iiig ttrfe-'hoUBea insidtf an4 out, as well 

 as carrying on the usual business of 

 planting and the unusual business of 

 putting a prize-winning cari^tion, the 

 Tfaenanthos, on the market, ^hey now 

 have 15,000 of this variety benched an55 

 they are in excellent condition. Oveir- 

 10,000 cyclamens are also looking fresh 

 in spite of the recent heat. The next 

 thing on the program is the laying of 

 400 feet of cement walk along the south 

 end of the range. This, however, will 

 be but a trifle for these hustlers. 



Not until the hazy days of autumn 

 do the woods and fields hold enough at- 

 tractions for N. J. Wietor, of Wietor 

 Bros., to take him from the city for 

 more than a day or two. When every- 

 one else has returned, he may take a 

 real outing. 



Miss Sadie Palinsky, one of the 

 proprietors of the W. L, Palinsky estab- 

 lishment, 2865 Palmer avenue, has 

 gone to Oquawka, 111., for a month's 

 rest. 



There were simultaneous arrivals of 

 lily bulbs from Formosa and Paper 

 Whites and Eomans from France at 

 Winterson's Seed Store, August 14. 



With as little noise as possible, John 

 Kruchten will slip into the city this 

 week end and give the market a once- 

 over and then motor back to Sister 

 Lakes, Mich., for another outing. In 

 his absence Henry Kruchten is manag- 

 ing affairs. 



The committee in charge of arrange- 

 ments for the convention of the Vege- 

 table Gardeners ' Association of America 

 is holding weekly meetings on Thurs- 

 day evenings at the Planters hotel. 

 James B. Foley is secretary. The dates 

 set for the convention are September 

 26 to 29. 



For the next two weeks H. B. Ken- 

 nicott, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., will 

 have his hands fully occupied, as Ernest 

 Frank, the head bookkeeper, has gone 

 to Fruitvale, Mich., for a vacation. 



Report comes from the region of 

 Sturgeon Bay, Wis., that Miss O. A. 

 Tonner is indulging herself in almost 

 every known form of summer outdoor 

 recreation. Next week she expects to 

 return to the city and give her sister, 

 Anna Tonner, a chance at the open 

 country. Miss L. A. Tonner says that 

 the scarcity of good rose stock has re- 

 sulted in a particularly brisk demand 

 for garden flowers. 



Harry Manheim, of the Hoerber Bros. 

 sales department, has been singularly 

 unfortunate during his vacation period, 

 which began last week. While on his 

 way home early in the week he was 

 struck by a street car arid his head 

 severely cut and bruised. And as 

 though this were not enough, within 

 the same week his little boy was run 

 over by an automobile, breaking a leg, 

 but, most fortunately, not otherwise in- 

 juring him. Mr. Manheim has the 

 sympathy of his many friends in the 

 trade. 



The cool weather has brought J. 

 Friedl and his wife, 3538 West Twenty- 

 sixth street, back to the city. In their 

 absence, Joe Papacek operated the 

 store. 



Speaking of summer roses, Paul 

 Klingsporn, manager of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association, says Rus- 

 sell is undoubtedly the best hot 

 weather rose ever introduced into com- 

 merce. With regard to the much mooted 

 question as to whether Ophelia is a 

 successful summer rose or not, he says 

 that though it may pop open, as so
