orders are increasingly numerous and 

 in the city the fall weddi\g season is 

 on, with its many socia^ affairs. Kil- 

 larneys are, of course, in larger supply 

 than White Killarney, but there are 

 nearly enough of the latter to go 

 around. Eichmonds are being cut 

 freely. Yellow roses are good property 

 and are allowed to remain in the ice- 

 boxes only a short time. Sunburst and 

 Aaron Ward are the two varieties be- 

 ing cut and it is apparent that Melody 

 has not been planted in any larger num- 

 ber than last season. Mrs. Russell 

 holds the field in the new roses for 

 the most popular demand, but there is 

 little effort needed to dispose of Mrs. 

 Shawyer or Milady. 



Carnations show much better quality 

 since the cooler weather set in and in 

 both stem and flower the market af- 

 fords a good grade of stock. Good 

 stock is not overplentiful and better 

 prices are had, but the poor grades 

 are not moving well. Lilies are selling 

 well, but there is no unusual demand 

 for them. Valley has been in special 

 demand for the last few days and there 

 has been some difficulty in filling 

 orders. Cattleyas are more plentiful, 

 but not yet in excess of the regular 

 demand. Oncidiums are so abundant 

 as to clear with some difficulty. Vio- 



lets have arrived. Asters are on the 

 wane and gladioli are about gone. 



While wholesale demand is good, it 

 is the consensus of opinion that local 

 retail trade has not picked up so fast 

 in Chicago this season as it usually 

 does. There has, of course, been con- 

 siderable improvement in September 

 as compared with August, but not what 

 it should have been. 



Various Notes. , 



Two popular members of the force 

 of the A. L. Eandall Co. suffered sud- 

 den bereavements last week and have 

 been in receipt of universal sympathy. 

 When Otto Goerisch returned home Sep- 

 tember 23 he found Mrs. Goerisch dead 

 on the floor. She left two infant 

 daughters. The funeral was held from 

 her mother's residence September 27 

 and was largely attended. There were 

 many flowers. On the night of Sep- 

 tember 25 the father of William Lor- 

 man was instantly killed by a bullet 

 from the revolver of a policeman who 

 was endeavoring to halt a man nowise 

 concerned with Mr. Lorman. William 

 is the oldest of nine children. 



The marriage of Edgar Fairburn 

 Winterson, Jr., and Miss Euth Marie 

 Edmonds took place Wednesday eve- 

 ning, October 1, at the home of the 



bride's parents. It was a quiet affair, 

 due to the bride's health, which was 

 such early in the week that it was 

 feared a postponement would be neces- 

 sary. Eev. John C. Wescott read the 

 service. Miss Elsye Winterson was 

 maid of honor and Eobert E. Edmonds 

 best man. Miss Jane Winterson played 

 the wedding march. Mr. Winterson is 

 the son of E. F. Winterson and is asso- 

 ciated with his father in Winterson 's 

 Seed Store. 



C. H. Fisk evidently finds business 

 good on the west side, for he is em- 

 ploying three automobiles to make de- 

 liveries. He says the machines are 

 busy so much of the time that he could 

 not do without any of them. 



E. E. Pieser and wife have returned 

 from a visit with Mrs. Pieser 's nephew 

 near Winnipeg. They both look as 

 though the outing had done them 

 world's of good. They were absent 

 through August and September, the 

 longest time Mr. Pieser has been away 

 from the store of Kennicott Bros. Co. 

 for several years. 



W. J. Keimel, of Wendland & Keimel, 

 Elmhurst, has suggested to the manage- 

 ment of the spring show that Ferle 

 and Melody be dropped from the pre- 

 mium list, and place given, instead, to 

 Sunburst and Milady. Certainly Perle
