per cent of the quantity there at this 

 date last year. He says they have all 

 gone into winter-flowering sweet peas 

 instead of mums. 



It is slightly easier to get coal, but 

 not, as yet, easier to pay the bill. 



The Chicago daily papers have more 

 than doubled their advertising rates 

 since the general cost rise began, a fact 

 which has an important bearing on the 

 publicity work of the Allied Florists' 

 Association. 



The employees of the bulb houses 

 have been earning their living by the 

 sweat of their brows the last few days. 

 Handling 250-pound cases in carload 

 lots is not light work and makes sore 

 muscles for men whose principal occu- 

 pation is booking orders. 



Bassett & Washburn report the open- 

 ing of the pompon season last week. 

 The only variety ready for cutting is 

 their early double white. 



A. J. Zech motored last week to 

 Mercer, Wis., to devote a fortnight to 

 his favorite diversion, fishing. 



The opening of the gardenia season 

 is reported by the Joseph Foerster Co., 

 although the supply as yet is small. 

 Auratum lilies are said here to sell at 

 fifty per cent more than giganteums. 



The box supply vnll not trouble the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 for a few weeks at least. They have 

 just taken in a carload of knocked 

 down shipping boxes. Manager Kling- 

 sporn believes the saving in purchase 

 price v^dll more than cover the cost of 

 setting them up. 



J. C. Nielsen, who travels by motor 

 car, has started on a trip to the Twin 

 Cities, accompanied by his wife. Mr. 

 Nielsen obtained his full citizenship 

 papers September 9. 



The E. C. Amling Co., which believes 

 in the policy of being forehanded, has 

 sixty tons of overissued Newses stored 

 in its basement. 



August Jurgens, Jr., is no longer in 

 the employ of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association. 



C. J. Michelsen drove his Packard 

 to Milwaukee last week. He says he 

 found, the market there, in comparison 

 to its size, as badly overloaded as this 

 one was. 



R. Scheffler, of Wheaton, has twelve 

 houses planted with chrysanthemums. 

 There are in all about 150,000 plants, 

 about half of which are pompons. He 

 grows specially for a late crop and will 

 be cutting for Christmas. The mums 

 are to be followed by sweet peas.
