Chicago judges of the C. S. A. met 

 October 28, to pass on new varieties of 

 mums and pompons. The committee 

 consists of N. J. Wietor, chairman; 

 George Asmus and Thomas W. Head 

 and meetings are to be held each Sat- 

 urday during the season at the store of 

 Wietor Bros. One of the varieties Oc» 

 tober 28 came from C. C. Pollworth Co., 

 Milwaukee, a yeUow that would fill a 

 place as an early Bonnaifon, but the 

 blooms had suffered in transit. 



John Mangel is thinking out many 

 novel attractions for the display win- 

 dow of his Palmer House store. His 

 present display features a number of 

 Chinese Mandarin ducks, which are 

 proving highly attractive. A suitable 

 setting for these fowl is created by a 

 stream of water, crossed by a bridge 

 and representing a river flowing be- 

 tween its banks, which winds its way 

 from one side of the window to the 

 other. The background of the window 

 display is composed of roses, mums, or- 



chids, etc. Aside from this, Mr. Mangel 

 also has a pair of golden and silver 

 pheasants in a cage in his conservatory 

 at the rear of the store. 



According to Arnold Eingier, of the 

 W. W, Barnard Co., neither bouquet 

 green nor fancy holly will be over- 

 abundant this year. 



John Zeeh has erected a brick build- 

 ing adjoining his greenhouses at the 

 corner of Madison street and Grove 

 avenue, in Oak Park, which he will oc- 

 cupy as a flower store. It is equipped 

 with mosaic floors, has a large Buch- 

 binder refrigerator and is first-class in 

 every respect. He expects to open it 

 this week. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton 

 Grove, recently received eight carloads 

 of pecky cypress lumber for bench 

 material. A large importation of 

 French metal wreaths has arrived and 

 advice has been received that the 

 largest of the several orders for green 

 and red frieze from Japan is on 

 the way. Pre-holiday business is now 

 in full swing with the supply depart- 



ment, according to T. E. Waters. A 

 specially prepared ruscus in yellow and 

 red for Thanksgiving is proving a good 

 seller. 



An interesting novelty is the stock 

 of Japanese cypresses recently received 

 from Tokyo, Japan, by Percy Jones, 

 Inc. These dwarf evergreens are of 

 slow growth, never attaining a height 

 of more than a few feet, so that a tree 

 15 years old is but about eighteen 

 inches tall. They are trained upward 

 in a spiral manner, thus presenting a 

 most unique appearance. The method 

 of pricing these trees is also out of the 

 ordinary, as the price is in proportion 

 to the age of the tree and. not to its de- 

 velopment or shape. Another novelty 

 received from the same source is a lot 

 of round, silk-embroidered, candy boxes. 

 These boxes are about one foot in diam- 

 eter and contain seven porcelain trays 

 to receive the candy. They sell at the 

 unusual figure of $15 each. 



Debutante parties are more than 

 keeping George Wienhoeber busy in his 

 store on Wabash avenue and Washing-
