 the trade wants. 



Among other varieties of carnations 

 which N. J. Kruchten grows in his 

 houses at 5308 North Western avenue, 

 is the Aviator, with which he is having 

 good success and of which he thinks 

 highly. 



Eobert Newcomb, of the American 

 Bulb Co., has returned from a trip 

 south. He says he found florists doing 

 an excellent business all along the 

 route, nearly all commenting on the 

 need for higher prices, but each afraid 

 to be the first to ask them. Mr. New- 

 comb believes those who retail should 

 start the upward movement now and not 

 wait for a further rise in costs. 



At the houses of Wietor Bros., mums 

 and pompons are at the height of their 

 season. Quite a number of pompons 

 were disbudded one to a stem this year, 

 including Golden Climax, Buckingham, 

 Emile, Mary Richardson, etc. This is 

 the first year that Wietor Bros, have 

 grown pompons this way and they are 

 expectant as to how they will be re- 

 ceived by the trade. A new pompon has 

 also been originated. It is a cross with 

 Emile and is of a wine color. It has 

 not yet been registered. 



J. F. Kidwell Co., 3530 Michigan 

 avenue, has put a new light delivery 

 car on the street. 



Pyfer & Olsem, Wilmette, have re- 

 ceived a large shipment of azaleas, ken- 

 tias and araucarias from Belgium. The 

 stock arrived in good condition. 



In the lobby of the Willoughby build- 

 ing, corner of Michigan avenue and 

 Madison street, Joseph A. and Mary J. 

 Wittmer are building up a nice trade. 

 They have had years of experience in 

 greenhouse work in Indiana and opened 

 in Chicago about two months ago. 



Emil Eeichling is confident Peter 

 Rcinberg will have an exceptionally 

 large crop of roses for Christmas. He 

 has many houses pinched and coming 

 on in fine shape for the holiday crop. 

 At the carnation range everything is in 

 full swing and a large crop is being 

 cut. 



W. J. Keimel believes in plenty of 

 water, be it for man, beast, automobile 

 or rose plant. They are indefatigable 

 users of the hose nt Eliiiliurst and wash

E. F. Winterson is planning to build 

 a residence on his new property at 

 Highland Park next summer. 



Ray Williams, for thirteen years gen- 

 eral superintendent of the fertilizer fac- 

 tories of Swift & Co., has become a 

 stockholder in the Chicago Feed & Fer- 

 tilizer Co. and is in charge of its fac- 

 tory at Osborn, Ind. The business of 

 the company has increased to such an 

 extent that a larger output has become 

 necessary and the company soon will 

 spend about $150,000 in the erection of 

 a new factory, which it is intended will 

 be one of the most modern in the coun- 

 try. A location has not yet been de- 

 cided on. H. E. Humiston is traveling 

 in the east in the interests of the com- 



pany. He has spent over twenty-five 

 years under glass. 



One of the largest and finest refriger- 

 ators ever built in this country will be 

 installed next week in the new quar- 

 ters of the Geo. Wittbold Co., on Buck- 

 ingham place, which will be opened to 

 the public within the next two weeks. 

 The refrigerator is of quarter-sawed 

 oak, and will be finished in the artistic 

 mission style. It was made by Buch- 

 binder Bros. 



John Poehlmann, of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., spent November 4 and 5 at Culver, 

 Ind., visiting the military academy of 

 which he is a graduate. The special 

 object of his visit was in reference to 

 the academy alumni club movement 

 which he is heading. Mr. Poehlmann 

 was accompanied by his mother and
