sales have been surprisingly good, con- 

 sidering the large quantities of bulbs 

 in the country this season. The Dutch 

 stock is well cleaned up except for one 

 variety, Keizerskroon. Auratum has 

 arrived from Japan and is specially 

 good this year. 



November 5 George Bayer, of To- 

 ledo, began his annual shipments of 

 Bonnaffon to Kennicott Bros* Co. E. 

 E. Pieser was able to be at the store 

 for a short time November 9, but still 

 is a sick man. 



Several local growers and supply 

 houses have shipped exhibits to the 

 Houston flower show this week. 



C. A. Boyle, at Galien, Mich., has 

 begun his annual shipment of red win- 

 ter berries to this market. 



E. C. Amling commeftte on tlie con- 

 dition of business, stating that he does 

 not believe an equal quantity of 

 flowers ever has been sold with so little 

 actual waste as has been the ease in 

 the last month. 



O. P. Bassett, who, since his retire- 

 ment from the firm of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn, has made his home at Pasadena, 

 finds the climate there just to his 

 liking. He is 80 years of age, but full 

 of health and energy. Motoring is his 

 principal pastime. His present car has 

 been run just two years and recently 

 the speedometer turned 50,000 miles. 

 He averages about 2,000 miles per 

 month. 



L. Hockner, who is commuting from 

 Crystal Lake, had a party of friends 

 out for a housewarming November 8. 

 Among them were Felix Reichling, 

 Miss McNulty and their fellow em- 

 ployees of Peter Reinberg.

November 4, of a consignment of 

 mums from San Francisco. They had 

 been on the road since October .31, but 

 arrived in salable condition. Only it 

 is something like carrying coals to 

 Newcastle to ship mums to this njarket 

 in November. 



For years John G. Witt & Son have 

 done a large garden business at 10423 

 Wallace street. Recently they have 

 gone into outdoor cut flowers, etc., con- 

 signing last summer to the Chicago 

 Carnation Co., and now they are build-

start a retail flower business as the 

 Fernwood Park Floral Co. 



Pyfer & Olsem have removed their 

 retail store at Wilmette to the Village 

 theater building, where, with new fix- 

 tures, they have an extremely attrac- 

 tive place. 



According to N. .T. Wietor, W. L. 

 Brock is the best pink mum, better 

 even than Chieftain. 



Miss Olga A. Tonner, who has built
