come in calling for stock at from 6 

 cents to 15 cents, while other houses 

 say the demand for even the highest 

 priced grade exceeds the supply. Beau- 

 ties are firming up in price. There is 

 considerable difference in the quality 

 of the stock offered, and the demand is 

 ample to take up everything that can 

 be described as strictly first-class. 



Violets are making an extremely poor 

 average; while there are a few bnyers 

 who will pay fair prices for small quan- 

 tities of the best grade, the biilk of the 

 arrivals, both single and double, must 

 be sold to the cheap sales people or go 

 iuto the waste.. The quantity of violets 

 arriving shows, however, that this mar- 

 ket is fully as good as any other large 

 market. The sweet peas do not appear 

 to be coming in so heavily as usual at 



this season and the good ones are selling 

 ejfcellently. There is the old complaint 

 that dark weather is causing the sweet 

 ^pea buds to drop. Orchids have short- 

 ened since last report and prices have 

 firmed up a little. It is stated that the 

 glut of Trianae is over and that there 

 now will be no oversupply until spring. 

 Tulips are arriving in greater quantity 

 and the quality has considerably im- 

 proved. There is a good sale for any- 

 thing first-class in yellow or red, with 

 white finding an outlet for funeral work. 

 Paper Whites and Romans continue a 

 glut. Freesia is more abundant and 

 cheaper. Jonquils are selling fairly well 

 and daffodils have arrived. Easter lilies 

 have become abundant once more, and 

 here and there quantities of rubrums 

 are seen. Snapdragons are neither so 



abundant nor so good as usual. There 

 is an abundance of valley. 



Schiller Oolng North. 



Schiller the Florist, Inc., has made 

 an arrangement with Emil Buettner to 

 take the lease on the property at 450&- 

 41 Evanston avenue, formerly operated 

 by Koropp Inc., now in the hands of an 

 assignee. It is expected that the papers 

 will be signed within a day or two. 

 Charles Christmann, assignee for Kor- 

 opp, has made arrangements to move the 

 business February 1, to 2817 Evanston 

 avenue, near Diversey, where it will be 

 continued with the prospect of shortly 

 being able to turn it back to Mr. 

 Koropp 's corporation. The greenhoufila^ 

 will remain at Bavenswood Park and 

 Wellington street, as now.
