ton street. Pompons and baskets are 

 also selling fast. Mr. Wienhoeber says 

 that business has increased markedly 

 since his Washin^on street entrance 

 was finished. 



The Alpha Floral Co., Wabash ave- 

 nue and Adams street, is selling great 

 numbers of the Good Fairy statues 

 originated by Jesse McCutcheon Ra- 

 leigh, according to Andrew Cronis. 

 This exceptionally large sale is due 

 in great measure to a most artistically 

 arranged window in which these statues 

 are displayed almost exclusively. So 

 attractive did this window display 

 prove that Mrs. Raleigh noted it in 

 passing and wrote a personal letter of 

 approbation and appreciation to Mr. 

 Cronis, in which she enclosed a picture 

 she ha!d taken of it. 



A. Miller, president of the American 

 Bulb Co., has returned from a highly 

 successful trip to Detroit and vicinity. 

 The company now has been in business 

 three months and Secretary Koehler 

 says the progress to date is even greater 

 than had been expected. 



There may be better dark pink car- 

 nations than Mrs. C. "W. Ward, and 

 there may be growers who do it better 

 than Alois Frey, but the stock in the 

 twenty benches in his big new Lord & 

 Burnham house at Crown Point leaves 

 little to be desired. 



While experimenting with the prepa- 

 ration of cat-tails for use in Christmas 

 display baskets, D. S. Musser, of luiller 

 & Musser, discovered a means where- 

 by the floss in the flower of the plant 

 is rendered tenacious, so as to enable it 

 to be shaken out in great silky masses, 

 still adhering, however, to the flower.

This malces an attractive novelty. 

 Aside from this, Mr. Musser also pre- 

 pares cat-tails and various greens in 

 many colors, which make new and novel 

 display effects. 



Frank Felke sends word that his 

 friend and neighbor, Paul Wanzig, of 

 Gross Point, suffered a fire loss of $800 

 in his shed October 30. Mr. Wanzig is 

 a carnation grower. 



Bassett & Washburn have received 

 the first carload of materials which are 

 to go into the construction of seven 

 new houses to be built at Greggs, HI. 

 These houses are to be 28x300 feet and 

 will be used for carnations exclusively. 

 C. L. Washburn says that they intend 

 to plant early and grow all of the stock 

 indoors. The houses are expected to be 

 completed by spring. 



The Bohannon Floral Co., 57 East 

 Monroe street, is making orchids and 

 mums the features of a most attractive 



window display. That L. R. Bohannon 

 is still as busy as ever boosting the 

 F. T. D. is proved by two large placards 

 which find place in the window. The 

 company will formally open the new, 

 large store in the buildijig on the cor- 

 ner of Michigan avenue and Monroe 

 street at the end of the week. 



P. L. McKee, of the American Green- 

 house Manufacturing Co., reports that 

 the company has contracted for the con- 

 struction of three new steel frame 

 houses for R. P. Atwell, Fort Dodge, 

 la. These houses are to be 35x200 feet, 

 two to be used for carnations and one 

 for roses. Heat will be furnished by a 

 vacuum system. A brick service build- 

 ing 36x75 feet is also to be built. The 

 total cost of the plant will be about 

 $30,000. Work will be commenced No- 

 vember 16.
