roses. Bulgarie is in larger supply and 

 sells well. Sunburst is more in evidence 

 and the longer grades will stand as at 

 least as good as any other roses in the 

 market. Anything in yellows cleans up 

 rapidly. Maryland is not so much in 

 evidence as before, but moves along 

 with the other pinks. Mrs. Russell, 

 Milady, Radiance and the other novel- 

 ties find a popular market. 



Gladioli have become less important 

 and the daily shipments show them to 

 be on the decline, both in numbers and 

 in quality. Valley is moving much bet- 

 ter with the first tew fall weddings and 

 smilax is in demand for both weddings 

 and other decorations. Mums have not 

 arrived in the numbers that were ex- 

 pected. Those that possess quality are 

 quickly disposed of at fairly good 

 prices. Golden Glow is the principal 

 oflFering. Cosmos has arrived. Not 

 many dahlias are seen; this market does 

 not take to them the way the eastern 

 markets do. Zinnias are abundant, but 

 slow sale. The call for orchids is in- 

 creasing faster than the supply. 



Various Notes. 



Poehlmaun Bros. Co. has effected a 

 settlement with the estate of John 

 Lenik, who was electrocuted June 5, 

 while working with the soil mixing ma- 

 ohise at Plant B of the Morton Grove

establishment. The deceased left a 

 widow with three children. August 

 Poehlmann offered to settle with her on 

 the terms of the Illinois Workingmen 's 

 Compensation act, which would entitle 

 her to receive half her husband's pay 

 for eight years, but she preferred a cash 

 settlement and offered to take $2,000, 

 which would be considerably less than 

 the compensation act payments would 

 aggregate. This is the first accident 

 that ever has occurred at Morton Grove 

 which made the company in any way 

 liable. 



F. F. Benthey .ioined the forces of 

 Zech & Mann September 15, where the 



roses of the Benthey establishment at 

 New Castle, Ind., now are sold. 



Steve Steberl, who last spring bought 

 out A. C. Rojahn, at River Forest, has 

 six houses filled with chrysanthemums, 

 15,000 plants in fine shape. He is cut 

 ting some of the best Golden Glow that 

 have thus far come into the market. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 writes that he will return to Chicago 

 September 28. 



The daily papers have recorded the 

 swindling of Mrs. Anna L. Silverman, 

 who gave $7 cash change when a 

 stranger presented a check for $22 to 

 pay for a funeral design costing $15.
