time this year, and the huge crops now 

 being cut have made it hard for the 

 wholesalers to secure anything better 

 than moderate prices. The quality, too, 

 has suffered, and many show the effects 

 of the hot sun. So far as foliage is 

 concerned they are excellent, but as to 

 bud it is necessary to exercise care to 

 pick out the good ones. Killarneys are 

 also abundant and, while many growers 

 have thrown out most of the old plants, 

 there are still more than the wholesaler^ 

 can find legitimate use for. This is more 

 especially true of the shorter ones. In 

 the longer lengths the call is more 

 nearly equal to the supply of good 

 stock. The same is true of Richmonds, 

 while there appears to be no oversupply 

 in yellows. June weddings have carried 

 off the surplus in these, and with the 

 early spring all yellow roses have found 

 a popular demand. Most of the roses 

 received at the opening of this week 

 were wide open because of the heat, and 

 the crop is expected to be run off in a 

 few days. 



In carnations the market is exceed- 

 ingly short of the better grades, and it 

 is hard to find really good shipping 

 stock. The sun has produced its usual 

 effect, and the majority of the large 

 quantities now being cut show poor 

 quality, the flowers being small, soft 

 and sleepy. The quantities arriving 

 have fairly swamped the local market, 

 and street men have cleaned out ice- 

 boxes at their own offer. These flowers 

 are peddled to the public at 10 cents 

 per bunch. 



Sweet peas appear to be in better 

 •condition than one would expect. Large 

 ■quantities have been picked during the 

 last few days and they move well, 

 although at extremely low prices. Lilies 

 are abundant, and valley is fully equal 

 to the supply. Cattleyas are arriving 

 in larger numbers, but no change in 

 price has been noted as yet. The mar- 

 ket is heavily loaded with miscellaneous 

 stock, which sells only at low prices. 



New crop hardy cut ferns are more 

 •plentiful and prices are falling. 



Various Notes. 



A case now occupying the attention 

 •of the County court is a suit for dam- 

 ages brought against the city by the 

 "Foley Mfg, Co. Some time ago the city 

 council passed an ordinance requiring 

 -the C. B. & Q. R. R. to elevate its tracks

adjacent to the property of the Foley 

 Mfg. Co., with the result that the value 

 of the property for manufacturing pur- 

 poses was damaged to a considerable 

 extent. Since the company and the 

 city were unable to compromise, the 

 issue is being tried out before a jury. 



N. P. Miller, with Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., has been having a serious time as 

 the result of blood poison, caused by an 

 asparagus thorn embedded in the little 

 finger of his right hand.

 door to Frank Johnson. 



One now seldom sees Maid and Bride, 

 but John Weiland, of Evanston, still 

 grows them and sends those he does not 

 need at home to C. W. McKellar to be 

 sold. 



W. J. Smyth says that while May was 

 the best in his experience, June is run- 

 ning behind. The two months, however, 

 average up well. Mr. Smyth and family 

 are preparing to go to their summer 

 home at Lake Marie, Antioch, 111. 



What the frost of May 10 spared of 

 this year 's peony crop was finished off 

 by the sun of June 15, according to O. 

 Johnson, of the Batavia Greenhouse Co. 



E. E. Pieser suggests that the early 

 closing be for three months this year,

instead of only July and August, as in 

 the past. He says September is not so 

 busy a month nowadays as is July or 

 August. He also suggests closing at 

 4:30 instead of 5 p. m. 



O. W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 says this June is like other Junes, in 

 that most of the business is in the first 

 part of the week. He explains it by 

 pointing to the fact that most of the 

 commencements and weddings are in the 

 early days of the week. 



That a brisk demand for good stock 

 will spring up before the week is over 

 is the belief of N. J. Wietor. He says 

 the heat will make most stock too poor 

 to use, resulting in a good sale for any- 

 thing really first-class. 



The biggest spring plant season on 

 record is the report at Frank Oechs- 

 lin's. For nearly two weeks his auto- 

 mobiles have been running about among 

 the growers, picking up stock with
