lines and, although they may not yet 

 have reached the point of seeking them 

 out, they take them on readily enough 

 when someone like Mr. Cook comes 

 along and saves them the trouble even 

 of writing a letter. 



An analytical mind, combined with 

 long study of the florists ' trade, enables 

 Fred Lautenschlager to derive a mean- 

 ing from the purchases of boilers. Prom 

 this summer's orders, which have been 

 particularly numerous, he deduces that 

 many small growers, encouraged by pre- 

 ceding seasons, have made moderate, ad- 

 ditions to their glass area. And, so 

 sanguine are their expectations for com- 

 ing seasons, that they are purchasing 

 Kroeschell boilers large enough to per- 

 mit further additions of glass within 

 another year or two. Mr. Lauten- 

 schlager sees widespread confidence, 

 thus signified, in the trade's prospects. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co., on Elm street, 

 is in the midst of remodeling its store. 

 The work was begun, several weeks ago 

 und has been delayed by the labor trou- 

 Dles in the building trades, but will be 

 finished quickly when the unions accept 

 their wage award. In the meantime 

 the Wienhoeber business continues good. 

 There have been more wedding orders 

 this year than ever before in the first 

 half of September. 



John Muir, who has had no vacation 

 this summer, is planning an early au- 

 tumn outing at his fruit farm at Mears, 

 Mich., where he has, among other things, 

 a 12-acre orchard of cherries which will 

 come into bearing next year. 



Maurice Grossberg, of the defunct 

 Grossberg, Tyler, Finnerman Co., has 

 joined the sales force of Lion & Co., a 

 New York ribbon house. 



A. J. Zeeh and Matt Mann have re- 

 turned from their outing in Wisconsin. 

 They had an enjoyable trip, although 

 unable to find a place where the fish 

 were hungry. 



An old house, not useful for anything 

 else, served to produce some splendid 

 giant dahlia-flowered zinnias for P. W. 

 Peterson, of the Chicago Carnation Co. 

 Blooms of equal size have been obtained 

 by other growers outdoors, but not such 

 good stems, nearly two feet in length. 



Otto Amling has spent more time than 

 usual vacationing this summer, chiefly 

 in fishing at Lake Marie and adjoining 

 waters. 



The windows of the Fleishman Floral 

 Co., in the Bailway Exchange building, 

 are noted for the striking displays they 

 contain. None has been so colorful as 

 that of the last week, when the left- 

 hand space was occupied by a gilded 

 tree stump, from the hollows of which 

 projected brilliant tritomas in large 

 numbers. 



In about another week Hans Jepson 

 will be cutting Golden Queen mums, al- 

 most a month earlier than he has pre- 

 viously sent them to market. 



The Lake county fair, held last week 

 at Libertyvillc, was notable for its 

 floral displays from the millionaires' 

 estates in the vicinity. Joseph Kohout 

 acted as judge. 



Visitors. 



J. F. Ammann is in town, addressing 

 the opening fall meeting of the Com- 

 mercial Flower Growers of Chicago at 

 the Hotel Randolph Thursday evening, 

 September 15. 



J. K. Bugowski, of Manitowoc, Wis., 

 was in the market last week with some 

 of his new asters. Though not so big 

 as those he introduced last year, they

STABILITY 



It is not difficult to find pros- 

 pects nor to induce them to make 

 a trial. For American business 

 men, like the Athenians of old, 

 are always trying some new 

 thing. 



Flirting 



The thing is to hold them; to 

 make permanent friends. 



For it is the repeat order that 

 \)uilds and no art can force a 

 repeat. It comes of itself.
