y 



Best Hot Weather White Rose 



Last week's return of hot weather has brought 

 our crop of Kaiserin to the front again. While 

 Bride came soft, Kaiserin was not affected and we 

 are sending out the best white roses the 

 market affords. The crop is large. Order 

 some today. 



Beauties Carnations 



You will like our Beauties. They 

 are selling' well, but the crop is 

 large and your order can be filled 

 — any length of stem. 



Asters 



The end of the season is ap- 

 proaching, but our stock is second 

 to none in this market. 



Once more in good supply; qual- 

 ity improving every day. En- 

 chantress already has fair stems. 

 You will find us headquarters for 

 fancy carnations again this winter.

You need Valley every day and 

 we can supply Fancy stock in any 

 quantity, at any time.

You have known our house for years as "headquarters for Green 

 Goods." For the fall decorations we can supply Asparagus and Smilax 

 in any quantity. Long strings, and we can quote special prices on large 

 lots. Also plenty of Sprengeri, Adiantum, Farleyense and all outdoor 

 greens. Best Ferns in the Market.

CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



The market suffered a relapse to mid- 

 summer last week, for there were four 

 days in succession with temperatures 90 

 degrees or above. The result was a 

 large increase in supplies and the in- 

 evitable falling off in demand. Also, the 

 quality of stock suffered greatly and 

 it was difficult to find satisfactory ma- 

 terial with which to take care of the 

 little business there was doing. 



The greatest glut was of asters. These 

 came in by the wagon-load and most 

 of the wholesale houses were choked with 

 the accumulation before the end of the 

 week was reached. Only a small part 

 of the stock was really first-class, and 

 there was good sale for any stock worth 

 2 cents to 3 cents, while buyers would 

 not stop to look at asters offered at 

 from $1 per hundred to as low as the 

 buyer cared to make the price. Ridicu- 

 lous quotations were heard and the ma- 

 jority of the stock was jobbed off at 

 a few dollars per table, or ice-box, or 



whatever the receptacle might be. There 

 was, of course, a large percentage of 

 waste, and returns to the growers were 

 small indeed. 



Roses also came in heavily, and the 

 heat deprived them of the good quality 

 recently noted. Under the influence of 

 the hot weather, each day 's receipts were 

 of wide open stock, which was practi- 

 cally unsalable. The few good, tight 

 roses sold well. More mildew is no- 

 ticed than for a long time, weather 

 conditions seeming specially favorable 

 for this affliction of the growers. 



The present week sees slight improve- 

 ment, but with a few days of cool 

 weather much better things are looked 

 for. The receipts of asters are not so 

 heavy, although there continue to be 

 great oversupplies of the poorest grades. 

 Gladioli also are overabundant and there 

 are unsalable dahlias, for this latter 

 flower never goes any too well in this 

 market. 



Carnations are coming in more heavily 

 every day, but a considerable part of 

 the receipts might better not be shipped 

 to town. The discolored whites are not 



salable, and little or nothing can be done 

 with the stock with stems three or four 

 inches long. There is a good market for 

 the best grades of carnations, and En- 

 chantress is seen with stems a foot or 

 more in length; but not enough of this 

 grade to go around. 



Chrysanthemums are seldom seen, the 

 supply as yet being only enough to take 

 care of advance orders, but before the 

 end of this week daily shipments are 

 promised by a number of growers. 



The market for green goods is looking 

 up; the fall openings and the weddings 

 make a demand for strings of asparagus 

 and smilax. 



Winterson'c Asters. 



It is probable that the E. F. Winter- 

 son Co. had more asters on hand Satur- 

 day morning, September 12, than evel 

 had been seen at one time in any whole- 

 sale house in this market. E. F. Win- 

 terson estimated the lot at from 85,000 

 to 90,000, mostly the receipts of Fri- 

 day, but partly the accumulation from 

 earlier in the week. Large consign- 

 ments were received from as far away as
