by the trade in the Park Ridge green- 

 house section. 



The A. B. C, has bought a flivver, 

 for William Langhout's use in calling 

 on bulb buyers in the Chicago territory. 



Emil Beuttner and family returned 

 last week from their summer home at 

 Eagle River, Wis. They came as they 

 went, by automobile, taking two days 

 for the trip. It is 350 miles by the most 

 direct route. Mr. Beuttner says that he 

 thinks by next year it will be time to 

 consider an airplane, with which he 

 probably can run down from Eagle River 

 to Park Ridge in the morning and back 

 in the evening. 



F, M. Johnson and Edward Galavan, 

 of the A. L. Randall Co., are on one 

 of their frequent trips to New York. 



The bulb merchants are busy. The 

 Dutch stock is arriving and there is a 

 full line with which to do business, 

 barring some of the less important items 

 kept out by the quarantine. It looks 

 as though the Holland exporters were 

 filling orders in full. The exceptions 

 may be some of the daffodils and a few 

 early tulips. 



At Henderson 's Seed Store it is re- 

 ported that fall counter trade has 

 started with a rush. 



Leonard Kill, formerly well known 

 in the Chicago market, who has been 

 here most of the summer, left Septem- 

 ber 24 to return to Los Angeles. He 

 now is in the automobile accessory 

 business. 



The Chicago Flower Growers' Associ- 

 ation opened its big basement shipping 

 room, the domain of L. C. Sherer, Sep- 

 tember 23, the first day of autumn. 

 There is a new ice machine, started up 

 for the first time last week, handling 

 the coolers. Peter Baumann, formerly 

 in charge of the selling at Peter Rein- 

 berg's, joined Mr. Klingsporn's sales 

 force September 23. 



A. Lange is the only retail florist in 

 Chicago who has been advertising stead- 

 ily all summer. He used the newspapers 

 in the off season because he wants to 

 let everybody know his new address 

 and, now that autumn is here, he has 

 entered on a campaign to increase the 

 number of sales, it having been demon-

strated that the new location has re- 

 sulted in some decrease in the number 

 of customers waited on, with a large 

 increase in the average size of the sales. 

 He has room for more customers and is 

 using the newspapers to get them. 



Last Saturday, September 20, was the 

 tenth anniversary of the Joseph Foers- 

 ter Co., opened that day in 1909 as 

 Kyle & Foerster. The concern has en- 

 joyed a decade of uninterrupted suc- 

 cess under conservative management.
