CHICAGO. 



Our young men in the trade have 

 responded to the call of Uncle Sam 

 till there is not a retail or wholesale 

 store where they are not missed from 

 their accustomed places. Among the 

 growers and in the allied trades the 

 same condition exists and no one can 

 say there is any inclination to shirk 

 or any lack of patriotism among those 

 connected with the trade in Chicago 

 and vicinity. All honor to the boys. 



Geo. Keller and his sons, Steve and 

 William Keller, have incorporated 

 with a capital stock of 110,000 for the 

 manufacture of red pots at 2614-22 

 Herndon street. Mr. Keller started 

 this industry many years ago on the 

 north side, and the incorporation adds 

 the younger son, William, to the firm, 

 which was formerly Geo. Keller & Son, 

 but is now Keller Manufacturing Co. 

 As there is no red clay in Chicago it 

 has to be shipped in. 



Windows are now bright with bloom- 

 ing plants. Pot plants of chrysanthe- 

 mums are in their prime and sell 

 readily. Standard varieties are in full 

 swing with the exception of the cap 

 varieties which are about gone. Many 

 fine specimen cyclamen well covered 

 with blooms are seen in the market, 

 the new strains coming in fine and 

 bearing blooms of fine shape, colored 

 like beautiful orchids. In Christmas 

 peppers there are also different 

 strains, much in demand where a mod- 

 erate priced plant is needed.

Horace Head and Mr. A. Beyers
