 Sominer Crop 



For years we have supplied the best Summer Beauties to be 

 had in the west. Most Beauty buyers know this, and we have 

 each season increased our production, to be able to take care of 

 the constantly increasing demand. This year our cut is larger 

 and finer than ever. Fancy long stock and plenty medium and 

 short, all with good heads and fine color. We hope to hear at 

 once from every Beauty buyer. 



Peonies 



Our Peonies are excellent; they invariably give satisfaction. 

 Nothing better for either funeral sprays or mid-summer deco- 

 rations. 



Kaiserins 



If you need good white roses, you want our Kaiserin — there are 

 no other white roses so good. We have a good cut in all lengths, but 

 advise early ordering, for this kind of stock doesn't hang around. 



Sweet Peas 



We again have fancy Sweet Peas in enormous quantity. No 

 matter what you want in Summer Flowers, order of us and get 

 good stock. Lilies, Shasta Daisies, Gladioli and everything 

 else in season.

CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



Every year at this date one hears that 

 business never was so dull as now, but 

 those who are not content with general 

 impressions and who consult their books 

 generally are finding that business now 

 is fully up to what it ever has been at 

 the middle of July. With some houses 

 there may be a slight falling oflf, due to 

 lack of salable stock, but other houses 

 which have provided summer cuts are 

 doing better than ever before, and the 

 total of business in the market is prob- 

 ably slightly better than in previous 

 summers; certainly not due to high 

 prices, but to a general broadening of 

 the business. 



It is undeniably quiet. The market is 



just between hay and grass. The stock 

 cut from old plants is extremely poor, 

 and the young plants have not yet de- 

 veloped to the point of giving good 

 flowers; also, the carnations are small 

 and soft, and the asters have not yet 

 arrived to take their places. 



There is extremely little good stock in 

 the market; in fact, not enough to supply 

 the demand. There is a good call for 

 really first-class Beauties, for there is 

 no other rose which gives so good satis- 

 faction to the public at this season. Also, 

 there is a good call for Killarney, with 

 the quality offered not nearly so good as 

 it has been. Kaiserin is still in light 

 supply, and White Killarney only just 

 beginning to come in. Bride is so small 



in flower that it is not satisfactory. 

 There are larger supplies of Richmond, 



comparatively speaking, for the demand 

 for this variety is slight in hot weather; 

 the quality also is excellent for the sea- 

 son. 



It seems the cheap peonies never will 

 be cleaned up, for those who conduct the 

 cheap sales still are able to get all they 

 want at their own prices. At the same 

 time, there is the normal mid-July sale 

 for the best grade of goods. Probably 

 the larger part of the good stock is well 

 sold at three bunches for $1, but there 

 are nevertheless buyers who are perfectly 

 willing to pay from 50 cents to 75 cents 

 for the best grades. Quite a number of 

 good peonies are being shipped out, be- 

 cause they are among the most satisfac- 

 tory flowers on the market at this time. 



In some houses the supply of carna- 

 tions is extremely light, because growers
