Bowling. 



At the meeting of the Bowlinjir Club held last 

 Friday evening- it was decided to join the Anson 

 League, and President Hauswirth atid Captain 

 Winterson were authorized to act on behalf of 

 thf club in the matter. Steps were taken to keep 

 tlie bowlers in g-ood form durjnfr the year in order 

 that what escaped in New York may be gathered 

 in at Buffalo. 



At the first series played by the clubs in the 

 Anson League last Monday night the boys were

We cannot boom the business on 

 this end of the route so long as this 

 weather continues. The weather bu-

 Frost and Dame Nature have formed 

 a trust to ruin prices. True the com-

 upon us, but smiled again so soon

WEILAND & RISCH. 



One of the later additions to the 

 ranks of the growers of cut flowers 

 for the Chicago market is the Arm of 

 Weiland & Risch who started about 

 two years ago with a range of glass 

 at Evanston. Additions made this 

 summer bring their glass surface up 

 to over 100,000 square feet and they 

 are cutting some excellent stock. The 

 American Beauty rose is a leader with 

 them and they have 12,000 plants 

 benched for this season. Other roses 

 grown are Golden Gate, Liberty, 

 Bride, Maid and Kaiserin. They have 

 also gone into fancy carnations quite 

 heavily and have all the best new 

 sorts. 



They have a city store at 59 Wa- 

 bash Ave., where Mr. Risch presides, 

 while Mr. Weiland is in charge at the 

 greenhouses. These young men are 

 progressive and are developing quite 

 a business in the shipping line as well 

 as locally. 



We present herewith portraits of 

 the members of this firm and a par- 

 tial view of the greenhouses at Evans- 

 ton. 



that blossoms of glass-grown prod- 

 ucts have been and still are tumbling 

 over each other to get off the plants. 

 There is a great abundance of good 

 roses coming, all hands — street and 

 all, being supplied at customer's 

 prices with many inferior ones left 

 that will not move at all. Good red 

 ones have been selling very well, as 

 they have not been so plentiful. Car- 

 nations are cleaning up well enough 

 at fair prices and outdoor goods are 

 getting tired. Single violets getting 

 more plentiful and quite a few double 

 ones appeared upon Oct. 6, prices on 

 both kinds running from 25 to 50 

 cents per 100. 



Notes. 



Upon Oct. 3, T. Roland brought in 

 the first colored chrysanthemums — 

 pink and yellow, white ones being 

 considered common. S. J. Goddard 

 is pulling hard upon some red ones 

 in order to be first with that color. 



Tuohy, The Florist (2nd edition), 

 of So. Boston, has put up the bravest 

 display of window cards, based upon 

 large photos of himself, ever seen in 

 the trade here. They are bold designs 

 so skilfully executed that they are 

 worth a trip over into that bailiwick 

 to see. 



What's In a Name. 



A study of the situation under 

 Park Street Church reveals some in- 

 teresting fancies, if not facts. Among 

 the frequenters of the place are rep- 

 resentatives of every nation and 

 tribe, and every grade of civilization 



and uncivilization, from the jungle- 

 wild chimpanzee to the intelligent, 

 enlightened, educated, refined and rec- 

 tified Caucasian, but the Danes, Scotts 

 and Welchmen are the only ones to 

 send suitable titled representatives. 



The different races do better, send- 

 ing Black, Brown. White, Gray and 

 Green. A whole Mann is utilized in 

 some cases, but in others a Head or 

 a Foote is deemed sufficient. Some 

 are Small, but one Chapin question is 

 a Thrasher. In shape some are Long, 

 others wish to Roland are shaped 

 like a Boll. 



Kings and Knights fraternize with 

 Cartwrights, Fisher-men, Millers and 

 other workmen on equal terms; wives 

 and daughters are numerous, but 

 with only one Husband in regular 

 attendance. Among the sons may be 

 named Anderson, Johnson. Nicholson, 

 Wilson. Christenson, Patterson, Nel- 

 son and Hudson. 



They arrive by different methods, 

 many having Rodden. several with 

 Richwagens. A few are Wheelers and 

 others Walkers. 



The military profession presents 

 such names as Washington, Arnold. 

 Montgomery, Ward and Lee; Hanna 

 and Pierce are our only statesmen, 

 while Nelson, Foote, Coburn and 

 Hudson remind us of the glories of 

 the sea. Holmes and Burns are the 

 only poets. All are Haley Fellows 

 well met, being sometimes a little 

 Rough, but mainly use the argu- 

 ment of Love. 



One salesman has a Piercing way, 

 another a Painful one; a third sports 

 and Ayer-y manner; things Simm-er 

 at stall No. 21. and take a Knapp at 

 No. 4. 



A number of the salesmen are good 

 Kidders, one being quite A. Roper, 

 and all sorts of Capers are indulged 

 in to Duly impress a customer or De- 

 lay another's sale. I. Dana who han- 

 dles the roses at stall No. 115, but 

 there is a Man-ter do it. 



The customer is confronted with a 

 Derringer at one stall; another Dins- 

 more than the rest, and another ex- 

 pects the biggest Fee. If anyone 

 needs more than one stall one Wood 

 think Elliott to have two. 



We had both Snow and Frost, Sum- 

 mer and Winter, until about a year 

 ago. and can still boast a Lake which 

 is not surrounded by land and is not 

 necessarily always filled with water. 

 We are devoid of Brooks, Ponds and 

 Rivers, But I may as well write 

 again Astell you all at this time, so 

 the Lassman I will mention is the 

 salesman at stall No. 66. B. T. 



IF YOU have any surplus stock to 

 offer to the trade remember that you 

 can sell it most quickly and cheaply 

 through an offer in the Review's Clas- 

 sified Plant Advs.
