MUMS AND POMPONS 



We are the largest growers of Mums and Pompons in the Chicago market — 

 quite likely the largest growers in America. Our list includes all the old favor- 

 ite varieties and the best of the novelties. The cut already is heavy, but it will 

 increase each week till Thanksgiving. Send along your orders.

chrysanthemums. Prices were much 

 lower than last year, the excellent total 

 of sales being made on the volume of 

 business. The evidence goes to show 

 that the public bought more flowers 

 than in any previous October. /' 



Time to Buy Coal. / 



C. L. Washburn, chairman of the 

 Florists' Club's committee on coal, says 

 that now is a good time for growers to 

 buy enough coal to carry them through 

 December and January. The market 

 has eased steadily for a fortnight or 

 more. A good grade of southern Illinois 

 coal may now be obtained for about $5 

 to $5.25 per ton at the mines in single 

 car lots, at $4.75 to $5 in larger quanti- 

 ties. Mr. Washburn quotes his friend, 

 C. M. Moderwell, one of Chicago's 

 largest wholesale coal dealers, as being 

 of the opinion that prices are not likely 

 to fall much farther in the immediate 

 future.
