Melody, as well as Mrs. Taft, a good 

 supply can be had, of fine quality. The 

 call is not extremely heavy, but fair 

 prices are being obtained along with 

 the others. " ' * 



Asters have suffered from the weather 

 and strictly first-class stock is not plen- 

 tiful. The poorer stock is present in 

 large quantities and little can be done 

 to move it. The best demand a good 

 price, as is the case with the best of the 

 gladioli. Sweet peas have been dam- 

 aged by the rains, although a few are 

 seen around the market. Mums, the 

 ^rst of the season, made their appear- 

 ance on the market last week and it was 

 novel to note that both these and some 

 good peonies were being offered at the 

 same time. Golden Glow is the variety 

 and some of the initial cuts were excel- 

 lent. Field carnations and new indoor 

 stock are on the market and these ap- 

 pear to be in fine shape, despite the 

 deluge of rain and the wet condition of 

 the fields. 



Local Convention Participation. 



A committee of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club has issued the following: 



"As you are doubtless aware, it is 

 twenty-five years since the Society of 

 American Florists met in this city, 

 where it was organized three years 

 earlier, in 1884. At the coming conven- 

 tion there will be a large attendance of 

 members from all sections of the coun- 

 try and it would seem advantageous to 

 give trade employees every opportunity 

 to meet their fellow craftsmen on this 

 occasion, especially on the closing day, 

 Friday, August 23, which has been set 

 aside for amusementu and entertain- 

 ment at Ravinia park. Those who are 

 not members of the Society of Amer- 

 ican Florists can obtain tickets at the 

 Coliseum covering all the entertainment 

 features of the convention, at low trade 

 rates, lower, we believe, than the actual 

 cost, and the members of this club are 

 hopeful that all local employers and em- 

 ployees in the trade and allied trades 

 will join in making the closing day of

 all our visitors. To this end it has been 

 suggested that all employers, where con- 

 ditions permit, close their places of

 may enjoy the holiday. ' ' 



Various Notes.

 Grove plant. The special train leaves 

 the Union station at 12:40 p. m. The

 vention. 



A. L. Vaughan was visiting some of 

 the growers this week and says that 

 stock as a rule is in excellent condition.
