dition is said to be critical. Thomas 

 Conlin, for many years head of the 

 plant department, will henceforth also 

 assume supervision of the palm houses. 



The John C. Moninger Co. is at work 

 on a private conservatory contract at 

 the corner of Forty-eighth street and 

 Drexel boulevard, its part of which runs 

 to $15,000. 



The society columns of the news- 

 papers say that the debutantes are to 

 be few and far between this season, 

 such coming out parties as there are be- 

 ing most unostentatious. The E. Wien- 

 hoeber Co., which has a large share 

 in the flower business for these affairs, 

 says that the society reporters are 

 not misinformed, for there is much less 

 than the usual amount of this business 

 on the books this year. 



The honor of capturing Hinsdale's 

 first slacker goes to A. C. Benson, su- 

 perintendent for Bassett & Washburn. 

 The slacker, a Hungarian, applied to 

 Mr. Benson for a position. Mr. Benson 

 makes it a point to demand that appli- 

 cants for work at his establishment 

 show registration cards. When the 

 man replied that his card had been lost, 

 Mr. Benson promptly took him to a 

 police station, where he admitted that 

 he had not registered. He did not do 

 so, he said, because he believed it un- 

 necessary. 



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

 Co., who keeps in personal touch with 

 his growers, says he thinks everyone 

 is fairly well satisfied: They all have 

 some coal, all are cutting some flowers 

 and all getting some money, as much, 

 he figures, as at this time in any pre- 

 vious season. 



Chrysanthemums —Pompons 



—also Ophelia, White Killarney, Pink Killarney, Killarney Brilliant 

 and all other leading varieties of Roses, Galax, Leucothoe and Box- 

 wood. Complete stock of Ferns; also ail other seasonable cut flowers 

 and greens.

Miss Flora M. Green, who uses almost 

 her own name in Green's Floral Shop, 

 1534 Jarvis avenue, is back on the job 

 after an absence of eleven weeks spent 

 iu the Presbyterian hospital. Busi- 

 ness is picking up nicely, especially in 

 the cut flower line. This Rogers Park 

 store is handled by two sisters- 

 Edward Galavan, of the A. L. Ran- 

 dall Co., is on a business trip east, 

 having been last heard from at Phila- 

 delphia. 



F. F. Benthey, Nestor of the local 

 wholesalers, says he figures that the 

 present affords no complaint from any- 

 one as to the condition of business or 

 the prices obtained for stock; nor does 

 he see any danger of decreased demand 

 at any time this season. 



Talk about the troubles of importers, 

 after all the delay incident to getting 

 the Dutch bulbs released by the New 

 York customs authorities and on board 

 cars, a carload of stock for Winterson's 



Seed Store was in a train wrecked on 

 the B. & 0..i^ Berea, 0,, last week. The 

 bulbs were ffot damaged, but the train 

 was delay e/J for a day, and days count 

 in the bul"b business this year. 



Miss Pauiti Aichholzer, who for the 

 last eight years has been connected 

 with the establishment of L. Malcher, 

 216 West Division street, is leaving 

 Mr. Malcher to reside in Kenosha, Wis., 

 not as Miss Aichholzer, but as Mrs. S. 

 Fredricks. 



The American Bulb Co. reports having 

 received telegraphic information that 

 three carloads of its giganteum bulbs 

 left Seattle for Chicago October 23. 

 They are all sold, and growers are wait- 

 ing to pot them up. 



Rapid progress is being made on the 

 premises at 164 North Wabash avenue,
