CHICAGO. 



The Great Cenlral Market. 



The consensus of opinion is that last 

 week was decidedly dull. There was no 

 life to the demand and receipts were ex- 

 ceptionally heavy. The select stock 

 cleaned out fairly well, but the low 

 grades were sacrificed for whatever they 

 would bring. Wholesalers express a fair 

 degree of satisfaction with the money to- 

 tal of sales, but they say that average 

 returns to the growers were decidedly 

 low. 



There is a good demand for Beauties, 



especially from out of town. The city 

 buyers want only the medium length of 

 stems. With many of the houses the qual- 

 ity of the Beauties now is much the best 

 of the summer season and supplies are 

 fairly large. There is steady improve- 

 ment in the quality jaf other roses. Rich- 

 mond continues in large supply. Brides 

 and Bridesmaids are improving every 

 day, in length of stem and in substance, 

 and each day's receipts are a little heav- 

 ier than before. There is now quite a 

 large variety of roses available in this 

 market, including Mrs. Field, Kate Moul- 

 ton, Kaiserin, Carnot, La Detroit, Killar- 

 ney, Uncle John, Sunrise, Chatenay, Mor- 

 ton Grove and one or two others. Only 

 a few Liberties are seen. 



The receipts of asters were the heav- 

 iest of the season in the last week and 

 supplies continue above good market pos- 

 sibilities, though with many growers it 

 can be seen that the crop is approaching 

 an end. With the later varieties the 

 quality is all that could be asked, but it 



is impossible to find a legitimate outlet 

 for all. The accumulation is cleaned up 

 at ridiculous figures, one sale having been 

 noted at the rate of 20 cents a bucketful. 

 Carnations are beginning to be some- 

 tliing of a factor again. Receipts are 

 not yet large, but they are increasing 

 daily and the quality is improving. Some 

 good Enchantress may be had, with stems 

 up to a foot long. Easter lilies are not 

 in large supply, but there still are plenty 

 of auratums. Gladioli continue a glut. 

 A few good spikes sell, but the mixed 

 stock is almost valueless. Valley com- 

 mands ready sale. There is no special 

 call for green goods. 



The telegraph service still is erratic 

 and the delivery slow and unsatisfactory. 

 ^rany houses advise the use of the long 

 distance telephone or special delivery 

 mail as being more satisfactory. 



The Crego Aster. 



For three or four years G. S. Crego,
