CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Severe Storm. 



A very severe rain storin, accom- 

 panied by a wind that was little short 

 of a cyclone, passed through Chicago 

 early Monday morning, Sept. IS, and 

 did considerable damage. The only 

 wonder is that more florists were not 

 heavy losers, but the path of the 

 storm was from the northwest to the 

 southeast and fortunately the losers 

 were few in number. Peter Reinberg 

 lost heavily and at this writing no ac- 

 curate estimate can be given, but it is 

 safe to say that several houses will 

 have to be rebuilt and that glass is 

 broken over the entire plant. At 

 George Reinberg's one section of 

 houses was torn down by the wind 

 and the stock destroyed by the falling 

 glass, while every house will need to 

 have more or less repair. The Schaef- 

 fer place, six large houses just north 

 of the Reinbergs, which is rented by 

 Charles Handel, is a complete loss. 

 All the houses are down and the stock 

 ruined. This place was directly in the 

 line of the storm and received its full 

 force. The trees all over the city 

 were damaged, many broken down or 

 torn up by the roots. In places hail 

 fell, and outdoor stock is now consid- 

 ered out of the question for this sea- 

 son. Prank Beu's place was close to 

 the path of the storm but fortunately 

 escaped. A barn came sailing by but 

 considerately alighted on some vacant 

 ground instead of on the glass. The 

 Chicago Carnation Co.'s plant at Jo- 

 liet was uninjured by the severe 

 storm of Monday morning. The gov- 

 ernment recorded six inches of rain- 

 fall. The aster plants were all down 

 and Mr. Pyfer is rejoicing that his 

 carnation plants are far ahead of the 

 season.

WASHINGTON NOTES. 



Earl Barlow, with Z. D. Blackistone, 

 has returned from a six weeks' visit 

 to his home town, Newport, R. I. 



Mrs. McCabe, wife of Mr. M. J. Mc- 

 Cabe of the Centre Market, is spend- 

 ing some time in New York and other 

 cities adjacent thereto. 



Mrs. Schattmier, wife of Mr. J. G. 

 Schattmier, with Z. D. Blackistone, has 

 left for an extended visit to her old 

 home in Newark, N. J. 



Miss Louise Daugherty, bookkeeper 

 at the store of George C. Shaffer, has 

 returned from her vacation which she 

 spent in New York state. 



J. M. Hammer & Son are refitting 

 their houses at Second and Florida 

 avenue, N. E. They are placing new 

 roofs on three of their seven houses. 



J. C. Powell is spending a two 

 weeks' vacation at Atlantic City, while 

 Miss Grace Powers is whiling away a 

 little time at Richmond, Va. Both are 

 employed at the F Street store of F. 

 H. Kramer. 



Fred Gust, well known to the trade, 

 is about to sever his connection with 

 the Washington Florists' Co. to ac- 

 cept a position with the Fernery at 

 Seattle, Wash. The best wishes of the 

 trade accompany Mr. Gust. 



W. E. McKissick, of the S. S. Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co., made one of his 

 regular trips among the Maryland 

 growers. He reports that Maryland 

 stock is coming along in fine shape, 

 roses and carnations being very good. 



F. H. Kramer has some very fine 

 long-stem Richmonds from three- 

 year-old bushes. They are really re- 

 markable and when the season is over 

 the plants will be given a fourth 

 chance in the hope of another season's 

 success. 



F. H. Kramer reports finding it dif- 

 ficult to have the large smokestack at 

 his plant in Anacostia kept in proper 

 repair, it being difficult to get men 

 to go up to such a distance. He is, 

 therefore, replacing the iron stack 

 with one of brick. 



George Augle, manager of the Phil- 

 adelphia Cut Flower Co., Philadelphia. 

 Pa., spent his vacation in this city, as 

 did also William Dunning, another 

 Quakerite, manager of the Julius 

 Wolff store. Mr. Dunning was accom- 

 panied by his family. 



The Brookland Brotherhood held its 

 annual horticultural show in the Lord 

 Memorial Hall of the Brookland Bap- 

 tist Church, Twelfth and Newton 

 streets, on September 19 and 20. 



Prizes were awarded for the best cut 

 llowers, potted plants, etc. 



The Washington Florists' Club are 

 in receipt of an invitation from R. A. 

 Vincent, chairman, to attend the fifth 

 annual dahlia and flower show, Sep- 

 tember 26 to 29, and many of the 

 members will, no doubt, accept this 

 invitation as in the past, when good- 

 sized delegations of Washingtonians 

 have made the trip. 



W. F. Gude has been appointed 

 grand marshal of the escort in the 

 Veiled Prophets' parade, September 26.

 Harrisburg, Pa. 



C. C. Sanders left Monday for a 

 week's stay at West Baden Springs. 



Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Windier are ex- 

 pected home this week from their

C. Young & Sons Co. will build a

 adjoining their greenhouse plant. The 

 store is to have a 30-foot front and a 

 35-foot show house on each end, mak- 

 ing it 100 feet long. 



It is not regarded as quite certain 

 that there will be a fall flower show 

 by the St. Louis Horticultural Society. 

 The meeting of the executive commit- 

 tee next week will decide for the pres- 

 ent. The board is divided on the ques- 

 tion. 



The greenhouses of James L. Shields 

 at 7227 Florissant avenue, near the 

 Bellefontaine Cemetery, were damaged 

 $4000 by the wind Friday night. Last 

 spring nearly every glass in the green- 

 houses was broken in the hailstorm 

 which damaged much St. Louis prop- 

 erty. Shields' loss at that time was 

 several thousand dollars.

 Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, Pa.;
