 trances; The office, too, has come in for 

 its share of remodeling. 



The marriage of Alex Clifford, of 

 Winnetka, and Miss Anderson, formerly 

 in the city office of the Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., was celebrated September 16. 



With the return of keen weather the 

 Richmond rose will comfe 'ftito its owii 

 again, says Felix Keichlingj of Peter 

 Eeinberg's. In his opinion it is the 

 best winter rose ever introduced. 



An accurate schedule of the move- 

 ments of George Asmus would prove an 

 interesting study in the art of rapid 

 transportation and lightning changes. 

 But recently returned from the south- 

 west, September 14 found him in Mil- 

 waukee and the following day in Mor- 

 ton Grove. , **'^ 



George Kaspar, 4005 West Twenty-^ 

 sixth street, aaodt agreeably surprised 

 his parents with a party, September 16, 

 in celebration of their silver wedding. 



Another killing frost and, in the 

 opinion of Charles Erne, of Erne & 

 Klingel, the Chicago market will expe- 

 rience a shortage the like of which it 

 has not factd in many months. 



There is nothing like conserving your 

 supply of good things. Miss Harper, of 

 Bassett & Washburn', considers a vaca- 

 tion a good thing, so she reserved a 

 part of it for the cool days. She is 

 enjoying it now. 



The arrival of candidum lily bulbs 

 from the north of France is reported by 

 Winterson's Seed Store. 



A Miller, president of the American 

 Bulb Co., returned September 18 from 

 a swing around the circle from Detroit 

 to Cincinnati. Samuel Seligman, who 

 has charge of the accessories depart- 

 ment, also is in town again and says 

 there is so much to do here it is hard 

 to get time for the road. Treasurer 

 Albert Koehler is busy; his ledger al- 

 ready is becoming quite obese, although 

 the concern has been in business less 

 than two months. 



Sidney Buchbinder reports that cool 

 weather has brought a rush of business 

 and a demand for refrigerators. He 

 reports the sale of five refrigerators 

 within the last week, as follows: 

 Schiller, the Florist, for the West Madi-

Visitors. 



W. D. Eraser, representing the* Cot- 

 tage Gardens Nurseries, Eureka, Cal., 

 has been in town several days, visiting 

 growers and sizing up the possibilities 

 here for the sale of the company's 

 specialties. The Cottage Gardens Nur- 

 series is C. W. Ward 's new project. He 

 will have a large quantity of Eureka- 

 grown Dutch bulbs and Holland and 

 Belgian plants ready for the market 

 next year. 



If Miss V. M. Fawcett, of Melbourne, 

 Australia, can be accepted as an exam- 

 ple of the florists of that country, the 



trade will have to reckon big with 

 colonial craftsmen in the near future. 

 To get acquainted with the American 

 market, she sailed the Pacific and has 

 spent three months in this country 

 studying trade methods, the market and 

 our wonderful supply factories. She 

 took her departure from Chicago the 

 early part of this week and expects to 

 arrive in Australia by the middle of 

 October.

 Cleveland Florists' Exchange, Cleve- 

 land, O., is a big game hunter and is 

 on his way home from a glorious good 

 time in the wilds of Wyoming. Nor is

 bagging elk, deer and other denizens 

 of the field and forest too numerous to 

 mention. He was accompanied by his 

 family and stopped in Chicago long 

 enough to look around the market. 



One of the week's visitors was Mrs.
