generally are satisfactory. Pompons 

 are now available in considerable 

 quantity and sell well locally; ship- 

 ping is light on these. 



Last week's heavy crops of Beau- 

 ties were curtailed with unexpected 

 suddenness and it is said that some of 

 those retailers who had advertised 

 cheap sales found difficulty in getting 

 the stock at a price that would afford 

 a profit. Short roses are extremely 

 scarce; but, though the demand is good, 

 other roses are so nearly equal to re- 

 quirements that there has not as yet 

 been much advance in price. Killarney 

 and White Killarney and, to a lesser 

 extent, Eichmond, are about the only 

 roses now available in quantity, the 

 novelties being in extremely light sup- 

 ply. The special grades of Killarneys 

 include stock of the exhibition char- 

 acter and sales are reported of limited 

 quantities as high as 15 cents. 



The cuts of carnations have been 

 reduced and prices are making further 

 progress up the scale^ Violets are much 

 more plentiful and of improved qual- 

 ity; also, they are selling better than 

 heretofore. The demand for cattleyas 

 is such that large receipts no more than 

 suffice for the orders and good prices 

 are obtained for all good stock. Easter 

 lilies and' valley are abundant. Dahlias 

 have been coming in considerable quan- 

 tity, for the first frost held off until 

 October 23. The cosmos has been espe- 

 cially good. 



There is an abundance of everything 

 in the line of green goods. 



Various Notes. 



C. W. Johnson, who is in charge of 

 the flower show that is to be a feature 

 of the club meeting November 2, 

 makes the following announcement: 

 "All flowers for the novelty exhibi- 

 tion of the Chicago Florists' Club 

 should be shipped express prepaid to 

 A. T. Pyfer, secretary, 30 East Ran- 

 dolph street, Chicago, HI., to arrive by 

 the afternoon of Thursday, November 



John P. Risdh went to Evanston 

 October 22 to have a look at a crop 

 of daisies in the greenhouses of Wei- 

 land & Bisch that he thinks will be 

 heard from a little later. 



D. E. Freres says that trade now is 

 making up for its summer dullness. 



Frank Ayers, right-hand man for 

 C. W, McKellar, leaves October 26 for 

 another of his trips to Texas, this time 

 for an indefinite stay. 



At A. L. Randall's, Frank Johnson 

 says the scope of the cut flower busi- 

 ness in this market is well indicated 

 by the fact that one mail Monday 

 brought inquiries regarding standing 

 orders from points as far away as 

 Texas and the state of Washington. 



Frank Felke, of Wilmette, says he 

 will begin to cut Bonnaffon chrysanthe- 

 mum by the end of the week. 



H. A. Fisher Co., Kalamazoo, will 

 have the formal opening of its new 

 store October 28. 



C. M. Dickinson is again at his desk 

 at E. H. Hunt's, fully recovered from 

 his recent illness. 



O. W. Frese reports many inquiries 

 and quite a few orders for New Or- 

 leans shipments the latter part of this 

 week. He says that what the trade 

 there wants is Maid and Bride, Winsor 

 and White Lawson — give them these 

 and there will be no trouble. 



At J. A. Budlong's, Phil Schupp has 

 word that the southern crop of chrys- 

 anthemums is none to good this year,
