the week could almost be termed chrys- 

 anthemum, week from the number of 

 different varieties of the larger and 

 finer qualities now being received. All 

 colors are represented and the quality 

 ranges from the highest to the poor 

 stock that finds little encouragement 

 from the buyers who take only the 

 better grades. The warm weather 

 has brought on the crops with greater 

 rapidity than was ant^ipajted. Whether 

 this will affect the usual crops for the 

 Thanksgiving trade is a question that 

 is giving the local men some worry, but 

 it is expected that enough will be on 

 hand to care for everyone. Carnations 

 are most likely to come in faster if the 

 weather continues warm, and roses are 

 expected to respond to the conditions 

 as well, so that there is hardly any 

 chance that orders will be slighted. 

 Pompon mums, and singles, are everj'- 

 where. They are selling well but the 

 supply is so much greater than last 

 year that prices have suffered. 



Greens are holding firm, with the 

 hardy ferns meeting with the usual ad- 

 vance that is experienced at this time 

 each year. Lilies are still in good de- 

 mand and bring a good price. Violets 

 are arriving on the market in large 

 quantities and are finding an excellent 

 demand in the face of the fine weather. 

 Retailers report that the weather is 

 suitable to increased business and as 

 long as it continues corsage bouquets 

 will be popular. Cattleyas are not so 

 plentiful as they were and the price has 

 advanced. Paper Whites have become 

 fairly plentiful. 



Club Meeting.

 fifty and sixty members at the meet- 

 ing of the Chicago Florists' Club No-
