stronger. The principal shortage is in 

 the medium and shorter lengths; there 

 are enough long-stemmed Beauties. 



With more seasonable weather the 

 rose crop has returned to its normal 

 size, and the condition of the market is 

 more healthy. There is no shortage of 

 .•iny variety, and the quality is excel- 

 lent. An increasing proportion is of 

 the select and special grades. 



The carnation market had a period 

 of weakness during the first week of 

 October, but is in a little better condi- 

 tion this week. The supply increased 

 more rapidly than the demand, and 

 prices went down, but as soon as buyers 

 found out the state of affairs they be- 

 gan to take hold more freely. In gen- 

 eral, ibhe stock is of excellent quality 

 for this date. Stems are of fair length 

 and otherwise the flowers are excellent. 

 The wholesalers have been disap- 

 pointed at the way violets have acted. 

 The supply has increased materially, 

 and with the increase buyers have be- 

 come critical of quality and arbitrary 

 in their demands for price concessions. 

 Some of the returns for last week will 

 give little joy in Rhinebeck. 



Increasing quantities of dahlias are 

 received, and they sell fairly well at 

 <'heap prices. Easter lilies are more 

 plentiful. One of the notable changes 

 of the week has been the increase in 

 the supply of orchids. These are now 

 abundant and of excellent quality. 

 Prices are much below those which have 

 ruled for the last few months, and as 

 a result a good business is being done. 

 Valley is plentiful. Much fine Cosmos 

 Lady Lenox is offered, and sells well at 

 a moderate price. 



The green goods market presents no 

 special features. 



Club Meeting. 



Not in many months has there been 

 as large an attendance as at the meet- 

 ing of the Florists' Club October 6. 

 Flower show arrangements were up for 

 discQSsion. It was voted to contribute 



$100 to the premium fund and to hold 

 the club's annual banquet at 6:30 p. m., 

 Thursday, November 10, which is during 

 flower show week. President Asmus 

 was directed to appoint a committee of 

 five to complete the banquet arrange- 

 ments. He also was instructed to ap- 

 point a committee of seven retailers to 

 manage the club's booth for the sale of 

 flowers at the show, and a committee 

 to have charge of the club's other priv- 

 ileges. 



President Asmus, H. N, Bruns and 

 Anton Then were appointed a commit- 

 tee to call on J. F. Klimmer, one of the 

 club's oldest members, who is ill. 



Three applications for membership 

 were received, and the following twelve 

 new members were elected: W. P. 

 Kyle, 5435 Lake avenue, Joseph Foer- 

 ster, 2242 North Halsted street, who 

 comprise the firm of Kyle & Foerster; 

 A. C. Rott, William Kellsner, Emil Mid- 

 dendorf, A, Christiansen, H. Nicholson 

 and II. Ihimke, of Joliet; Fred Smith, 

 2509 Touhy avenue; Joseph Dimoeck, 

 3356 Potomac avenue; J. Byers, 48 Wa- 

 bash avenue, and J. W. Fink, 2642 

 Herndon street. 



A special meeting of the club will be 

 held at the Union restaurant. Thursday 

 evening, October 20. 



Friedman's New Store, 



0. J. Friedman opened his branch 

 store in the Congress hotel Mondaj-, 

 October 9. The new store will be con- 

 ducted under the name of the Congress 

 Floral Co., and is in charge of William 

 A. Graff, who has been with Mr. Fried- 

 man at the main store for the last four 

 years. Originally Mr. Friedman ex- 

 pected to open the store about October 

 1, but considerable delay was experi- 

 enced in getting the refrigeration sys- 

 tem properly installed. Pipes are run 

 from the main cooling system used in 

 the hotel, so no ice will be necessary. 

 The refrigerator was built by the 

 Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co., and is 

 4x8 feet and eight feet high, A plate

glass mirror forms the back ,and sides, 

 and the top and bottom are of tile. 

 The outside finish is mahogany, to 

 match the rest of the store. The walls 

 of the store are decorated with paint- 

 ings of flowers in the field, while the 

 ceiling is a neat conventional design. 

 There is a fair sized display window, 

 with a brick floor, that should make an 

 attractive setting for vases of cut 

 flowers. 



Various Notes. 



H. F. Halle has removed his store 

 from the northeast corner of Sheridan 

 road and Halsted street to the south- 

 west corner of the same streets. The 

 new number is 801 Sheridan road, 



Poehlmann Bros, Co. now has two 

 large hquses filled with orchids, and 

 considerable stock in a third house. The 

 number of plants is not so great as it 

 was expected to be this season, because
