damaged flowers. The mums thus liave 

 had to retail at a price so high the sale 

 was not brisk and orders have been re- 

 duced as the h)cal supply increased. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co., October 6, 

 decorated in (Jrace church and made 

 the bouquets for the West- Kilmer wed- 

 ding, one of the largest affairs of the 

 early season in Oak Park. The bouquets 

 were exceptionally effective. The 

 bride's was of swainsona and gardenias, 

 that of the maid of honor of jnnk cen- 

 taurea. 



Chicago wholesalers wore not so 

 numerously re])rescnto{l at Indianapolis 

 this week as liad been expected. 



John Poehlmann says the number of 

 stores using orchids lias increased no- 

 ticeably in the last two years, and to 

 such an extent he thinks another over- 

 supply of cattleyas highly improbable. 



In the "new" range of the Albert 

 F. Amling Co., Maj'wood, there are 

 140,000 rose plants under the care of 

 William Collatz and his assistants. The 

 plants all have been run through last 

 summer without a rest. Indeed, the 

 White Killarney plants have been run 



steadily, without rest, since they were 

 benched in 1915. 



Arthur M. Anderson, textiles buyer 

 for the A. L. Randall Co., says condi- 

 tions in France do not warrant expec- 

 tations of further declines in the price 

 of chiffons. Mr. Anderson has made 

 two trips to France since the war. 

 Manufacturing costs there, he says, are 

 higher than ever before and can not 

 come down rapidly. 



The quarterly meeting of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association was post- 

 poned a week, from October 12, because 

 of the absence of President Weiland 

 and Manager Klingsporn, who were at 

 Indianapolis. 



Charles Bond had a gold mine in his 

 cattleya houses last autumn and is 

 again cutting in some quantity, al- 

 though he will not have his full crop 

 until Christmas. He has cut little all 

 summer. 



Chrysanthemums have brought un- 

 usually good prices so far this season, 

 but Bassett & Washburn claim the 

 record to date, having sold white mums 

 for as much as $8 per dozen to city re- 



tailers as recently as October 8, The 

 Russell rose has lost no popularity at 

 this establishment, where it is asserted 

 the quality of the present crop is not 

 equaled by any other rose. 



A. Lange decorated at three country 

 clubs October 8, as wddely scattered as 

 Highland Park and Beverly Hills. He 

 had a large wedding October 12, which 

 kept him away from Indianapolis, but 

 Homer Lange attended the F. T. D. 

 meeting. 



Miss Lillian A. Tonner and her 

 mother plan to leave for Baconton, Ga., 

 on the night of November 2. They will 

 wait to cast their votes. Mrs. Tonner, 

 mother of a large family of florists, is 

 76 years of age and greatly interested 

 in this first opportunity for exercising 

 the full franchise. 



• A. Miller spent the greater part of 

 last week with A. B. C. customers in or 

 near St. Louis. 



Because of an affection of the gums, 

 A. J. Zech had seven teeth extracted 

 last week, with more to follow. He has 

 a long job of bridge work ahead of him.
