THAT'S ONE REASON why the Bayersdorfer & Co. Exhibit at Rochestei caustd so much inttrest 

 and induced so many heavy orders from the sagacious florists who go to conventions. 



NEXT TO QUALITY COMES PRICE. Buying direct from first hands, under personal super, 

 vision, gives us the advantage over all others on imported goods and our facilities for manulacturirg in quan- 

 tity make us impregnable when it comes to home made goods. 



WE OPEN THE SEASON with the finest stock of Florists' Supplies ever offered. The goods are 

 all fresh and up to date and the novelties have selling merit. 



Send to us for Fall List. You can't beat it for variety and price.

CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Trade Items. 



Hoerber Bros, ai-e enameling the in- 

 terior of their establishment pure 

 white in readiness for the fall season. 



C. A. Samuelson, of 21st and Michi- 

 gan avenue, has purchased a touring 

 ear with removable top, which will be 

 used for an auto-delivery for his store. 



John Kruchten, who has been look- 

 ing over the greenhouse establish- 

 ments in the surrounding country, re- 

 ports chrysanthemums are in excellent 

 condition and apparently the supply 

 will be large. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. of Joliet, 

 111., Is making arrangements to handle 

 its flowers at wholesale in Chicago 

 The place has not been deflnitely fixed 

 upon at this writing. The office may 

 also be in Chicago. 



The A. E. Hunt Co., of Evanston, 

 think they have broken the record for 

 growing sweet peas. They have had 

 these flowers in the market eleven and 

 one-half months out of the past year, 

 and are cutting some fine ones now. 



A small show window in blue gen- 

 tians was seen at Bohanan's. Small 

 bouquets were used in front and a 

 large basket with blue ribbon filled 

 with the flowers was in the back- 

 ground. The effect was dainty in the 

 extreme. 



The Radlein Basket Co. have just 

 received a new stock of baskets and

McCray Refrie:erator Co., 



153 Lake Street, Kendallville, Ind. 



samples from their house in Germany. 

 Many lines are of especial value to the 

 florists in making up their stock for 

 the holidays. A new catalog is just 

 out and will be sent for the asking. 



The funeral of Geo. Wittbold, whose 

 death we chronicled last week, was 

 very largely attended September 21st, 

 both by friends inside and outside of 

 the trade. K special detail of police 

 was required to handle the crowd. The 

 deep respect in which the deceased was 

 held was evident from the attendance 

 of all the old-time florists in Chicago. 



J. O. Friedman is showing a beauti- 

 ful autumn window this week. The 

 floor is in autumn leaves and the vases 

 contain blue wild flowers for a back- 

 ground, while a show plant of red and 

 yellow celosia respectively supply the 

 color to the ends of the large window. 

 The opening of the new store is still 

 delayed, but all will soon be in readi- 

 ness with Wni. Graff in charge. 



Clifford Primer attended the conven- 

 tion of the Greenhouse Vegetable 

 Growers' and Market Gardeners', at 

 Grand Rapids this week, with a line 

 of supplies for the E. H. Hunt Co. 

 The Association has a vei-y interest- 

 ing program covering three days, Sept. 

 27-28-29, and a trade exhibit will be an 

 attractive feature. Grand Rapids is a 

 very live town and a great center for 

 growing vegetables under glass. 



Some fears were entertained for the 

 quality of the imported bulbs this year, 

 but in an interview Mr. Louis Winter- 

 son expressed himself as of the opin- 

 ion that they are fully up to the aver- 

 age unless it might be the Chinese 

 bulbs. Hyacinths, tulips and narcissus 

 are very good. The arrival of French 

 bulbs was delayed by the strike of the 

 dock hands in France, but the bulbs 

 do not appear the worse for it. The 

 Dutch bulbs being a little earlier than 

 usual and the French ones later, they 

 came in at about the same time. 

 Personal. 

 Frank Ayres has returned from his 

 five weeks in the Canadian woods. 



Wm. Wolff, of A. Lange's, will act as 

 decorator for his brother George's wed- 

 ding, October ]st. The house will be 

 done in oak leaves and pink roses with 

 lily of the valley and white roses for 

 the bride 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry Klunder of Pitts- 

 burgh, Pa., have the sympathy of the 

 trade in the death of their daughter 

 last week, and who was brought to 

 Chicago for interment. Mr. Klunder 

 was for many years in the retail busi- 

 ness in Chicago and has many friends 

 here. 



Arthur Hammer of Symth's started 

 on the 20th for ten days at his old 

 home in Washington, D. C, -where his 

 father is a well-known florist. Arthur 

 is an ambitious young man and will 

 graduate this year from a medical 

 school where all his spare time has 

 been spent for the past three years.
