It is reported that J. E. Pollworth, 

 who is known to many in this market, 

 is interviewing growers on the subject 

 of another commission house. 



There are now twenty-six houses, 

 28x300 feet, that run north and south 

 in the Greggs Station range of Bassett 

 & Washburn greenhouses. This winter 

 twenty-six more, running in the same 

 direction and of the same size, will be 

 erected, to be ready for planting early 

 next spring. According to C. L. Wash- 

 burn, houses running north and south 

 are much better for Beauties, Russells 

 and young plants than houses running 

 east and west, as they permit of a more 

 even distribution of sunlight during the 

 winter months. Hence these houses 

 will, of course, be devoted to the varie- 

 ties mentioned. 



"What if the German cyclamen seed 

 doesn't get by the British blockade 

 this season, I should worry," says E. 

 Rober, who has grown a large quantity 

 at his place at Wilmette. Mr. Rober 

 was one of the first to grow the newer 

 varieties in quantity and last season 

 he came to the conclusion that each 

 seed would ripen into a penny, or per- 

 haps two pennies. 



The remodeling and enlarging of the 

 George Wienhoeber store was completed 

 August 25; it now is one of the hand- 

 somest and largest in town. There is 

 an entrance on Monroe street as well 

 as on Wabash avenue and the area is 

 1,500 square feet on the street floor, to 

 say nothing of the large workroom in 

 the basement. The walls are French 

 gray, painted in perfect appearance of 

 dressed stone. Stock should show off 



to excellent advantage with such a 

 background. 



The new rose range of the L. A. 

 Budlong Co., Otto Benthey, foreman, 

 has begun shipping. The cut is han- 

 dled by J. A. Budlong. 



Anton Then will spend the week end 

 and Labor day at Powers Lake, Twin 

 Lakes and Lake Geneva, Wis. He goes 

 as a member of a singing society of 

 which he has been a member since 1876. 

 Miss Josephine Then has returned from 

 a three weeks' visit in St. Joseph, 

 Mich. While away she gained ten 

 pounds. This is sufficient evidence that 

 she has completely recovered from the 

 effects of her severe illness of last 

 spring. 



According to the daily papers, the 

 estate of Levi Z. Leiter has leased to 

 Fred Ronsley, florist, the store at 17
