He doesn't mean the trade will have 

 no troubles, but that they will be only 

 the usual ones, in place of the unprece- 

 dented combinations of circumstances 

 that have prevailed for almost a year. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co. is throw- 

 ing out a house of Beauties to get 

 space for propagating. O. Johnson says 

 there is a good demand for the dis- 

 carded Beauty plants. 



Fred Stollery says business is not 

 80 good but that it might be better, 

 but that it is not so bad but that it 

 might be a whole lot worse, which prob- 

 ably is a good description of the gen- 

 eral situation. 



The Wabash avenue entrance to the 

 store of Weiland & Risch was closed 

 last week, by the landlord's compliance 

 with city building regulations. The 

 firm was not inconvenienced, as a bet- 

 ter entrance had been arranged on the 

 Randolph street side, from the same 

 stairway that affords access to the 

 stores of Zech & Mann and the Batavia 

 Greenhouse Co. 



November 25 Peter Reinberg resigned 

 as president of the school board. De- 



cember 12 he will assume his duties 

 as president of the county commis- 

 sioners. His business affairs are so 

 well organized that they bother him 

 not at all, his only present concern 

 being the office-seekers, for he has 

 many important appointments to make. 



Henry Wehrman, at Maywood, has 

 a fine lot of late pompons that he 

 figures should pay well. 



This week W. H. Amling is cutting 

 the last of 18,000 mums at Maywood. 

 He will follow them with Zvolanek's 

 Spencer sweet peas. 



A. I. Simmons says that business 

 shows a good increase since he obtained 

 his better facilities on West Sixty- 

 third street, but that the gain has not 

 been in funeral work. 



Mustaches have become the fashion 

 with the forces of the E. Wienhoeber 

 Co., but the boys deny it is a race. 



Peter Reinberg is growing sweet peas 

 at the farm range this season and 

 made the first pick November 22. 



Paul Swanson, who sold out his 

 property on West Forty-seventh street, 

 has again gone into the mushroom busi- 



ness, this time at 6530 Norwood Park 

 avenue. He has finished two houses 

 each 15x70 and picked about 200 

 pounds from them last week. Two 

 more houses are under way. He uses 

 wild spawn. As a rule mushroom 

 growers have had poor success this 

 season and prices have been quite fair 

 for all first-class stock. 



N. J. Wietor points to some good 

 Carnation Philadelphia with the re- 

 mark that it is giving good satisfaction 

 as a shipper. 



A visit to the store of Harry Rowe, 

 on Wabash avenue, found W. H. Beau- 

 mont, formerly with O. J. Friedman, 

 serving his old customers there. Mr. 

 Beaumont is one of the oldtime florists 

 in Chicago, having started in 1868. 

 He is slowly recovering from an acci- 

 dent of several years ago, when a sign 

 fell and crushed his leg. 



Jack Byers is back in town, after a 

 sojourn at Galesburg 



The Paper Specialties Co., of Mari- 

 nette, Wis., has patented and is manu- 

 facturing a florists' box that is a com- 

 bination of novelty, style, neatness and
