"been practically a failure this season. 

 Valley sells well enough to move what 

 little is being cut and the prices hold 

 firm. Cattleyas have become a neglig- 

 ible factor; small supply and small de- 

 mand. A dozen or two early mums are 

 seen here and there. The green goods 

 market is quiet.

"Well pleased with the first year's re- 

 sults from the plant department, Poehl- 

 xnann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, will add 

 considerably to the glass now given 

 over to growing the popular specialties 

 in the decorative plant line. The de- 

 partment was inaugurated a little over 

 twelve months ago, when C. G. Ander- 

 son, previously with the George Witt- 

 bold Co., was placed in charge of the 

 70,000 square feet of glass that was 

 given over to plants. In some lines it 

 has been found hard to keep up with 

 the demand and from time to time the 

 plant department has been given an ad- 

 jacent carnation house, so that almost 

 all of the first section of plant A now 

 is given over to Mr. Anderson and his 

 corps of plant growers. When the en- 

 tire space now intended for plants is 

 in operation there will be close to 200,- 

 000 square feet of modern glass for 

 the exclusive use of the potted stock. 

 In addition to the glass, a new packing 

 shed, together with a cold house and 

 lath structure for storage has been 

 erected in the space just north of the 

 first house in plant A. The plant de- 

 partment will make an exhibit at the 

 Minneapolis convention of the S. A. F. 



Machinery has been ordered for a box 

 factory, for the manufacture of ship- 

 ping cases for cut flowers, supplies and 

 plants. 



At the city store the H. A. Born Co. 

 has installed a mechanical refrigeration 

 plant to operate the ice-boxes. Many 

 of the growers have them, but this is 

 the first in the wholesale market. 



Edward Toepel, secretary of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club, has resigned his 

 position at Morton Grove, where he has 

 been in charge of the office force of 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. for a number of 

 years. He leaves for western Washing- 

 ton about September 1, to take up farm- 

 ing with his brother, who has been on 

 the Pacific coast for some time. His

departure is regretted by his many 

 friends. His term of oflSce as secretary 

 of the Florists' Club has been marked 

 by the efficient way in which the records 

 have been maintained and the rapidity 

 with which the tangles wore cleared up 

 after he took charge. 



Richard Salm is spending two weeks 

 in Upper Michigan, where he is taking 

 in the various points of interest via 

 automobile. A. W. Larson, also of Mor- 

 ton Grove, left August 2 for Minneapo- 

 lis with his family, where he will spend 

 a week with his sister, who recently 

 moved to the Twin Cities. 



August Poehlmann drove his six-cyl- 

 inder motor to Delevan, Wis., August 2, 



where he and his family spent the week 

 end. 



July Weather. 



It was hot in July, but not so dry as 

 many imagine. The mean temperature 

 was 75 degrees, while the normal is 72.4 

 degrees. On seven days the maximum 

 exceeded 90 degrees. The rainfall was 

 3.30 inches, or only one-third of an inch 

 less than the normal. The sun, how- 

 ever, was bright. It shone eleven hours 

 and twelve minutes each day, on the 

 average, or seventy-five per cent of the 

 possible; seven days had the full 100 

 per cent of sun. The normal for July is 

 seventy-one per cent.
