no reason to complain of the returns 

 this season. 



The decorations for the style show 

 at the Auditorium last week were han- 

 dled by George Weiland, of Evanston, 

 secretary of the Chicago Flower Grow- 

 ers' Association. 



The executive committee of the fall 

 flower show has appointed H. B. Ken- 

 nicott chairman of the press commit- 

 tee. He has selected to assist him: 

 R. E. Brenton, vice-chairman; James 

 Morton, E. Olinger and H. Nichols. An 

 active campaign will be waged under 

 the direction of Mr. Brenton. 



P. W. Peterson, superintendent of the 

 Thompson Carnation Co., states that it 

 is planned to run an excursion car to 

 Joliet during the November flower show 

 to give the visitors a chance to see the 

 largest exclusive carnation establish- 

 ment in the country and especially a 

 chance to see Aviator growing. 



A unique thing was done last week 

 when the Fleischman Floral Co. invest- 

 ed in about 200 lines of costly space 

 in The Tribune to tell the public that 

 the Japanese garden in its east window 

 has been sold for shipment in a 

 few days to Italy. Look quick! 



September 23, a party consisting of 

 Allie Zech and Matbias Mann, of Zech 



& Mann, and Ralph Bather, of Clinton, 

 la., motored to Maywood and visited 

 the ranges of Albert F. Amling and 

 William Amling. They report a pleas- 

 ant and highly interesting day. 



Sixty-six hundred miles in a Saxon 

 Six is the alliterative record of H. B. 

 Kennicott and Robert Brenton, of Ken- 

 nicott Bros. Co., who have been motor- 

 ing ninety days. 



In spite of adverse weather condi- 

 tions, Fred Schramm, of Park Ridge, 

 a member of the Chicago Flower Grow- 

 ers' Association, has at length finished 

 benching his carnations. 



By way of a reminder, N. P. Miller, 

 secretary of the executive committee 

 of the fall flower show, wishes to an- 

 nounce that each member, in good 

 standing, of the Chicago Florists' Club, 

 will receive for himself and one a sea- 

 son pass to the Chicago Grand Floral 

 Festival, to be held next November. 



There are alarming reports of stem- 

 rot among the carnations, the disease 

 appearing to be more prevalent than 

 ever before. Certain growers who 

 benched what they considered unusually 

 fine plants now find themselves with a 

 large part of their stock dead or dis- 

 eased and are up against a tough 

 problem. 



The recent advertising campaign 

 conducted in The Review by the Geo. 

 Wittbold Co., offering sales cooperation 

 to florists, has met with signal success. 

 The plan was originated by Payne Jen- 

 nings & Co. It will be enlarged upon 

 in the future. 



Within the week a number of local 

 growers have received Dutch bulbs that 

 came over ob the last trip of the Ryn- 

 dam, the boat that lost a couple of 

 its crew when they entered the hold 

 at Hoboken. The story was that the 

 men were overcome by the fumes of 

 the "lily" bulbs. However that may 

 be, the Chicago growers find some of 

 the stock badly heated. 



Visitors. 



Hugo Schroeter, Detroit correspond- 

 ent for The Review, was in town last 

 week, on his annual buying trip, the 

 two Schroeter stores, those of father 

 and son, now being operated in close 

 relationship. Mr. Schroeter comes to 

 town at about this date each year, look- 

 ing principally for good short and me- 

 dium Beauties. This time, to use his 

 expression, he "ran his legs off" with- 

 out getting all he wanted and used a 

 considerable number of Russell and 

 Milady instead.
