of the East but hope that styles are set 

 in New York; and among these is the 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., which is shipping 

 stock to Fleischman, Twenty-fifth and 

 Broadway, where the elect of the land 

 most do congregate. Thus far this sea- 

 son most of the shipments have been 

 green goods, but other stock has gone, 

 and last season frequent shipments of 

 Beauties were made. With the New 

 York wholesale district within five min- 

 utes' walk of Fleischman 's store! 



And even at that, a certain well-known 

 western florist whom we all like, last 

 fall had the nerve to send east for Beau- 

 ties in the expectation of taking a pre- 

 mium away from Chicago exhibitors. 



Various Notes. 



The fine weather of the past few days 

 lias not tended to help trade. Frost is 

 needed to put activity into society. Here 

 are the maximum temperatures on the 



'lays indicated: 



4tU 72 degrees 8th 83 degrees 



otli 80 degrees 9th 80 degrees 



i;th 66 degrees lOth 58 degrees 



7th 77 degrees llth 42 degrees 



We started September with a defi- 

 'iency of 250 degrees in heat for the 

 .^oar; now it is down to 49 degrees, which 

 ^^e are short. 



The Florists' Club will meet tonight 

 I'-d will undoubtedly adopt the change 

 -I by-laws so as to meet but once a 

 ^"onth hereafter, on the second Thurs- 

 ''■'y of each month. Officers will be 

 - octed. The slate nominated is an ex- 



Hent one and the year should be a 



- 'od one. Flower show matters will be 



P tonight. Music and refreshments are 



' 'w a regular feature of each meeting. 



J. A. Budlong may well claim to be 



the champion long distance bicycle rider 

 of the trade. He makes it a practice 

 to ride all the way to his old home near 

 Providence, B* I., every year. If he for 

 any reason fails of a trip one year, he 

 rides both down and back the next trip. 

 It is 1,150 miles by the shortest route. 

 His recent trip was the twelfth time 

 he has wheeled the distance. It takes 

 two to three weeks, according to the 

 condition of the roads. 



George Reinberg's place is said, by 

 recent visitors, to be in not only about 

 the best shape it has ever been but in 

 about the best shape of any in town. 



A novel cutflower holder is a good 

 seller with the E. F. "Winterson Co. It 

 consists of a low glass bowl in which 

 sits a cylinder of glass. Through the 

 cylinder are twenty-four small holes. Put 

 some water in the bowl, stick the stems 

 of the flowers in the holes, and there you 

 are, every woman her own florist. 



E. C. Amling says it makes him feel 

 quite well satisfied to hear people tell 

 how slow business \» to start up this un- 

 precedentedly warm fall, for he has 

 found October thus far quite a little 

 better than the same period in any other 

 year. 



Bassett & "Washburn are cutting one of 

 the largest crops of Beauties they have 

 ever had and Mr. Washburn says that 

 he never had the pleasure of handling 

 better stock. About twenty per cent are 

 extra long, with few shorts. 



Mrs. C. M. Dickinson underwent a 

 serious surgical operation Monday morn- 

 ing and is convalescing nicely. 



A. L. Bandall and family are at home 

 from their summer on their Michigan 

 farm. 



George M. Garland was recently grant- 

 ed a patent on an adjustable clip for 

 attaching purlins to their supports. 



All the parks are preparing free chrys- 

 anthemum shows for the first week in 

 November. 



N. J. Wietor says that in his judg- 

 ment Lieut. Peary is the coming white 

 carnation. Wietor Bros, are also cut- 

 ting good Burki and Bountiful. 



The A. L. Randall Co. is receiving 

 shipments of eastern orchids. They say 

 the cattleyas go nicely but that the 

 other varieties are not known or wanted. 



J. E. Jensen, of Jensen & Dekema, 

 spent last week in visiting St. Louis and 

 points in Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana. 

 He saw considerable good stock but re- 

 turned confirmed in the belief that his 

 firm's carnations, which are doing splen- 

 didly, are not surpassed anywhere. 



McKellar is receiving some especially 

 fine cattleyas just now. 



Muir had a big wedding decoration 

 Monday and Samuelson had a fine one 

 Wednesday. Trade is gradually getting 

 under way on the south side. 



H. Luedtke has had more or Jess 

 trouble the past two winters in heating 

 his plant at Maywood. Last season he 

 put in a new boiler but it didn't help, 

 so this season he is going to use hot 

 water under pressure. 



At the Commercial Club's banquet last 

 Saturday night the principal decoration 

 was a iauge floral reproduction of the 

 club's button. The guests numbered 

 1,017. 



President Roosevelt's visit to New Or- 

 leans and other southern points about 

 October 23 to 26 will bring a number 

 of additional orders to the Chicago mar-
