CHICAGO NOTES. 



The Cleveland florists who visited 

 Chicago the past weeli did some good 

 work for their coming flower show, 

 Nov. 13-15. 



Elegant stock of Milady rose is now 

 seen in the market. This flower is so 

 perfect in form, so rich and velvety in 

 texture, its color such a deep glowing 

 red that when surrounded by its mag- 

 nificent foliage it finds admirers at 

 once. 



The dance given by the Chicago 

 Florists' Club Nov. 6, to the flower 

 show visitors and their friends is re- 

 ported to have been a happy occasion. 

 It was held in the east room of the 

 La Salle Hotel and a large number at- 

 tended. 



It is not hard to understand the in- 

 creasing favor for the home-grown 

 single violets. Their delicious fra- 

 grance when the boxes are opened as 

 compared with that of the eastern 

 ones after their long shipment is 

 strongly in their favor. 



A. T. Pyfer will represent the Chi- 

 cago Carnation Co. with a large ex- 

 hibit of carnations at the Cleveland 

 Show. His collection at the Chicago 

 Show included seven varieties, two not 

 disseminated and did credit to his rep- 

 utation as a "carnationist." 



One of our wholesale salesmen aptly 

 illustrated last week's business as like 

 the lake whose border we touch. One 

 day the waves rode high and carried 

 all before It while the next day it was 

 ualm and scarcely a ripple to stir the 

 calm which settled down on business.

A MODEL ROSE ESTABLISHMENT. 



One of the most progressive of the- 

 rose-growing concerns of greater Bos- 

 ton is the Montrose Greenhouses, of 

 which Eber Holmes is superintendent. 

 Each year sees substantial advances 

 in equipment and a wider sphere of 

 influence. During the past season a 

 herd of forty high-grade cows has been 

 added for the purpose of supplying the 

 indispensable fertilizing materials, and 

 they are housed in a barn with every 

 modern method and device to insure 

 comfort and cleanliness. It is a fine 

 example of what to do and how to do 

 it. Grading has been nearly completed 

 for the erection of another rose house, 

 60x500 ft., which will be completed 

 about the first of the new^ year. All 

 the popular varieties of roses are do- 

 ing well, more especially Mrs. Russel!, 

 which is easily the leader in the local 

 demand. Most of the houses are now 

 equipped with concrete benches.
