CHICAGO NOTES. 



J. Muir is now iu his loop store, 

 with an attractive window display. 



R. J. Haight. secretary of the Horti- 

 cultural Society of Chicago, is leav- 

 ing for California. 



Some of the retail florists are com- 

 ing out with page advertisements in 

 the local newspapers. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. had a 

 large cut of their new carnation, Peer- 

 less Pink, for the Christmas trade, 

 and the flowers certainly showed up 

 well. 



Nothing new was offered this year. 

 Supply houses are reporting sold out. 

 Even conservative estimates place the 

 quantity of ruscus handled in Chi- 

 cago this year as twenty-five tons. 



One of Prank Oechslin's large auto 

 trucks was disabled for a part of the 

 holiday delivery, in collision with a 

 street car and It was fortunate that 

 the results were not more serious. As 

 it was the rear of the truck only was 

 smashed and a small portion of the 

 load of plants demolished. 



It is worthy of note that the express 

 companies in Chicago are collecting 

 for out-of-town shipments, an average 

 of 20 loads of ruscus and other dried 

 and prepared goods daily for holiday 

 use. It is impossible to believe that 

 this is not cutting into the sales of the 

 living flowers and plants. 



One hundred and twelve thousand 

 persons visited the chrysanthemum 

 show held at the Garfield Park con- 

 servatory from Nov. 9 to 30 this year. 

 This is twice the attendance of last 

 year. The commissioners of the West 

 Park board will hold a mid-winter ex- 

 hibit in the Garfield Park conserva- 

 tory from Dec. 21 to Jan. 4. 



The municipal Christmas tree, erect- 

 ed by the Art Institute for the poor 

 children of Chicago, is given in mem- 

 ory of the late Capt. Schuneman, 

 known as the Christmas tree man, who 

 went down with his cargo of trees last 

 year. The tree is 35 feet high, mount- 

 ed on a 40 foot base and Illumined 

 with electric lights. Mrs. Schuneman 

 and her daughter are carrying on the 

 business and selling Christmas trees 

 at the usual place on Clark street.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Dennis T. Conno r is "down and 

 out," that is to say, he is down to the 

 parlor and out of bed. We may there- 

 fore hope to see his genial face in our 

 midst again very soon. 



Edwin Lonsdale writes from Pasa 

 Robla, Cal., where he has been taking 

 the waters, that his health is much 

 improved and he expects to be back 

 on the Burpee farms at Lompoc again 

 very soon. He has had a tough time 

 of it all summer. 



Visitor: J. E. Keller, representing 

 William Rennie, Toronto, Canada.
