THAT'S ONE REASON why the Bayersdorfer & Co. Exhibit at Rochester caused so much interest 

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

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

CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Thanksgiving Among the Retailers. 

 Retailers quite generally are pleased 

 with their sales for the Thanksgiving 

 week, and while all consider the busi- 

 ness done to be fully up to the aver- 

 age, many found it far in advance of 

 previous years. Prices ran high for 

 first class stock and medium grades 

 were scarce, a condition not altogether 

 to be desired, but trade was brisk not- 

 withstanding and stares were general- 

 ly kept open throughout the day. — At 

 Harry Rowe's the call was principally 

 tor long Beauties and first class chrys- 

 anthemums. Long Killarneys also 

 were much sought for and sold at a 

 good price. — At Lange's everything 

 that could be called a good flower sold, 

 and the store force was kept on the 

 alert all the week. A large wedding 

 decoration in the Gold Room of the 

 Congress Hotel, on Saturday, was a 

 fitting close for a very busy week. — 

 Pleischman found the week a busy one

and the demand included every vajiety 

 of flower in the marliet. The scarcity 

 of orchids was particularly felt at this 

 store. — Friedman expresses himself as 

 very pessimistic on the question of 

 violets and orchids. The former when 

 home grown cannot be had in suffi- 

 cient quantity to nearly supply the de- 

 mand and those from New York are 

 stale when they reach here. Orchids 

 are not as yet produced in quantity 

 to make them altogether desirable to 

 handle. The customer feels himself 

 imposed upon when the price soars up 

 to two dollars, as it does on special 

 days. Mr. Friedman says the volume 

 of business this Thanksgiving exceed- 

 ed that of any previous one in the 20 

 years he has laeen in business. — At 

 Walter Kreitling's they notice the 

 steady growth in popularity of the 

 pompon chrysanthemums for table use. 

 This made them good sellers for the 

 holiday just past. The smallest yel- 

 low ones were especially in demand 

 and were used with pumpkirs for 

 vases. — Bohannan Floral Co. was popu- 

 lar with the wedding parties and had 

 several decorations for Thanksgiving 

 week. They found the week's sales 

 highly satisfactory. 



Plant Notes. 



The Southern Pacific Railway 1 as an 

 exhibit at the Land Show among the 

 chief attractions of which is the col- 

 lection of plants and cut flowers by 

 the MacRorie-McLaren Co. of San 

 Francisco. 



It is unusual to see so many azaleas 

 in bloom so early in the season. Many 

 of the store windows have the ap- 

 pearance of the holiday season. One 

 of the Chicago growers has several 

 hundred plants in full bloom and has 

 not tried in any way to hurry them, 

 the buds on the Belgium stock matur- 

 ing this season naturally earlier than 

 usual. The stock is mostly of the 

 Simon Mardner variety. 



J. McHutchison, of McHutchisn & 

 Co., New York, spent considerable 

 time calling on the growers last week 

 and seeing that their last stcck was 

 all up to grade. This is a practice 

 much appreciated by his patrols and 

 does much to build up that confidence 

 so necessary to the firm that sells 

 stock far in advance. Milton Moss, of 

 the Huntsville Wholesale Nurseries, 

 arrived Sunday and will call on the 

 trade in behalf of his firm. 



Agents now taking advance orders 

 for azaleas for next year's importation 

 state that stock will be scarce and 



higher in consequence. This very con- 

 dition was predicted in an editorial In 

 HORTICULTURE seveial month ago. 

 Palms and bay tiees are quoted to 

 purchasers for next year at a slightly 

 reduced price and agents report an 

 abundance of this stock. This week 

 practically finishes up the sto:;k of 

 chrysanthemum plants, especially of 

 the large varieties. Quite a number 

 of the late pompons are still to be 

 had and make fine stock for window 

 displays. 



Personal. 

 Our sick: — John Risch, who has been 

 ill with tj-phoid fever, at St. Francis* 

 Hospital, Evanston, for the past five 

 weeks was able to go home Sunday. — 

 Paul Blom is gradually recovering 

 from a severe illness and hopes to be 

 at his store again in a short time. — 

 One old-time florist, Joseph Klimmer, 

 is not getting well as rapidly as his 

 friends desire. Joe is a favorite and 

 is sorely missed.
