There was little change in the rose 

 market except in American Beauty, of 

 which there were quite a few nice 

 flowers coming in. While Killarneys 

 were on the scarce side and more of 

 these could have been used. Dahlias 

 are in evidence in considerable quan- 

 tity, and some nice yellow chrysanthe- 

 mums of the Golden Glow variety are 

 to be seen. 



CHICAGO. 



The 300 miles or so which lie be- 

 tween Chicago and Detroit afford an 

 ideal two days' auto trip which was 

 taken advantage of by a party of six, 

 who with their cars filled, left at 9 a. 

 m., Sunday. The party consisted of 

 Paul Klingsporn, manager of the Chi- 

 cago Flower Growers' Assn., Geo. Ball, 

 Glen Ellyn; Wm. Kyle. Fred Stielow. 

 Niles Center, Rudolph Ellsworth and 

 Chas. McCauley. Among those who 

 went by auto individually were Allie 

 Zeck, Pres. of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club; P. J. Foley, Pres. of the Foley 

 Greenhouse Manuf. Co.; Guy French, 

 E. C. Amling, H. N. Bruns. 



In the death of Arnold Ringier the 

 Chicago trade lost a man prominent 

 for over a quarter of a century in the 

 seed trade. He was associated with 



W. W. Barnard as a salesman for 27 

 years and through his ability in that 

 line and his aptitude for making and 

 keeping friends he became one of the 

 best known men in the middle west. 



Feeding the soil is one of the big 

 topics of the day. with all that the soil 

 produces selling readily at high prices. 

 The fertilizer dealers are by no means 

 slow in preparing for this demand. A 

 new organization is the Proto-Feed & 

 Guano Co., of 4121 S. La Salle St. Its 

 president is H. E. Humiston, well 

 known to the trade and one of the best 

 horticulturists in the middle west, hav- 

 ing been a private gardener and green- 

 house manager he understands their 

 needs. This company features a spe- 

 cial vine and plant manure also pulver- 

 ized plant manure, for private places 

 and for commercial growers. Mr. 

 Humiston has also had experiences In 

 fertilizer manufacturing. 



The Pulverized Manure Co., 34 Union 

 Stock yards, have supplied the trade 

 with a high quality of pulverized or 

 shredded sheep manure for over twelve 

 years and their Wizard Brand is 

 known all over the country, as of an 

 extra high grade, dried and sterilized 

 in high temperature direct heat that 

 kills weed and grass seeds. Manager 

 Dwight L. Harris is a genial and pro- 

 gressive young business man, always 



ready to talk fertilizers with those 

 who want to know more on the sub- 

 ject of what their soil needs and is in- 

 variably found at his office. 



The Chicago Feed & Fertilizer Co.. 

 was organized six years ago and has 

 grown steadily. With new equipment 

 both quality and production are again 

 raised this year, and their Magic Fer- 

 tilizer has made an enviable reputa- 

 tion with all classes of growers. The 

 manager R. M. Voorhees is an expert 

 in fertilizer and horticultural lines. 

 Analysis of the soil is made at cost so 

 those who are new in the growing line 

 or have taken a new piece of land and 

 are not certain what they need can 

 easily find out and not waste time and 

 money taking chances on what their 

 particular kind of soil needs. 



The Foley Greenhouse Manuf. Co. 

 has recently completed a new range of 

 greenhouses for Frank Oeschlin at his 

 Harlem avenue place. The company 

 is taking in one member of the family 

 after another as they become old 

 enough. Philip, Jr., is now vice-presi- 

 dent, James B., secretary and treas- 

 urer and a daughter, Loretta, is in 

 charge of the down town office. 



Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Foley and P. J., 

 Jr.. crossed Lake Michigan Saturday 

 night and left the following day with 

 thoir auto for Detroit.
