ing may be done if the ground freezes 

 at the usual time. The quantity of 

 bulba received is only part of what was 

 ordered, but there seems to be enough 

 of everything except, perhaps, tulips 

 and narcissi. 



Mr. and Mrs. John Ziska were pre- 

 sented with an 8-pound girl November 3. 



E. J. Ahles, for the last six years 

 with the A. L. Eandall Co., and a pop- 

 ular young man throughout the trade, 

 November 2 entered the employment of 

 the Pullman Car Co., going into the 

 Illinois Central division shops as an 

 electrician. 



Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst, 

 cut 185,000 roses in the last three weeks 

 of October — which should go quite some 

 way toward keeping the wolf from the 

 door. 



The Chicago Florists' Club meets 

 November 7, at the Eandolph hotel, 

 Randolph and Wells streets, at 8 p. m. 

 A big attendance is looked for, as nom- 

 ination of officers will take place. 



The high-grade three-apartment build- 

 ing at 1245 Jarvis avenue, 191 f,eet east 

 of Sheridan road, lot 40x153 feet, north 

 front, has been sold by John Mangel, 

 florist, to Theodore P. Keller, whole- 

 sale coal dealer, for an indicated con- 

 sideration of $32,000, subject to an in- 

 cumbrance of $18,000. The apartments 

 rent at $135 a month. 



Many of the old-timers in the trade 

 who used to deal with Joseph Ziska, 

 St., seem to be under the impression 

 that he has retired from the business 

 and is taking life easy, but a peep into 

 the firm's wire shop will show Mr. 

 Ziska daily, rain or shine, working with 

 his men and busy every minute.

The Market. 



The wholesale market showed great 

 improvement during all of last week. 

 There was a large increase in the sup- 

 ply of stock, while the demand was con- 

 siderably better. Halloween and All 

 Saints' day brought an extra demand 

 for stock, and the retailers had an ex- 

 cellent call for funeral work. Now that 

 frost has killed the outdoor stock, the 

 supply should be more steady. The 

 chrysanthemum season is now in full 

 swing. Pompons, too, are coming in 

 quantities and meet a big call. The

height of the mum season will come in a 

 short time, when the crop of the later 

 varieties will be cut. Roses are of fine 

 quality and large consignments arrive 

 daily from the local growers. Such va- 

 rieties as Columbia, Ophelia, Russell, the 

 Killarneys and Mock sell readily at 

 moderate prices. Carnations, also, have 

 shown improvement in quality and quan- 

 tity, while the demand is increasing. 

 TJiey clean up daily. All the Enchant- 

 ress varieties have the call, with Bea- 

 con the most popular of the reds. The 

 colder weather has brought better color 

 and stems to ihc violets and the demand 

 is excellent at all times. Lilies, orchids 



and valley are in limited supply at pres- 

 ent. Good smilax has advanced to $3 

 per dozen strings, while all other greens 

 are in large demand. 



Various Notes. 



The St. Louis Florists'- Club will hold 

 its monthly meeting November 14 at the 

 salesrooms of the W. C. Smith Whole- 

 sale Floral Co. An exhibition of cut 

 chrysanthemums will be staged at this 

 meeting. President Hummert is making 

 an effort to secure a large attendance.
