gether like rodents in the Paris sewers, 

 but Danes are few and far between. So 

 I steered Mr. Peterson to Eggertville, 

 and you should have seen the mutual 

 gladness of countrymen meeting. "lUe- 

 go skee ratskey koo vum," which meant 

 "glad to see you," said both of them. 

 Mr. Peterson "had scarcely entered the 

 door and the proprietor had not been 

 found when Mr. P. said, looking at sucB 

 a simple thing as some stock geraniums, 

 lobelias and ageratums, "This man is a 

 gardener, all right." And so it is you 

 can tell by the simplest thing whether 

 the man who is running the place is a 

 gardener or an ex-barber or broken down 

 real-estate man. 



It was very interesting to find out 

 that these worthy Scandinavians had 

 both worked in the same village and in the 

 absence of a trolley ear had both often 

 walked the road to Copenhagen. Sorry 

 I can't give you more of the dialogue, 

 but Mr. C. exclaimed with animation: 

 "On rady thar wodo skee skew housy 

 was goody vody drunkee," which Mr. Pe- 

 terson afterwards told me was a house 

 that sold good fire water, and both re- 

 membered it. It was a most pleasant 

 hour or two. After admiring Mr. Chris- 

 tensen's very fine benches of carnations 

 and a splendid bench of mignonette we 

 parted, both of the Danes claiming de- 

 scent from Hamlet and I declaring that 

 Shakespeare was a Scotchman.

JOLIET, ILL. 



The first fall flower show held in this 

 city was given last week in a large tent 

 in a central location. The display was 

 excellent, all the local florists being rep- 

 resented, and several from Chicago and 

 other points. The show was so popular 

 with the public that on Saturday it was 

 decided to keep it open over Sunday. 

 A generous number of prizes were 

 awarded. 



Much enthusiasm was developed and 

 it is believed that a much larger show 

 will be given next year. The exhibition 

 was under the auspices of the Joliet 

 Improvement Association, in which Mr. 

 F. S. Allen is a leading spirit.

Owing to a large number of recep- 

 tions held during the past two weeks, 

 we can say business has been really 

 good. Wliile the weather has not been 

 all that it should be, it has interfered 

 very little with the sale of mums, which 

 are the flowers mostly in demand. 



Everyone in this vicinity has done 

 very well with cut mums. As for the 

 pot plants, the story of the last two 

 years will suflice; that is. Peterson Bros, 

 "have the best and only pot mums in 

 town. 



Prices at retail are about as follows: 

 Mums — Small, 75 cents to $1 ; medium, 

 $1.50 to $2.50; large, $3 to $4 per 

 dozen. Some fine Batons bring $5. 

 Beauties range from $1.50 to $5 per 

 dozen; Meteors, 75 oents to $1.50; 

 Maids, 75 cents to $1.25; Golden Gates,
