more in evidence than for some time 

 and during the next two months will 

 assume an important place on the local 

 market. These are always popular sum- 

 mer roses. 



Sweet peas have not been so plenti- 

 ful as heretofore and the last of the in- 

 door crops are now being picked. Out- 

 door peas will soon be here in quantity. 

 For the last few weeks the market has 

 been heavily supplied with the indoor 

 Spencers and the first few hot days 

 brought on an unusually large number 

 that forced prices down. Peonies of 

 the best grade have not been over- 

 plentiful at any time during the last 

 week, but of the seconds there still are 

 enough to supply everyone, although 

 there is no sign of a glut such as was 

 in effect a year ago. The quantity in 

 cold storage is small and they will pass 

 off the list shortly. Lilies are obtain- 

 able in fair quantities but good stock 

 is commanding better prices than a 

 week ago. Gladioli are gradually be- 

 coming more plentiful, but there are 

 not enough as yet to supply all the de- 

 mands of the local retailers. Valley is 

 in only fair supply after a big June run 

 and prices are holding firm. Cattleyas 

 are equal to every demand. Daisies have 

 passed their season of best sale and the 

 supply is diminishing. There are re- 

 ports of excellent outlet for good gail- 

 lardias and coreopsis. 



Ferns are more abundant and prices 

 falling slowly, but other greens are on 



Distinctive Window Valances " 



A valance of this character will bring you trade 



Your show window is your most valuable asset. Why not 

 make It attractive? The good taste displayed In WEINBbRQ'S 

 VALANCES will lend that air of refinement and exclusiveness 

 that is always to be desired. 



They are water and sun-proof— they can be cleaned when 

 soiled. They will not fade. Easy to install, they hook on and 

 off in a second. They are right in every particular.

the scarce side. Galax is short this 

 year. Asparagus sprays from Florida 

 have lost quality. Asparagus strings 

 and smilax have become minor items; 

 not many growers ship them now. 



Betailers Organizing. 



To feel out the sentiment of the trade 

 H. Dieu Schiller, as secretary, recently 

 sent a letter to 300 retailers, stating 



that "for the purpose of advancing and 

 bettering conditions for the retail flo- 

 rists of Chicago a meeting of said 

 florists will be called by the Retail 

 Florists' Association of Chicago, which 

 was lately organized for the purpose of 

 enacting laws, etc., to protect the in- 

 terests of the florists' business." A 

 reply postal was enclosed for the us© 

 of those who want to be advised of the
