quality of Beauties averages first-rate 

 for the season. , ^ ^., 



Crops of Killarney are not quite so 

 heavy as they were, but the quality of 

 the stock continues to show improve- 

 ment. Many growers now are cutting 

 stems of good length, and it is possible 

 to find'any necessary quantity of extra 

 long, fancy flowers. White Killarney 

 shows the same betterment as the pink 

 variety, with the additional improve- 

 ment that color is whitening out, as a 

 result of cooler weather. There con- 

 tinue to be moderate receipts of Bride, 

 which command a sale at least as good 

 as White Killarney or Kaiserin. Some 

 fine My Maryland are available, but in 

 no great quantity; this rose is not the 

 factor that some expected it to be. Mrs. 

 Jardine also is good, and Mrs. Field is 

 being cut in fine shape by the few 

 growers who have planted it in quan- 

 tity. 



Chrysanthemums are much more Elbun- 

 dant than they were. Monrovia now 



is arriving in considerable quantity, and 

 has the call over Golden Glow. The 

 price of the best stock has in conse- 

 quence advanced another notch, but 

 there still art plenty of cheap yellow 

 mums. October Frost also is excellent, 

 and the season now is here when any- 

 one may safely book orders for the 

 queen of autumn in practically unlim- 

 ited quantity. 



Orchids are a little more abundant; 

 the cattleyas are fine. There is a good 

 demand for fancy valley, and an ade- 

 quate supply. Easter lilies are to be 

 had, but are not pressing for market. 

 Some excellent gladioli are seen, but 

 have become slow sale. Violets are 

 available, but are of the usual Septem- 

 ber quality. 



The green goods market is quiet, but 

 there is an increase in the call for plu- 

 mosus strings and smilax, because fall 

 openings, a» well as weddings, aro be- 

 coming numerous. 



New Wholesale House. 



The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 

 111., has engaged Boom 203 on the sec- 

 ond floor of the Atlas block, 51 Wabash 

 avenue and 35 Randolph street, and is 

 preparing to open a wholesale cut flower 

 store. It is understood the business 

 oflice of the concern will hereafter be 

 in Chicago and that Manager A. T. 

 Fyfer will be personally in charge. 



Various Notes. 



August Poehlmann, who has just pur- 

 chased a new six-cylinder Winton seven- 

 passenger touring car, met with an ex- 

 citing experience near Lyons, 111., Sun- 

 day afternoon, September 25. Sewer 

 builders had obstructed the highway, 

 leaving only a narrow passage for ve- 

 hicles. One wheel struck a rock that 

 was covered with loose soil, which 

 threw the machine into the excavation, 

 where it turned on its side. The only 

 occupants at the time Ttere Mr. Poehl-
