 no (ivcrsn|iply .'iiid, coiisidoriiifi tht> 

 quality. I'xecllcnt jivicos :ire heiiiff 

 rcjilizcd. 



Tilt' lose iiuirl\('t is ill l)C'tf(>r fondi- 

 tiou lliaii a wcciv a^o and those who 

 liavc good eiits are ho[)iiiy that the 

 liassiiiii oi' jroo<l ast<'rs, and tlie short- 

 afic of caiiiatioiiH, will result in send- 

 ing the luiyers in search of roses. 

 Kvervoiie can )\v accMnnniodated. Many 

 growers now nro cutting Killarney. and 

 to a somewhat less extent White Killar- 

 iK'v. with stems of excellent length, 

 flowers (d' good size and suhstanee, stock 

 that will grade ;is specials. Richmond 

 also is in good supply and there are 

 fine "Xraryiiuid and .lardine. Kaisefin 

 continues to ln\(' tlie call among white 

 roses. Few l!ride are seen, Imt now and 

 then DIM runs a<-ross an excellent lot 

 of Maid. TIk' market for roses this 

 week has lieeii better than last week, 

 liut it is not yet what the rose growers 

 would like to see; the linyers balk at 

 any artemjit at advancing prices. 



'Ill" cuts of T-Jeanties have shortened 

 and the luiyers are finding it more dif- 

 ficult to secure the concessions which 

 have lieeii made in the last fortnight. It 

 si ill is |iossil)le to fill ;ill orders for 

 long stemmed Heaiities without making 

 special effort, Imt so large a part of 

 /the demand is for inedium-stemmed 

 stock that it is not .-ilways possible to 

 supply this grade, especially on lat« 

 orders. The (piality of the Jieauties 

 genera ll\ is excellent. 



Chrvsanthemums are ;irriving a little 

 more freely. N'ellow predominates, 

 tlKuigh there are :i few white. Qual- 

 ity varies widdy :ind ])rices continue 

 to rule lu'iow those ordinarily obtain- 

 able for mums at this season. Kaster 

 lilies are in fair supply ;ind (jiiite a 

 few lubrum and allium are seen, but 

 not many juiratums. (iliidi(di have been 

 oil the down grade lew some time, but 

 there still are enough for the demand, 

 which has decrease<l along with the suji- 

 ply of these flowers. Dahlias are not 

 iinicli ill evi<l<'uce; they sell so [loorlv 

 th.'it none of the wholesalers seems 

 .inxioii* to take in any (piantity. There 

 is a soiuewhaf better call for \-allev. 

 ''attl'-ya'- are scarce and even small 

 orders sometimes go unfilled. 



Green goods of all kinds are in good 

 supply, wild smilax now having arrived 

 to cojnpete with the indoor greens. 



Various Notes. 



Strail & Hahn had the decorations for 

 the recent Koosevelt banquet at the 

 Congress hotel. Places were arranged 

 for 1,000 guests and Mr. 8trail says 

 something like 8,000 Killarneys, 200 

 long-stemmed Beauties, 500 short- 

 stemmed Beauties and 500 bunches of 

 Sprengeri were used, to say nothing of 

 1.000 Killarneys for boutonnieres. The 

 Beauties and part of the Sprengeri were 

 used on the speakers' table, with small 

 red, white and blue electric lights 

 strung behind the Sprengeri. 



Oeorge Wienhoeber, of the Fleisch- 

 man Floral Co., is back from a two 

 weeks' vacation spent in Minnesota 

 and other northern states. The Fleisch- 

 man store has been somewhat torn up 

 awaiting the arrival of a new ice-box 

 which is expected this week. This box 

 will oe nine feet high and twelve feet 

 wide and is to be used exclusively for 

 orchids, violets and valley. Mr. Wien- 

 hoeber also states that the company ex- 

 jtects soon to put another new auto de- 

 livery MJigon into service. 



it is reported that O. J. Friedman's 

 new store in the Congress hotel will be 

 iqiened some time before October 1; in 

 fact, as soon as the ice-box is installed. 

 Mr. Friedman expects to manage both 

 the new and the present store in per- 

 son. .Asked as to the summer's busi- 

 ness. Mr. Friedman said that it was 

 the second August in twenty years that 

 showed aiiv profit, and that speaks for 

 itself. 



(ieorge M'ittbold is reported seriously 

 ill. Otto Wittbold, manager of the 

 F^dgefirook greenhouses, is spending a 

 few weeks at Marquette, Mich., where 

 he hopes to get rid of a severe attack 

 of hav fever. 



L. Baumann & Co.. finding themselves 

 crannied for room at their building at 

 .'5.19 West Chicago avenue, have leased 

 about 4,100 square feet of space in a 

 new building at West Superior and 

 North I'ranklin streets and will use it 

 as an extra warehouse.

 Aphine will not injure the 

 tenderest flower or foli-

It possesses excellent 

 cleansing qualities.
