A. T. Pyfor comments on the excellent 

 run of rush orders from tlie south on 

 the eve of All Saints' day. He says it 

 is evident that, while the far-away Pa- 

 cific coast slii])j)ers had «'anvassed the 

 southwest j)retty thoroughly and hooked 

 a good many advance orders for mums, 

 many of the retailers found business 

 better than they had anticipated, as 

 they wired Chicago for additional stock. 



The A. li. C offices were decorated, 

 October 20, with handsome vases of 

 Medina, the new white rose, soon to be 

 ])ut on the market by White Bros. 

 Medina is a white sport of Sunburst. 

 The flowers here referred to had been 

 delayed in delivery by forty-eight hours 

 and many were wide open, but all of 

 them were in usable condition. Several 

 Chicago growers have jjlaced orders for 

 stock. 



Eric Johnson went to Memphis Oct<)- 

 ber 29, to s])end a coui)le of days with 

 his Idlewild friend, W. H. Englehart, 

 the ])air then i)roceeding to (Chattanooga, 

 where the Tennessee State Florists' As- 

 sociatioji is holding its cojivention this 

 week. 



The elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 

 E. (". Amling, Mrs. Rev. .1. M. Bailey, 

 now resides in Milwaukee and Mr. and 

 Mrs. Amling have been spending a few 

 days there. Before her marriage Mrs. 

 Bailey sat at the cashier 's window of 

 the E. C. Amling Co. She is well known 

 to florists. 



W. J. Smyth's Halloween window was 

 Ti menace to the heavy traffic on Michi- 

 gan avenue, so many drivers turning 

 their eyes to the autumnal setting for 

 flowers instead of keeping them on the 

 car ahead, as should be the rule at 

 Smyth 's corner. 



Visitors. 



C. A. Pfeiflfer, of the PfeifTer Nursery, 

 Winona, Minn., was in Chicago October 

 27, toting samples of gladiolus bulbs. 

 He says the growing season at Winona 

 was tlie most favorable he has experi 

 enced in the ten years since he started 

 the nursery business and that the bulbs 

 probably never can be of higher qual- 

 ity than this crop. He has already sold 

 out of several sizes, but booked some 

 good orders while here. 



W. W. Gammage, of l^ondon, Ont., 

 and his son, Bert, were visitors October 

 31. The younger man is taking the 

 course in floriculture under Prof. Dorner 

 at the University of Hlinois, where Oc- 

 tober 29 was Fathers' day. They came 

 to (^hicago together for a look around. 



Gustave Kaasch, of Kankakee, was 

 in the market October 31 discussing 

 sujiply and demand with H. Van Gelder, 

 and chrysanthemum varieties with N. J. 

 Wietor." 



Ellicott City, Md. — George H. Anioss 

 has started the erection of several 

 greenhouses on his property, near West 

 Friendship. Mr. Amoss has been in the 

 trade for a number of years. 



^ A. large percentage of the total volume 

 of stock which we ship is sent out on standing 

 orders io ship daily or twice a week a certain 

 fixed amount of standard stock. 



^ This arrangement saves worry as well as 

 expense; provides a reserve for unforeseen 

 contingencies; and insures against shortage. 



^ Like a balance at the bank or a full coal 

 bin, it gives a comfortable feeling of se- 

 curity. 



^ Such orders are, naturally, filled at the 

 time when there is most leisure for careful 

 selection; and, being known in advance, are 

 always free from any misunderstanding.
