CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



Last week we were almost too excited 

 about what the Cubs were doing to the 

 Tigers to pay much attention to business, 

 but nevertheless the demand was fairly 

 active and Friday and Saturday were 

 big days, with the market well cleaned 

 up by the local buying Sunday morning. 



This week opened with a market which 

 was almost a duplicate of the Monday 

 market for the last three weeks. The 

 receipts were decidedly light and de- 

 mand, which was active, was made to ap- 

 pear exceedingly heavy by the running 

 about which it was necessary to do to 

 find the stock to fit the orders. The 

 fact that Tuesday found the market 

 much easier indicates that it was not 

 Bo much a shortage in production as it 

 w^as a disinclination on the part of the 

 growers to cut on Sunday, For three 

 weeks we have had a remarkablv stiff 



market each Monday, with increasing 

 supplies as the week progressed and no 

 shortage whatever. The increased de- 

 mand on Monday has largely come from 

 the fact that the retailers have had good 

 Sunday business, and have sold out what- 

 ever was left from Saturday. Still Fri- 

 day and Saturday are the largest days 

 in the week. 



The crops of Beauty are lighter than 

 they were and several growers concur in 

 the report that all rose crops are on the 

 downward grade. There were, however, 

 even on Monday enough roses of all 

 kinds, except Beauties and possibly 

 white. Maids are in large supply. There 

 is a much greater variety of roses of- 

 fered in this market this year than in 

 previous seasons. 



Carnations are excellent in quality and 

 the production is steadily increasing. De- 

 mand is good and on Monday a large 

 number of orders were cut or turned 

 down, especially for white. 



Chrysanthemums have come on rapidly 



in the last week and prices have gone 

 down considerably, although a few fancy 

 blooms still bring $4 per dozen. All 

 sizes and colors are now to be had in 

 quantity, but the best sellers are yellows 

 at from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. 



Home grown single violets have come 

 to reinforce the large supplies of New 

 York doubles. Quality is improving with 

 cooler weather, but there is as yet no 

 special demand. Lily of the valley is 

 abundant. Easter lilies are less plentiful 

 and higher in price. A few callas are 

 arriving. There were large supplies of 

 outdoor stock at the first of the week, 

 but quality has become poor and the end 

 is close at hand. 



Boxwood is again in the market in 

 quantity and all greens are abundant. 

 Smilax is cheaper. Ferns are excellent. 

 There is a good call for wild smilax. 

 Bunches of piumosus are scarce.
