A. H. Sweigart, proprietor of the 

 Galena Greenhouses, Galena, Kan., 

 spent several days here last week on 

 his way to Duluth to settle his father's 

 estate. It was his first visit to Chicago 

 and he found much of interest in this 



Harvey Woizeski, still in uniform, 

 was a visitor last week. He was chrys- 

 anthemum grower for A. Washburn & 

 Sons, Bloomington, 111., before he was 

 called to the service and has been over- 

 seas seventeen months. He has not 

 been discharged, because one hand was 

 badly burned in France and has kept 

 him under medical care. Mr, Woizeski 

 expects to be able to resume his old

J. J. LeBorious was here from Duluth 

 last week, combining a fall buying trip 

 with the only vacation he has had this 

 summer. He says business is so good 

 it is difficult to get away. He has the 

 only greenhouses in his city and aU 

 trained help must be drawn from the 

 outside. Not being able to find the 

 man he wants as foreman, he personally 

 is directing the work at both green- 

 houses and store.

The Market. 



Stock is coming in a little more free- 

 ly, but there is no oversupply. Orchids 

 have been the most conspicuous flowers 

 in show windows lately, light and dark 

 cattleyas being largely featured. Ap- 

 pearing with them are roses, carnations, 

 a few dahlias and chrysanthemums. 

 Good ferns are shown in the background. 



Business has been active and the sup-

 short side, both in quantity and in

 varieties, such as Laddie, bringing $5 

 per hundred, and all are in good de- 

 mand. 



Chrysanthemums are coming m slow-

A few summer stragglers still linger, 

 despite the first frost, which came Octo- 

 ber 13. This, however, was but a slight 

 frost and did not kiTT any outside stock. 

 A limited number of dahlias can be ob- 

 tained at from $3 to $5 per hundred, A 

 few pansies, delphinium and buddleia 

 are also seen. A newcomer that is just 

 peeping into the market and that is as
