of age October 11. He is a chip of the 

 old block. 



Eobert Newcomb arrived from the 

 coast October 8 and is at Indianapolis 

 this week. He says the trade in the far 

 west has had an uncommonly good sum- 

 mer and that everywhere he called on 

 his trip from Portland to Chicago fall 

 business is opening well. Mr. New- 

 comb believes the demand for flowers 

 has grown faster than production has 

 increased, with the result that another 

 good season is assured. 



A. F. Borden, of the Redondo Floral 

 Co., Los Angeles, stopped in Chicago 

 October 9 on his way to the F. T. D. 

 convention at Indianapolis. 



Mr. Leedle, of The Rosery, Spring- 

 field, O., was hera last week, to meet his 

 mother, who was returning home from a 

 visit to California. 



Dr. Moore, head of the Hollywood 

 Gardens, Seattle, Wash., was here last 

 week on a business trip, which was 

 planned to include the F. T. D. meeting. 



Edward Galavan is in New York this 

 week. 



W. C. Florentine has resigned his 

 position with the A. L. Randall Co., 



where he handled the growers' supplies, 

 and will remove to Freeport, 111., ^here 

 he will join the sales force of the 

 Hoover Laboratories, which is putting a 

 new plant food on the market. 



William Abrahamson was at Detroit 

 last week to superintend the finishing 

 touches on the new store of Papas Bros., 

 Inc., which will open October 15. Lo- 

 cated at the corner of Woodward ave- 

 nue and Parsons street, this is one of 

 the largest flower stores in America and 

 is completely Randall equipped. 



Many Chicago florists will be inter- 

 ested to know that a baby boy has ar- 

 rived at the new home of Ernst C. Ang- 

 ling, at Orange, Cal. 



John Mangel is the latest convert to 

 the Sunday closing idea and his stores 

 in the Palmer House and the Blackstone 

 hotel will no longer open on the Sab- 

 bath. 



Ben Miller, vice-president of the A. 

 B. C, returned last week from his trip 

 to Holland to inspect and expedite the 

 bulb shipments. The distribution of the 

 huge imports has been no small task 

 and, indeed, there is still much night 

 work to be done, as mail orders are com- 



ing in a flood, with a good many cases 

 of bulbs not yet opened. 



The trustee in the case of William 

 Langhout, bankrupt, has 6led his final 

 report in the District court and a meet- 

 ing of the creditors is called for Octo- 

 ber 21. The attorneys for the trustee 

 ask for the allowance of $2,500 in fees. 



J. Martens, of Minneapolis, spent Oc- 

 tober 11 in this market, buying autumn 

 and Christmas supplies, on his way to 

 Indianapolis. 



CLEVELAND, O. 



The Market. 



Business the last week tightened up 

 considerably and stock has been clean- 

 ing up nicely, with the exception of the 

 longest roses and some of the inferior 

 grades of outdoor stock. Dahlias have 

 become more scarce and have cleaned 

 up, with the exception of a day or two 

 in the week. Roses have been cleaning 

 up nicely and the few carnations com- 

 ing in have also sold readily. 



Julius Dilloff was a visitor in town.
