ity, however, is much better than it 

 has been for some time. 



With the rapidly approaching demise 

 of asters, gladioli and their ilk, carna- 

 tions are slowly edging their way to 

 the front again. Of course they still 

 are inclined to be short, both in st)||i 

 and in supply; but in both they are 

 showing marked improvement, and 

 quality of flower really is good. It is 

 almost needless to saji'that valley is 

 scarce. So, too, are cattleyas. As for 

 Easter lilies, they are scarce enough to 

 clear readily. Auratums are practically 

 oflP the market and rubrums are far 

 from plentiful. Golden Glow still com- 

 poses the bulk of chrysanthemum re- 

 ceipts, though a few of Smith's Ad- 

 vance are reaching the market. The 

 demand for this autumn favorite in- 

 creases as the days grow shorter. There 

 is now no diflSculty experienced in dis- 

 posing of all that are received. 



Greens alone have the unique distinc- 

 tion of being the one item in sufficient 

 supply to meet all requirements. 



Frauenfelder's Annex. 



Quietly, and with as little show as 

 possible, C. Frauenfelder, 3343 West 

 Madison street, has been making some 

 interesting changes. The large store 

 directly to the west of and connected 

 with the main store, which has hither- 

 to been tised as a workroom, is being 

 remodeled throughout and will be 

 opened October 1 as a show and dis- 

 play room. The glass front of this an- 

 nex, which is more than twenty feet in 

 width, will be occupied by a concrete 

 basin, six inches deep and fifteen feet 

 from front to back. This will be de- 

 voted to a display of palms, ferns and 

 other plants and, in appropriate sea- 

 sons, it will be flooded and filled with 

 aquatics. Being separated from the 

 main store, this annex can be kept at

We offer^Mvers that stand inspection, but do not need it. 



Our Mums, Beauties, Roses, Carnations and other stock can be counted

 ting of a wonderful display of cut flow- 

 ers in vases. In the rear of the room 

 are two refrigerators. One, not yet 

 completed, is 10x16 feet and the other 

 is slightly smaller. The contract has 

 already been let for an ice machine, 

 which will be installed early next 

 spring. 



Not content with this, Mr. Frauen- 

 felder has ordered a new White auto 

 delivery ear. It is now in the paint 



shop receiving a coat of dark green, 

 but a few days will see it on the street. 



Various Notes. 



It is John Michelsen's custom to 

 spend a week in early September look- 

 ing over the situation east of Chicago, 

 including a visit to the violet growing 

 district along the Hudson. He returned 

 September 17, full of good cheer. He 

 says that the eastern violets will be a 

 little late this year, but that otherwise
