village and president and treasurer of

The arrival of the Dutch bulbs is 

 later than ever before, according to 

 James Hancock, right-hand man for 

 Frank Oechslin. Twenty-five cases ar- 

 rived October 14 and notices have been 

 received that the other lots are on the 

 way. Notices also have arrived that 

 the azaleas, or some of them, are en 

 route, but Mr. Oechslin says there is 

 no money in forcing azaleas and he 

 would not regret it if none came to 

 America this season; his reason for 

 handling them is to keep abreast of 

 competition. 



Hoosier Beauty is a rose that did 

 not make an instantaneous success 

 when the local growers tried it, but if 

 Meyer & Dramm Co., Elmhurst, 111., 

 can maintain the pace they have set 

 with it this autumn it will become one 

 of 4he leading roses on this -market. 

 The stock they are cutting this season 

 entitles Hoosier Beauty to be ranked 

 with the leaders. 



The best keeper, as a cut flower, of 

 all the gladioli, according to John 

 Michelsen, is Kunderdi Glory, and C. 

 S. Clausen, gladiolus expert, agrees 

 with him. 



There have been a great many tele- 

 phone calls at the George Wienhoeber 

 store during the last few days, but not 

 all have been orders; quite a few have 

 been congratulations on the arrival of 

 a second daughter in the Wienhoeber 

 home. 



After having been employed there 

 since its opening last spring, Eichard 

 Rolston left the Eagleston Flower 

 Craft Shop on Hyde Park boulevard 

 October 14. This is a new store run 

 by a man without previous experience 

 in the florists' business, but it seems 

 to offer an excellent opportunity to 

 establish a first-class trade in a good 

 section of town that has little competi- 

 tion. 



P. r. Dewinck recently opened a 

 store at 5740 Eidge avenue and is doing 

 nicely. He has been only five years in 

 this country. 



The alterations that have recently 

 been made in the establishment of 

 Charles Grabig, 1843 Irving Park boule- 

 vard, are most interesting to anyone 

 desiring to make the most of a given 

 space. The old refrigerator has been 

 disposed of and a new one installed 

 by the A. L. Eandall Co. The unique 

 thing about it is the fact that the build- 

 ers converted what had at one time 

 been a living room into an icebox. An 

 added advantage of the construction is 

 that the ice chest is filled from the 

 outside. E(^ward Drehman, whj is in 

 charge of the store, has a striking dis- 

 play window, Eed Biding Hood pick- 

 ing flowers while a fierce wolf, made 

 of bark, watches her from a brake of 

 ferns. 



The affairs of the committee that 

 handled the recent convention of the 

 vegetable growers were closed up at 

 a meeting held October 12 at Hotel 

 Planters. Fred Lautenschlager was 

 chairman, James B. Foley secretary, 

 and E. F. Kurowski treasurer. 



Following a few days* stay at West 

 Baden, Ind., Peter Eeinberg and his 

 wife are again in the city. Mr. Rein- 

 berg visited the market October 16. 

 Pompons are being cut in the Eeinberg 

 ranges.
