still equal to all demands. There ap- 

 pears to be no limit to the violet supply. 

 Gardenias are selling better than other 

 seasons, because either gardenias, cat- 

 tleyas or valley are used with most of 

 the violet corsages. Valley is plentiful. 

 There has been an increase in the sup- 

 ply of Easter lilies, but callas continue 

 scarce. 



In the latter part of last week there 

 was a pronounced increase in the supply 

 of bulbous stock, except Paper Whites, 

 which are less plentiful and bringing 

 old-time prices. Tulips have come in 

 heavily and are selling first-rate. Much 

 of the stock is of excellent quality, all 

 colors are available and sales are rather 

 more satisfactory than the bulb growers 

 have had in recent years. 



Eeally good ferns are not plentiful 

 and the price has advanced. There is 

 a good call for Mexican ivy and adian- 

 tum. The market is well supplied with 

 smilax, but there are only moderate 

 supplies of asparagus. 



January Business. 



The total of sales in the Chicago mar- 

 ket for January shows a good increase 

 over the first month of 1910. During 

 the first ten days of the month stock 

 was plentiful and the large quantity 

 moved, if at low prices, ran into a good 

 total. Then roses shortened, as they 

 always do after the Christmas crop is 

 off. Under the influence of increased 

 shipping demand, prices of roses ad- 

 vanced sharply, which had a stiffening 

 effect on the values of all other flowers. 

 On the whole, there was more stock in 

 the market this January than last, as 

 good prices were realized and the 

 month's sales total a satisfactory in- 

 crease.

 Peter Reinberg is receiving rather more 

 votes than anyone not an avowed can- 

 didate. All Mr. Eeinberg's influence 

 goes for his friend, Carter H. Harrison. 

 The J. A. Budlong lease in the Atlas 

 block expires May 1 and the agent in- 

 sists on a three years' term for a re- 



newal. Phil Schupp thinks that under 

 the circumstances he is entitled to a 

 short term and says they will move 

 rather than permit themselves to be 

 saddled with a lon^ lease just at a time 

 when they may wish to participate in 

 a general removal to a florists' building.
