Visitors. 



B. Eschner and Mrs. Esehner, of 

 Philadelphia, passed through Chicago 

 September 3 on their way home from 

 a tour of Alaska and the Pacific coast, 

 occupying nine weeks. Although in the 

 earlier days of the M. Eice Co. Mr. 

 Eschner gained a personal acquaintance 

 with retail florists by calling on them 

 in nearly all parts of the United States, 

 this was his first trip to the coast and 

 he and Mrs. Eschner both found it 

 highly enjoyable. In passing through 

 Chicago they had only time between 

 trains for one brief call at The Eeview 

 office. 



Members of the Chicago trade were 

 visited last week by the following: Eli 

 Cross, Grand Eapids, Mich.; C. E. 

 Schaefer, of the La Crosse Floral Co., 

 La Crosse, Wis.

The Market. 



Business showed a decided improve- 

 ment last week, with a daily increase 

 in funeral orders. The opening of the 

 three leading theaters, on Labor day, 

 called for many loads of palms, baskets 

 of cut flowers and floral horseshoes. 

 The wedding orders for October are 

 already large and will require the en- 

 gagement of an extra force of men. 

 Another welcome addition to the fall 

 trade will be the combined openings of 

 twenty-eight firms and the principal de- 

 partment stores next week. For this 

 occasion the florists are well prepared. 

 Palms will predominate as decorations. 



Cut flowers are plentiful, especially 

 asters, which have become a glut in the 

 market. Gladioli sell well, as the sup- 

 ply is far less than the demand. Eoses 

 are fairly plentiful, with Eussell selling 

 best. Carnations have not yet made 

 their appearance. Dahlias are as yet 

 in poor supply. Golden Glow chrysan- 

 themums find little demand and must 

 go at low figures. Early chrysanthe- 

 mums are not readily salable in this 

 section. 



Club Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the retailers 

 was held in the Moore building, at 

 Fifth and Penn streets. Arthur S.

Smith delivered an address on "Brain 

 Life in Plants," and proved himself to 

 be an able speaker, holding the closest 

 attention of a large audience for an 

 hour and a half. The public was in- 

 vited and, as a result, standing room 

 w.as at a premium. 



The regular business of the associa- 

 tion will be transacted September 23. 

 Two meetings will be held each month.
