CHICAGO. 



The Great Central MarkeU 



Business began to pick up toward the 

 end of last week and may be said to be 

 unusually active for the closing days of 

 August; ordinarily the last fortnight of 

 August is about the dullest period of 

 summer. 



Conditions are radically different from 

 those of a year ago. There is no glut 

 of asters and all outdoor stock is either 

 scarce or poor. There are many thou- 

 sands of gladioli, but a majority are too 

 poor to be worth sending to market and 

 do not count in considering the supply. 

 • There are few indoor flowers and supply 

 is in general much ta^bter than nsnal at 

 this date. Light «opply always means 

 brisk demand, at least by contrast, and 

 there is an appearance of activity the 

 market iHW not had for months. Every- 

 thing of usable quality is cleaned up 

 eaeb dSay. 



Ifl the rose department Killarney pre- 

 dominates. It is in large supply and 

 although the most popular rose, there

are quantities adequate to all require- 

 ments. Beauties also are more abundant 

 than they have been. There is little 

 change as to other varieties. 



The midseason asters now being on, 

 the quality is improved, but the supply 

 is nowhere near so large as it would have 

 been with normal weather conditions. 

 There is no glut, as is usual at this date. 

 The best asters bring fine prices and 

 even the poorest sell out after a fashion. 



Carnations once more are available, 

 some growers having begun to cut from 

 the freshly benched plants in the houses, 

 while others are sending in increased 

 quantities of field grown stock. Of 

 course, the stems are short, but most of 

 the stock is clean and salable. 



There continue to be adequate supplies 

 of lilies of all kinds. Valley is again 

 plentiful. The approach of the autumn 

 season is shown in that a few chrysanthe- 

 mums are seen. 



Beginning September 1, all the whole- 

 sale houses will be open until 6 p. m. 

 and the new season may be said to be 

 fairly on. 



Death of Mrs. Pieser. 



Mrs. Myra Pieser, wife of Gabriel H. 

 Pieser, president of the Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., and mother of George H. Pieser, 

 died August 18, after a long illness. She 

 was in the hospital, but was thought ta 

 be much better,, when an internal hemor- 

 rhage caused the end to come most un- 

 expectedly. The funeral was held from 

 Purth's chapel on Grand boulevard Au- 

 gust 20, with interment at Graceland 

 cemetery. Mr. Pieser, being left en- 

 tirely alone, has broken up housekeeping 

 and will in the future make his home 

 with his son, George. 



Thompson Scores a Point. 



Judge Dibell, at Joliet, has handed 

 down a written opinion in the matter of 

 the petition filed by J. D. Thompson for 

 a modification of the injunction now 

 standing against him in the matter of 

 the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co. The 

 court declines to interfere with the pres- 

 ent order of things in the company, but 

 interprets the injunction so that Mr. 

 Thompson will have the right to vote, at
