frigerator department, of which Wil- 

 liam Abrahamson lias cliarpc, took an 

 order from D. C. Horgan, of the Idle 

 Hour NutHorios, Macon, Ga., while Mr. 

 4or^an was hero following the conven- 

 tion, for a large display refrigerator and 

 other fixtures. This sale was confirmed 

 this week. 



Peter Duris, manager of the Chi- 

 cago end of the business of the Cen 

 tral Florai Co., saj's sales fell off heavily 

 iii the State street store last week. His 

 ixphination is that it was the ^eek 

 when nearly everyone is buying auttimn 

 apparel. Mr. Duris figures that the high 

 prices of clothing, from shoes to hats, 

 now leaves the average person little 

 money to spend for flowers during the 

 week that a wardrobe is being replen 

 ished. Mr. Duris thinks the flower busi- 

 ness will bo improved by the campaigns 

 against" the high cost of living, even 

 though some of these campaigns are di 

 reeted principally against luxuries. 



John Poehlmann left September '■> for 

 Stone Lake, "Wis., where he will spend 

 three weeks fishing. 



A man fainted in Henderson's Seed 

 Store the other day. The suggestion 

 that he probably had just learned the 

 price of Formosa lily bulbs brought out 

 the information that it was a hot day 

 and he was after chicken grits. 



Walter Horn, formerly employed by 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., has returned from 

 Krance and is again at his old place. 



George C. Weiland says that he lost 

 practically all his aster crop this year. 

 The field was at .some little distance 

 from the greenhouses in Evanston and 

 he was not able to water, with the re- 

 sult that he got only a few blooms from 

 the early varieties and none at all from 

 the late ones, because of the drought. 

 Xoxt year he intends to have the asters 

 next to the greenhouses and to equip 

 the field with the Skinner irrigation. 



The office force of Poehlmann Bros. 

 C,o, had an auto outing September (5. 

 ""hev went to Pox Lake and, outside 

 of having about five punctures, they 

 had a wonderful time. 



W. J. Smyth is prolonging his stay at 

 his Antiocli summer home later than 

 u.Hual this season. From various causes 

 he has spent more time in town this

 call his own. 



No grower can consign to us on "TRUST" alone. No

OUR SALES REPORTS deal in Cold Facts as to Mar- 

 ket Conditions and are an accounting of every dollar 

 received for every sale made. 



A grower can improve his returns in consigning to an 

 exclusive commission house that has stood the test of 

 responsibility for .38 years.

At Alois Frey 's Crown Point estab- 

 lishment the winter crop of snapdragon 

 has been dropped, because of the preva- 

 lencn of the rust. It is figured that 



by skipping a season it will be possible 

 to make a fresh start with clean stock.
