to Chicago cuts through the farm Peter 

 Reinberg bought a year or two ago, in- 

 tending some day to build greenhouses 

 there. Property owners in the vicinity, 

 including Wm. A. Peterson, are trying 

 to get the canal route changed. The 

 present course ruins Mr, Reinberg 's tract 

 for greenhouse purposes.

twin girls who had arrived at his house 

 that morning. The man at this end of 

 the wire couldn't hear very well, but 

 finally got the idea and sent the blanks, 

 with a list of the premiums in the seed- 

 ling classes. 



J. D. Thompson sends us the follow- 

 ing: "The J. D. Thompson Carnation 

 Co. extends a cordial invitation to the 

 members of the American Carnation So- 

 ciety, and all other visiting florists, to 

 visit their establishment at Joliet, 111., 

 during the week that the society meets 

 in Chicago in January, 1905. A special 

 train will be in waiting and transporta- 

 tion will be furnished to those desiring 

 to take the trip. The day and time of 

 train will be announced later." To this 

 Mr. Thompson adds that this invitation 

 was placed in the hands of Secretary 

 Herr at the S. A. F. convention at St. 

 Louis. 



A. M. Murdoch, of Pittsburg, is look- 

 ing for the address of Charles Ussings, 

 said to be employed by some Chicago 

 florist. 



E. H. Hunt is in receipt of a letter 

 from the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture giving To-bak-ine a very fine en- 

 dorsement. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. was so busy 

 with New Orleans shipments that they 

 went out to the greenhouses Sunday to 

 pack stock, the boxes being taken to 

 Grand Crossing to meet the train. 



John Assa, out in Bowmanville, has 

 his place entirely in Brides and Maids, 

 all carried-over stock, tied down and 

 making fine growth. He has every prom- 

 ise of a very prosperous season. The 

 stock goes to the A. L. Randall Co. 



The George Wittbold Co. has been ex- 

 perimenting with Impatiens Sultani. 

 They find it a good grower and very at- 

 tractive, but it drops its flowers as soon 

 as taken into a dwelling. 



Robert Northam welcomed a little 

 daughter a few days ago. 



Sam Pearce has been cutting Paper 

 "Whites for a week, and several other 

 growers are now in. 



Weiland & Risch are cutting Brides 

 and Maids to which they point with 

 pride. 



Vaughan & Sperry are getting some 

 very long-stemmed Chatenays. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is handling con- 

 siderable quantities of orchids, princi- 

 pally cattleyas. 



The new drainage canal from Evanston 



The Market. 



Business is now moving along at a 

 very lively gait and the wholesale 

 houses are selling out clean almost every 

 day. All classes and kinds of stock are 

 selling at advanced prices and things 

 are looking very encouraging. That Oc- 

 tober was not up to last year is the 

 general report, with but few exceptions, 

 but now there is a chance for Novem- 

 ber to make up what was lost in October. 



Great big exhibition mums are now 

 on the market. Some of them bring $4 

 per dozen and $3 is a common price, 

 with plenty of takers. The demand for 

 all kinds and grades of mums is first 

 class. Though the supply of small 

 whites is fairly large, there are not 

 enough to go around, 



Roses are coming heavier than any

other flower. Beauties are just about 

 equal to the demand, with good stock 

 advancing in price. Very good teas are 

 to be had at $6. Every week the sup- 

 ply of carnations increases and in most 

 cases the quality is right. But it is 

 still impossible to fill all orders. Car- 

 nations have been very backward this 

 year, but they will be coming in good 

 numbers just when the mum is past its 

 prime. Violets are now in good demand. 

 Some very good valley is coming in, also 

 narcissi, which are selling well. 



A Visit to Richmond. 



There were twelve florists in the party 

 that left this city last Thursday to visit 

 Bichmond. At Cottage Grove, Theo. 

 Bock joined. The train was met by 

 several of the Richmond boys, including 

 E. G. Hill, Fred Lemon and Chaa. 

 Knopf. After dinner a special car was 

 taken to Mr. Hill's plant. Mums were
