been arranged and complimentary tick-

 not over three months in arrears. The 

 business session will be called to order 

 at 7 o'clock. 



That his azaleas are on the way from 

 Belgium, via Holland, is the word re- 

 ceived by Peter Pearson, who reports 

 business good in all lines this fall. 



One of the most interesting of local 

 establishments is the water lily garden 

 of George Schwing, at Fifty-seventh 

 and Rockwell streets. Not only is the 

 collection one of the largest and finest 

 in the country, but Mr. Schwing is 

 credited with a more thorough knowl- 

 edge of the subject than anyone in this 

 section of the country. His flowers are 

 in such request that the retailers who 

 want them go to his place for them. 

 They have been a feature of the win- 

 dow displays of Lange and Mangel this 

 summer. 



September was not only better than 

 a year ago, according to Felix Eeich- 

 ling, manager of Peter Reinberg's 

 wholesale store, but was better than 

 September in 1913, or 1912, and Octo- 

 ber starts at an even better pace. 



After a trip of six weeks on the Pa- 

 cific coast, Robert Newcomb, of the 

 W. W. Barnard Co., is in town for a 

 few days. He reports booking a fine 

 line of business. 



According to Erne & Klingel, the 

 first violets of the season came from 

 Park Ridge September 8, but it was not 

 until this week that shipments assumed 

 any size. Thus far no double violets 

 have arrived from the east. 



"When seen at Kyle & Foerster's, 

 October 4, Frank Schramm said he was 

 indulging in a day's vacation now that 

 his two big Foley houses at Crystal 

 Lake are all planted up for the season. 

 He Las built two iron frame houses, 

 each 40x225, and planted them with 

 carnations, chrysanthemums and sweet 

 peas. He expecta to begin shipments 

 about November 1. 



Adam Zender, who is a director of 

 the Holton & Hunkel Co., was in Mil- 

 waukee last week on one of his peri- 

 odical trips. 



The dyeing department of the A. L. 

 Randall Co., occupying the third floor 

 at 72 and 74 East Randolph street, is 

 working night and day on ruscus and 

 rafSa. The latter is a specialty, little 

 handled by florists, of which the con- 

 cern sells great quantities, principally 

 to school supply stores. 



As a result of the announcement 

 made in The Review by the J. D. 

 Thompson Carnation Co., a number of 

 parties made up of growers of Chi- 

 cago and vicinity have made trips to 

 Joliet for the purpose of seeing the new 



scarlet carnation. Aviator. One of 

 these parties consisted of Allie Zech, 

 of Zech & Mann, and Walter Amling 

 and Martin Amling, both of Maywood. 

 Speaking of Aviator, Allie Zech says 

 it is undoubtedly one of the best car- 

 nations ever put out. There are varie- 

 ties with larger flowers, but nothing 

 that he has seen can compare with it 

 in prolificness. 



The latter part of last week, John 

 Kruchten, of the John Kruchten Co., 

 was in and about Milwaukee on busi- 

 ness. According to C. L. Sherer, ship- 

 ping business is unusually good. 



E. C. Amling does not come to the 

 store on Sundays, so that this year he 

 will miss the annual felicitations that 

 are extended October 10, when his desk 

 usually is decorated and his friends 

 wish him many happy returns of the 

 day. He will be 47. 



The wife of H. C. Mulder, proprietor 

 of the University Florist, 1121 East 

 Fifty-fifth street, is quite ill. As near 

 as can be ascertained, she is suflfering 

 from a complication of nervous dis- 

 orders. 



Although moving and entertaining do 

 not usually go together, C. L. Wash- 

 burn, of Bassett & Washburn, seems 

 to be making a success of both. Dur- 

 ing the last week he has been busy 

 moving the wholesale house from 133
