re:isiii is not so much the strength of 

 the deniiUid as the lightness of the sup- 

 ply of long-stemmed flowers. There 

 are plenty of short roses, but not many 

 long ones. Killarney holds its lead and 

 it appears that the market will be 

 largely dependent upon White Killarney 

 for white roses this summer; there are 

 few Kaiserin and hardly any Bride. 

 Most of the White Killarney are short 

 and there are not many but what show 

 the characteristic summer color. Such 

 Kaiserin as come in command an extra 

 price. Maryland and Jardine are in 

 good form. Only a few Field are seen. 

 Eichmond is in slight request, for red 

 roses are not much wanted in summer. 



There continue to be large supplies 

 of carnations, although no such glut as 

 existed a few weeks ago. The shipping 

 demand for these is not strong and sum- 

 mer prices are the rule, for summer 

 quality is all that can be expected. 



Easter lilies continue abundant. A 

 few first-class indoor gladioli are seen. 

 Orchids have become one of the short 

 items. Valley is abundant. 



The new crop of ferns is here in 

 large quantities and prices have 

 fallen still another notch. 



Last week business w^as entirely sat- 

 isfactory by comparison with what has 

 gone before. The city trade is not 

 strong, though there have been a fair 

 number of weddings to use up the spe- 

 cial stock. Shipping demand is good. 

 The number of orders received is 

 large, but the average size of the or- 

 ders is small. It .appears that the 

 country buyers have all the poor stock 

 they can dispose of; they send to Chi- 

 cago only for the better grades of 

 stock, material for filling orders that 

 call for better flowers than the home 

 production. 



Beginning .July 1, the wholesale 

 houses will close at 5 p. m. 



Big Spring Show. 



Secretary J. H. Burdett states that 

 the executive committee of the Horti- 

 cultural Society of Chicago has voted 

 not to hold the usual fall flower show 

 in the Coliseum building this year, but 

 to hold a big exhibition next March 

 in its stead. A dahlia ami. aster show 

 will be held at the Art "fhstitute in

September, the exact date to be deter- 

 mined by the seasonable conditions. A 

 premium schedule for this exhibition is 

 now being printed and will be issued 

 shortly. A premium schedule for the 

 spring show next March is being pre- 

 l)ared by a special committee, which 

 held a meeting at the office of W. N. 

 Eudd .Tune 26. It will ofi'er prizes as 

 large as usually given in the fall show 

 at Chicago. It is hoped in the spring 

 exhibition to obtain a more varied dis- 

 play, and to arouse renewed i»ublic in- 

 terest in the flower show. 



Growers' Association Announces Flans. 



A lease has been executed by the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association on 

 the entire building at 176 North Michi- 

 gan avenue (old number. 81 Michigan), 

 and it is planned to open for business 

 .Tuly 15. A meeting was held .June 27 

 at which all details were closed up ex- 

 cept the selection of a manager, which 

 will remain open until July 5. 



The location is between Kaodolph 

 and Lake streets, the })roperty being 

 store, basement and three upper floors, 

 each 24x130. A five years' lease has 

 been made at an annual rental of

 are to be occupied by ,the wholesale 

 house, fixtures having been ordered, and 

 the upper floors sublet until such time 

 as the growth of the business calls for 

 their use. Officers of the company state 

 that all the shares of the company have 

 for the present been placed with grow- 

 ers; that consignments will not be han- 

 dled except from stockholders and that 

 the stock of supplies carried will, at 

 least for a time, be limited to such 

 articles as are used by growers, the 

 effect being to give the stockholders 

 the benefits of cooperative buying and 

 selling. 



The management, until a permanent 

 manager is appointed, rests with Presi- 

 dent J. F. Kidwell. The other of-
