Vincent Neil, of the American Bulb 

 Co., is a busy man these days. He is at 

 the head of a force of ten men, working 

 nights and Sundays to hasten bulb ship- 

 ments. A third car of giganteums ar- 

 rived this week and October 27 sixty- 

 eight cases of Dutch stock came in. 



The first Paper Whites of the season, 

 so far as noted, were shipped in last 

 week by Charles McCauley, of the Eiver- 

 bank Greenhouses, Geneva, 111. 



Elmer Volkman, E. C. Amling's new- 

 est son-in-law, is learning the rose grow- 

 ing business through association with 

 Eugene Dramm. 



The latest item of equipment in the 

 shipping department of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association, presided 

 over by L. C. Sherer, is a huge brass 

 stencil, with which ' ' Say It with Flow- 

 ers" in the standard style of lettering 

 is emblazoned on the sides of every box 

 sent out. 



The gardeners on the north shore will 

 have a field day at Durand Art Insti- 

 tute, Lake Forest, next Wednesday, No- 

 vember 5, when the second annual chrys- 

 anthemum exhibition will be held 

 there. The affair would be of special 

 interest to the seedsmen if they were 

 not so busy with bulb shipments and 

 the greenhouse builders will all be there. 



Andrew Chronis, of the Alpha Floral 

 Co., is one of those who subscribes to the 

 belief that to sell flowers one must 

 have flowers to sell. The store at the 

 corner of Wabash avenue and Adams 

 street, is literally crammed with stock. 

 It could not well hold more. The show- 

 ing provokes many comments from those 

 who pass and the clerks are busy. 



The rose growers at Maywood are not 

 propagators; they prefer to use their 

 space for cut flowers and to buy their 

 young stock from specialists. But they 

 view with alarm the scarcity of Man- 

 etti stocks and the prospect that a young 

 grafted rose plant for the next two 

 years at least will cost three times as 

 much as heretofore. 



E. C. Amling plans to leave some time 

 next month to spend the winter at 

 Orange, Cal. The trip is because of

THE MARKET 



"THE MARKET" is the BUY-WORD of the Retail Florist 

 who owns no greenhouses and so depends entirely upon 

 Chicago for the Cut Flower Supply. 



OUR PART in "THE MARKET" toward supplying the 

 trade last season extended into 2(59 Cities in 27 States. 



Many of our present NEW ACCOUNTS have been brought 

 to us through the recommendation of our OLD CUSTOMERS.
