing quite fair prices for sum- 

 mer, but the receipts are so small that 

 the sales amount to no noteworthy sum. 

 Asters are rapidly coming in to take the 

 place of the carnations. The excellent 

 growing weather has brought the crop 

 on much earlier than was anticipated 

 and the quality is good. All colors are 

 now to be had, with stems up to two 

 feet long. Prices range from $1 to 

 $2.50 per hundred. 



The rose crops are at a low ebb. There 

 continue to be enough Beauties, but with 



many the quality has deteriorated un- 

 til the stock is slow sale. Buds are in- 

 finitesimal and color badly faded. Brides 

 and Maids are poor. Killarney is the 

 best pink rose, Kaiserin the best white, 

 Richmond the best red. Mrs. Field, at 

 Reinberg's, is good and in demand. 

 Chatenay is not much in evidence and is 

 being discarded by a number of growers. 



This week sees practically the end of 

 the peonies, most of the firms that have 

 stored them having sold out. There still 

 are moderate supplies, but the stock is 

 coming out of storage in good shape and 

 there is no haste to dispose of it. Prices 

 are a little stiffer than last week. 



The glut of sweet peas has subsided to 

 some extent. There still are large sup- 

 plies, but the good stock is selling fairly 

 well. There are too many lilies. Re- 

 ceipts are heavy, of auratum, longiflorum 

 and rubrum, none of which is much 

 wanted. Valley is hal-d to sell. The re- 

 ceipts of miscellaneous flowers are not 

 so heavy as they wore last week and the 

 market supply is probably at the lowest 

 of the season. 



Most of the wholesaler's say business 

 thus far in July has not been up to July 

 of 1906. Receipts have been much heav- 

 ier and prices lower. There seems to be 

 about a certain amount of summer busi- 

 ness, beyond which it is useless to pro- 



vide supplies; it only weakens prices 

 and reduces cash receipts. The whole- 

 salers nearly all subscribe to the state- 

 ment that the waste of flowers this July 

 has been the heaviest ever known in thia 

 market. 



Club Picnic. 



The Florists' Club picked out the hot- 

 test Sunday of the year to date for its= 

 picnic at Morton Grove, July 21, but 

 that did not prevent an attendance- 

 rather ahead of the most sanguine expec-^ 

 tations, the committee reporting an at* 

 tendance of 500. The arrangementai 

 were admirable and everyone agrees that 

 it was the most successful picnic the 

 fraternity in the vicinity of Chicago 

 ever has had. The grove was fine and 

 there was a great variety of amusement. 

 The results of the contests for prizes 

 were as follows: 



Glrla' race, 10 years or under, forty yardi, 

 handicap, one yard for each year, Elsa FTfer, 

 first; Madeline Bruns. second. 



Boys' race, 10 years or under, forty yards, 

 handicap, one yard for each year, E&w. Flabin, 

 first; George Loiitsh, second. 



Girls* race, 16 years or under, forty yards, 

 handicap, one yard for each year, .^Ims' Qiairan, 

 first; Marian Garland, second. 



Boys' race, 16 years or under, fifty yards, 

 handicap, one yard for each year, Fred Schnapps, 

 first; Earl Poehlmann, second. 



Young ladies' race, fifty yards, Annette Dt»- 

 pree. first; Mary Dnpree, second". 



Married ladles' race, fifty yards. Mrs. R. 

 Belcher, first; Mrs. C. A. Klunder, second.'.
