November Business. 



At the end of last season few were 

 80 sanguine as to believe that it would 

 be possible in 1919 to duplicate the 

 sales records of the autumn of 1918. 

 But it has been done. Quite a number 

 of wholesale houses did more in Oc- 

 tober than in the month last year. No- 

 vember has turned out even better. 

 Nearly all the houses which cater spe- 

 cially to the out-of-town trade have 

 enjoyed a record business for Novem- 

 ber. Prices were not nearly so high as 

 last year, but the quantity of stock has 



more than made up the difference, the 

 out-of-town demand being the greatest 

 ever known during chrysanthemum 

 time. 



The Fuel Situation. 



Tiio serious turn in the fuel situation 

 has resulted in many unfounded rumors 

 concerning the growers; none of tiiem 

 seem actually to be in want. 



Nearly all the growers heeded the 

 many warnings last summer and filled 

 up all covered storage space, while some 

 erected huge piles in the open. At Plant 

 B of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton 

 Grove, there is a supply sufficient to 

 keep the whole place going from two 



to three months. If cars stop coming 

 to Plant A's sidetrack, the big 6-ton 

 truck will haul coal back over the route 

 it carried it last summer. Bassett & 

 Washburn liave a month's supply 

 stacked in the open. 



Nearly all the growers who had cars 

 in transit last week have failed to r - 

 ceivc them; they are not confiscated, 

 but merely held up awaiting develop- 

 ments. Charles Bond, the Naperville 

 orchid profiteer, was in town December 

 1 looking for means of getting a car re- 

 leased, although not yet in need, but 

 could find no one who would agree that 

 cattleyas at $3 per bloom are an essen- 

 tial.
