crease in the supply of stock, the mar- 

 ket is probably bringing less in the 

 way of returns than it has since the 

 summer months. Boses are in big 

 supply and the stock is generally of 

 good quality. Beauties still are being 

 cut in quantity, but, though of the 

 best color, with good, strong stems, 

 the prices obtained are far below the 

 usual run. In some cases the dealers 

 are forced to take what they can get 

 in order to move them at all. Kil- 

 larneys are likewise being cut in large 

 numbers and the local retailers are tak- 

 ing advantage of the quality and low 

 prices to advertise sales in the daily 

 papers. This has helped to some ex- 

 tent to move off the surplus stock, but 

 there is still more than enough for the 

 local demand. Bichmonds are in good 

 supply, but not nearly so abundant as 

 the Killarneys and Beauties, while Mrs. 

 Ward, Maryland, Sunburst and the va- 

 rious other roses do not appear to be in 

 full crop at present. However, there 

 are plenty of these to meet all the 

 calls. * 



Carnations are in big supply and all 

 colors are being shipped in quantity. 

 Good stock is scarce, however, as the 

 warm weather that has prevailed has 

 not served to improve the quality. 

 Prices, too, have suffered somewhat 

 and only on the best do the wholesale 

 men realize any returns worth while. 

 Sweet peas have been cut in even 

 larger numbers during the last ten days 

 and there are plenty to fill all demands. 

 Outdoor bulbous stock has been ar- 

 riving on the market at intervals, but 

 there is no great amount of satisfac- 

 tion to be gained, for most of the stock 

 has been delayed in transit and it is 

 hard to obtain any first-class stock. 

 Valley seems to be "getting as good a 

 call as anything else and the spring 

 wedding season is undoubtedly aiding 

 the sale, for there is not any too much 

 of the high grade valley to be had and 

 prices are generally firm. Violets are 

 rapidly decreasing in supply and but 

 few are good enough to ship. 



Various Notes. 



Erne & Klingel say the run on roses 

 has been good during the last week and 

 they cleaned up unusually well con- 

 sidering conditions. 



Bassett & Washburn say that the 

 difficulty in making shipments to east-

 hard to clean out entirely, and the 

 making of risk shipments has resulted 

 in loss of stock in some cases. 



Frank Stuppy and wife, of St. 

 Joseph, Mo., passed through Chicago 

 on the way to New York to attend the 

 flower show, and visited with friends 

 in the local market. 



A. Henderson was one of those who 

 went to the flower show at New York. 

 A. Miller is on duty at the store office 

 and reports spring business is keeping 

 everyone busy. 



A. L. Vaughan, who has been con- 

 fined to his home with rheumatism for 

 the last two weeks, was able to be at . 

 the store April 3, but suffered another 

 attack April 6. W. E. Lynch is in 

 charge and says things are moving 

 along nicely. 



Hoerber Bros, report that repairs 

 have been effected on the Des Plaines 

 greenhouses and, with the exception of 

 the three houses that were wrecked.

all the houses are now in first-class 

 shape, including the stock. Only the 

 stock in three houses was lost. 



W. French, of Sharp, Partridge & 

 Co., tells of several large orders for 

 glass, which he believes are the result 

 of the recent storms and floods. One 

 order for 1,165 boxes from Clevelamli 

 O., is worthy of mention. Mr. French 

 also states that a shipment of a full 

 carload of greenhouse glass was re- 

 cently made to 6cean Park, Cal.
