Mpntl'in The Review when .von write. 



CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



The demand shows some improvement, 

 and the sentiment in the market is that 

 September will be a good month. The 

 out-of-town buyers are being heard from 

 regularly, with a promise of an early 

 active demand, especially if the month is 

 a cool one. City business is not yet 

 large. 



The supply of-roses is above the nor- 

 mal at this season. Indeed, the first of 

 the week saw an unwieldy supply of all 

 varieties of roses except Beauty, follow- 

 ing one or two abnormally warm days. 

 Monday night saw the market with a 

 «on8iderable proportion of the day's rose 

 receipts still in wholesalers' ice-boxes, 

 and Tuesday did not suflBce to clear them 

 out. The quality of roses generally is 

 excellent. Beauties are not enough for 

 the demand, but Richmond is in espe- 

 cially large supply. 



There are no considerable receipts of 

 carnations, but the market is easing a 

 little in this department. Asters have 

 been in the heaviest supply of the season 

 for the last week, and even the best stock 

 has been going to waste. One whole- 

 saler avers that the waste of asters in the 

 last week of August was greater than 

 the waste during the glut of the early 

 varieties. Some splendid stock is seen. 



There are enormous receipts of gladi- 

 oli, and it is impossible to clear them all 

 out at anything like fair prices, for the 

 quality is poor. Hydrangeas and other 

 <iutdoor flowers also are abundant and 

 slow sale. There was a flurry in lilies 

 the first of this week. It seems that 

 jiractically all the houses which have been 



making a specialty of summer lilies are 

 out of stock at the same time and a small 

 demand serves to make everyone hustle 

 to find the necessary stock. Valley is 

 selling well. A few auratums still are 

 seen. 



All sorts of green goods are equal to 

 requirements. 



Most of the houses closed shortly after 

 noon on Labor day, but others found it 

 would take them all the afternoon to get 

 their orders out. In future it is doubt- 

 ful if any of the houses close on Labor 

 day. The day was not at all generally 

 observed in Chicago this year. 



Hereafter the wholesale houses will be 

 open until 6 p. m. daily, except Sunday. 



The August Business. 



It is the usual report that the August 

 business was ahead of last year. This 

 market each summer makes increased ef- 

 fort to provide for the hot weather de- 

 mand for flowers. Practically every house 

 was better equipped this summer than 

 last, and the result has been an increase 

 in sales. There always is more or less 

 call for good stock in the summer, espe- 

 cially for well-grown roses. A fewf houses 

 report a decrease in the summer business, 

 but these are the ones which failed to 

 make any special effort to provide stock 

 for it. 



Weather in Aujfust. 



"Weather conditions in Chicago made a 

 fair showing for August, the tempera- 

 ture averaging normal for the month of 

 August for the last thirty-six years in 

 which the government weather station 

 has existed here. The mean temperature 

 was 71 degrees. The highest was 92, 

 August 11, and the lowest 52, August 22 



and 25.- The sun shone 278 out of a 

 possible 415 hours. The total rainfall 

 was 4.22 inches, or 1.43 inches above nor- 

 mal. 



Various Notes. 



C. L. Washburn returned Saturday 

 from a fortnight's fishing near Athel- 

 stane. Wis. He found Bassett & Wash- 

 burn cutting the largest sumnaer rose 

 crop of their history. 



Fred H. Lemon, Richmond, Ind., presi- 

 dent of the American Carnation Society, 

 was a visitor this week. 



C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, says 

 that the largest order of supplies which 

 ever went out of this market was that 

 shipped to Charles Hammer, who is start- 

 ing in business at Memphis as the East 

 End Floral Co. The first shipment made 

 two large wagon-loads. Mr. Dickinson 

 says they are receiving many compli- 

 ments on their new catalogue. 



One of the week's visitors was Dan 

 MacRorie, representing W. A. Manda, 

 South Orange, N. J. 



J. B. Deamud is visiting his father at 

 Cairo, Mich. Will Kyle says they have 

 every reason to be pleased with the way 

 business has held up through the summer. 



Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., has returned from a fortnight's trip 

 as, far west as Ogden and Salt Lake, 



Weiland & Risch are cutting 1,800 to 

 2.000 carnations a day from the early 

 planted stock, and say the demand is so 

 Rood they can not ofteri accommodate 

 those who do not place orders in advance. 



The first meeting of the season of the 

 Chicago Florists' Club will be held in 

 Handel hall at 8 p. m. on the evening of 

 September 12. M
