 W. J. La Grotta and few members of 

 the trade had seen him in the last five

 are Paul Klingsporn's latest recruits for 

 the life membership list of the S. A. F. 



C. H. Fisk recently returned from a 

 six weeks' motor trip to California, 

 where he hopes some day to live. He 

 drove a new Franklin 6,100 miles. 



F. A. Parkmire, 1429 Morse avenue, 

 has installed a Buchbinder icebox, 4x12 

 feet, and a refrigerating machine. He 

 hfts found a way to save coal, by fasten- 

 ing hia hotbed sashes on the side walls 

 of the houses. They are held in place by 

 two screws and may be removed or put 

 on in a few moments. The side walls are 

 thus made double and the sashes are 

 ready for spring use, all glazed and in 

 good order. 



A. Henderson & Co., after distributing 

 a car of Paper Whites last week, had 

 two more cars awaiting release by the 

 state inspector. They have found that 

 the operation of the new quarantine 

 regulations mean several days' delay in 

 delivery of the bulbs. 



The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 

 is in line for government citation as one 

 of the companies that, without excep- 

 tion, have reemployed every man who 

 left to answer the call to the colors. 



Frank Oechslin now operates his place 

 on a 9-hour day.

Among last week's visitors were H. G. 

 Berning and wife, of St. Louis. They 

 had been away from home for about 

 three weeks, during which they attended 

 the convention at Detroit. Mrs. Bern 

 ing was secretary of the Ladies' 8. A. F. 

 and was much pleased that the organi- 

 zation has progressed so fast. At De- 

 troit forty new annual and four new 

 life members were received. 



J. J. Karins, of Drcer's, was here over 

 the week end, witli some excellent sam- 

 ple kentias at the store of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association. 



J. F. Ammann, president of the S. A. 

 v., is visiting his daughter, who lives 

 in Chicago. The family are here, hav- 

 ing motored from Edwardsville, and

 tember 15. Mr. Ammann is visiting

 here this week, on his way home from 

 the convention, to talk over the season's 

 supply of stock with his wholesalers.

The Market. 



Little variety in stock, slight change 

 in prices and fairly good business 

 marked last week. As a whole the 

 month has been satisfactory and the 

 feeling prevails that the coming season 

 will be unprecedented in the amount of 

 business. 



Gladioli at $8 per hundred, roses from 

 $12 to $15 and home-grown asters at 

 $1.50 and western asters at $4 complete 

 the list of available flowers. 



Various Notes. 

 When the employees of the William 

 L. Bock Flower Co. arrived at the store 

 August 27 they found a large part of 

 the stock on the sidewalk in front of 

 the store. The night before a pipe in 

 the refrigerating plant in the basement 

 sprung a leak and filled the place with 

 ammonia fumes. L. O. Monson, who is 

 on duty each night until 12 o'clock, de- 

 tected the fumes ami promptly started

 to safety between fifty and sixty ca- 

 naries and finches and half a dozen 

 young ducks that had been used for 

 window display. He reached one or 

 two other clerks by telephone and, as 

 they had been in the army, they 

 brought their gas masks and were able 

 to make their way to the basement, 

 where the valve from the ammonia 

 tank was turned off. Owing to Mr. 

 Monson 's efforts, little damage re- 

 sulted from the leak. A few plants in 

 the window were burned up. two or
