Works, which made a popular steel 

 boiler for greenhouses, discontinued its 

 manufacture during the war and now 

 is wholly engaged in another line. 



• ' Follow My Leader. ' ' 



John G. Wittbold announces that the 

 Buckingham place store of the George 

 Wittbold Co. will not be open on Sun- 

 day this season. "We believe all the 

 larger Chicago florists are willing to re- 

 main closed on Sunday," says Mr. Witt- 

 bold, "and of course the leaders have 

 taken individual action, but there are a 

 great many smaller florists who do most 

 of their own work, who have not yet 

 seen the light." 



When a florist gets the habit of do- 

 ing all the work in the place, it is hard 

 to get him to rest or play, but if he 

 hires help, the help leaves if the hours 

 per week are too many, 



October Weather. 



October was a difficult month for the 

 growers. There was no killing frost 

 near the lake until October 29. The 

 mean temperature was 4 degrees above 

 normal. Rainfall, 6.41 inches, was 

 more than twice normal, the greatest 

 for October since 1883. The percentage 

 of possible sunshine was only fifty-one, 

 against sixty as normal. It was a warm, 

 damp, dark month, the kind of weather 

 that increases production of flowers and 

 makes them soft. 



Various Notes. 



W. H. Hilton, who is now at 1509 

 East Fifty-third street and has been in 

 business in Hyde Park for more than 

 thirty years, intends to move to San 

 Diego, Cal. 



Mrs. Joseph Kohout, of Libertyville, 

 111., was successfully operated on for 

 appendicitis last week, at the Garfield 

 Park hospital. A daughter of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Kohout was operated on for the 

 same complaint about a month ago. 



F. M. Johnson says October made 

 another new record in the matter of 

 billings in florists' supplies and other 

 merchandise departments of the A. L. 

 Randall Co. Month after month this 

 year's business has been exceeding all 

 jirevious high marks. 



Strength of 



Years 



INCREASED EARNINGS 



AND 



INCREASED PROFITS 



with the RETAIL FLORISTS come only from a 

 knowledge of the actual cost of Cut Flowers. IN BUYING 

 from the CHICAGO MARKET it is an easy matter to make a 

 profit for RE-SALE to the CONSUMER. MILLIONS of ROSE 

 PLANTS-MORE MILLIONS of CARNATION PLANTS- 

 cut flower production of which is at MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY 

 -and at a MINIMUM of EXPENSE -all YOURS to draw 

 from. 



We have our share of the QUALITY and QUANTITY to meet 

 the requirements of all classes of BUYERS, and facilities to 

 provide fer every emergency.
