Chrysanthemums also are more plen- 

 tiful and some fine stock is to be seen. 

 Golden Glow, Chrysolora, Smith's Ad- 

 vance and October Frost are the vari- 

 teties arriving. The demand is fair. 



Good asters are in shortened supply, 

 but there is still plenty of inferior stock, 

 not fit to ship. Gladioli are plentiful, 

 but are finding only a fair sale. The 

 quality of a large part of the stock is 

 too poor to command respect. Orchids 

 are still scarce, but the supply is ex- 

 pected to be a little more plentiful from 

 now on, as one large grower is com- 

 mencing to cut a bit more heavily. There 

 are plenty of Easter lilies. Some fine, 

 long-stemmed rubrum lilies also are ar- 

 riving. 



Some good southern smilax is now 

 coming in. 



Foehlmanns Get Big Refund. 



It is not every day that the mailman 

 brings a check such as was received by 

 August Poehlmann last week, namely 

 $21,833.49. The sender was the Chicago, 

 Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. The 

 check was the result of three and one- 

 half years of litigation and represented 

 overcharges on coal and manure ship- 

 ments for the last four years as claimed 

 by August Poehlmann and upheld by 

 the Interstate Commerce Commission. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Thatcher, nephew of A. J. Eos- 

 si and formerly employed by Pelicano, 

 Rossi & Co., San Francisco, has joined 

 the staff of George Wienhoeber. 



A. Miller, president of the American 

 Bulb Co., is in Detroit. 



C. J. Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., 'spent a day last week visiting violet 

 growers at Rhinebeck, N. Y. It was 

 his annual trip. In addition to looking 

 over the establishments of those who 

 ship to this house, be called on a num- 

 ber of growers shipping to other mar- 

 kets, to get a line on the general situa- 

 tion. He noted that a number of grow- 

 ers who planted carnations last year

It's cheaper to buy cut flowers in the world's greatest 

 cut flower market than it is for you to grow them —

have gone back to violets this season. 

 He found a few empty houses, but it 

 appears to him that the district will pro- 

 duce at least as many violets this year 

 as last, the plants in general being in 

 good condition. 



George Wienhoeber, H. N. Bruns and 

 A. C. Kohlbrand were in a party that 

 enjoyed good fishing at one of the Wis- 

 consin lakes during the closing days of 

 last week. 



G. M. Keburn started September 18 

 on a western trip that he expects to last 

 to the holidays. 



C. S. Clausen, who divides his atten- 

 tion between pickles and gladioli, ship- 

 ped about 7,000 spikes per day from his 



farm at Wichert last week. As they 

 cleaned up steadily, he gave the word to 

 * ' cut a few extra ' ' for Saturday, when 

 the shipment was 15,000 spikes. Mr. 

 Clausen has invested a considerable sum 

 in the newer varieties of gladioli for 

 cutting and appearances are that he la 

 being well repaid this season. 



Mrs. Eussell has been the most satis- 

 factory rose of the summer, according 

 to Mrs. C. A. Samuelson, whose experi- 

 ence in retailing is about as wide as that 

 of any florist in the city. She says 

 nearly everyone likes Russell, only a 

 few objecting to it because it floes not 

 open after being cut. Second in popu- 

 larity, says Mrs. Samuelson, is Ophelia,
