of the growers will be disappointed at 

 the way pompons are selling this year 

 and will give less space to them next 

 season. 



Harry Manheim, with Hoerber Bros., 

 took a trip to the greenhouses at Des 

 Plaines last Sunday and reports the 

 crops looking excellent, especially car- 

 nations and roses. 



John Zech, of Zech & Mann, went to

The Southwestern Market. 



The local market has had another 

 good week so far as supply is con- 

 cerned, and business was quite steady 

 at all the wholesale houses. 



The mum season is at its height and 

 some splendid stock is coming in. Fancy 

 pompons have had a good call, for the 

 west end retailers are making a spe- 

 cialty of them. The rose consignments 

 last week were large and the stock of 

 excellent color, foliage and stem. The 

 first and second grades were in abundant 

 supply, while specials met with a good 

 demand. Prices on roses so far this 

 season have not been high, and the 

 same may be said as to carnations. Of 

 these there are a great many more of 

 the lower grades than of the fancy. The 

 latter always sell well in this market 

 at this season of the year.

SILKALINE 



Used by Betail Florists for mossing fnneral 

 desijfns. tyinjr bnnches, etc.. Is 



THE ONLY ARTICLE THAT SHOULD BE USED 



per lb. 



by Orowers for strlntrintr Smllax and Asparagus, as 

 it will not fade or rot in the greenhouse. The M«y«r 

 Sllkalln* was the first green thread to be introduced 

 among Florists and Orowers. It Is handled by the 

 best houses everywhere, but it should be ordered by 

 name— M«y«r*« Silkaline— to be sure of getting the 

 genuine article. Do noi accept substitutes. 



If your jobber cannot supply you. order direct of 

 the manufacturers. Price for any size or color, $1.25 

 Sizes "F" fine, "FF" medium, and "FFF" coarse.

MentloB The Review when yon write. 



Fancy Beauties are somewhat scarce, 

 but on the lower grades the market is 

 well supplied. Violets were in good 

 demand all last week, but the supply 

 was equal to the call. These are becom- 

 ing better each week in color and stem. 

 This market now has fancy valley at all 

 times, the supply coming from local 

 growers. Quite a few Easter lUies were 

 seen last week. Paper Whites are in 

 but Bomans have not made their ap| 

 pearance. In greens the market is wel 

 supplied.
