Mention The RpvIpw when yon write 



rates on coal 15 cents per ton, effective 

 October 15. This will add another ap- 

 preciable item to the cost of heating 

 greenhouses, for, since Pocahontas coal 

 became so hard to get, most of the grow- 

 ers are using Franklin county coal. 



This is a busy week with everyone 

 who handles Dutch bulbs. After much 

 delay it has been possible to release 

 Waaldyk shipments to the consignees. 

 One forwarding agent has twelve car- 

 loads for Chicago and vicinity. 



The transportation committee of the 

 Chicago Florists' Club has chosen the 

 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy for the 

 trip to Galesburg on the occasion of the 

 annual meeting and flower show of the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association No- 

 vember 6 and 7, leaving Union Station 



November 6, at 10:05 a. m., due Gales- 

 burg 1:55 p. m. The fare is $3.91 each 

 way. 



Bassett & Washburn purchased a new 

 truck last week. 



Many growers still are on the anxious 

 seat in the matter of fuel supply. The 

 forehanded ones, which of course in- 

 cludes most of the larger growers, stood 

 for the high prices asked before the 

 government intervened and made con- 

 tracts for at least a considerable part 

 of their season's requirements. As a 

 typical case, Wendland & Keimel Co., 

 Elmhurst, contracted for about three- 

 fifths of their needs at a price more than 

 $1 a ton above the price subsequently 

 fixed by the government. A large part 

 of this coal already is in storage and the 



coal company guarantees prompt deliv- 

 ery of the rest, but will not commit 

 itself beyond the quantity originally 

 bargained for. 



Emil Buettner is making a trip to 

 Richmond this week to see Hill's new 

 rose, Columbia, in its native habitat. 

 Mr. Buettner has about decided that he 

 will not plant Mrs. Russell again and 

 he is considering Columbia as its suc- 

 cessor. On the trip to Richmond Mr. 

 Buettner was accompanied by his su- 

 perintendent, Mr. Earl, by F. M. John- 

 son, of the A. L. Randall Co., and Ernst 

 Wienhoeber, retailer, the quartette rep- 

 resenting an aggregation of talent qual- 

 ified to pass judgment on prettv nearly 

 anything pertaining to the 'florists' 

 business.
