CHICAGO'S SPEINa SHOW. 



At a meeting of the executive com- 

 mittee of the Horticultural Society 

 of Chicago February 5, plans for the 

 spring flower show in the Art Insti- 

 tute March 12 to 17 were considered. 

 Students of the Art Institute submitted 

 several poster designs in competition 

 for a prize offered by the Horticultural 

 Society. A manager will be engaged 

 at once. One suggestion is that a sepa- 

 rate art gallery be used for each section 

 of the exhibits, thus providing a rose 

 room, a carnation room, an orchid room, 

 etc., while the larger flowering plants 

 and decorative stock can be arranged 

 on the stairways and in corridors. Much 

 of the success of the Chicago flower 

 shows of the past has been attributed 

 to unconventional staging and the man- 

 agement is desirous of obtaining the 

 same result this time. The Art Insti- 

 tute offers a problem quite distinct from 

 the Coliseum and Suggestions on how 

 to deal with it will be welcomed. Ad- 

 dress J. H, Burdett, secretary, 1620

BOOHESTEB, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Milder weather prevails this week 

 and business is much brighter in every 

 way. Transient trade is almost double 

 what it was during the cold snap and 

 things are humming once more. Janu- 

 ary 29, McKinley day, was but little 

 observed here; there were no special 

 displays in the florists' shop windows, 

 nor was there an extra supply of car- 

 nations on hand. 



An abundant supply of valley is 

 flooding the market, but the price re- 

 mains about the same. Lilies are quite 

 plentiful and are useful in design work. 

 Carnations are abundant, but roses are 

 still scarce and the price is high. Beau- 

 ties are in the same condition. Sweet 

 peas and freesias are pouring into the 

 market in great shape and the price is 

 rather firm. Other seasonable stock is 

 in good supply. 



Various Notes.

The Market. 



The market last week had every- 

 thing that was seasonable and plenty 

 of it, excepting roses and fancy carna- 

 tions. In these the demand was quite 

 heavy and all cleaned up early. The de- 

 mand was also good in violets, but the 

 market had plenty daily to supply any 

 size of order that came along. There 

 was quite a batch of lilies consigned 

 to this market during the week and 

 the demand cleaned them up nicely. 

 Other bulb stock came in heavily every 

 day and some was left over, this being , 

 the only line on which there was a 

 surplus. Tulips, Von Sions, jonquils 

 and freesias are of extra good quality. 



The retail trade reports a good week; 

 a great many social affairs are being 

 given now, and this week several large 

 weddings will take place, which should 

 use up a lot of fancy quality flowers. 



Various Notes. 



Arnold Eingier, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, paid us a brief visits last 

 week. Mr. Eingier has recovered 'fifom 

 his recent attack of rheumatism.

 local trade, was taken to the city hos-

 time this month.

 evidenced by the growers in the dis- 

 cussion of "Pot Grown Eoses" sched- 

 uled for the meeting of the Florists'

 the purchase of an automobile as the 

 result of the death of one of their val- 

 uable horses last week, 



Henry Emunds, of Belleville, spent 

 a day in the city last week. Mr. 

 Emunds reports a good deal of work, 

 but says cut stock is so scarce that in- 

 stead of consigning to this market 

 he has to buy to supply the demand.

 ments of American Beauties last week.
