to make; that smoking in the exhibition 

 be strictly prohibited. Those in the 

 trade are the only offenders. 



At a meeting on Tuesday many details 

 were completed. The poster will be out 

 in good season and more generally dis- 

 tributed than usual. The show is already 

 getting good press work and will be 

 well advertised. 



Various Notes. 



The Chicago Chronicle for October 11 

 says: "Chicago is the greatest flower 

 market in the world and its twenty-eight 

 wholesale cut flower houses handle over 

 $5,000,000 worth of cut flowers alone 

 during the year." That is altogether 

 too good to be true. There are just 

 seventeen places in Chicago where cut 

 flowers are wholesaled. One day this 

 summer three well versed wholesalers 

 were talking of the volume of business 

 done the past year and each wrote down 

 an estimate on each house. The high- 

 est total . was $1,370,000, the lowest 

 $1,258,000 at wholesale value. The aver- 

 age of the three totals was $1,301,000 

 and was probably not far wrong for the 

 year ending July 1, 1905. Because of 

 increased glass it should naturally be 

 larger this year. 



E, C. Amling says that it is something 

 surprising the way the use of asparagus 

 strings has broadened since their char- 

 acter and usefulness has become known 

 through the country. Mr. Amling has 

 had much to do with making them 

 known, but possibly the fact that a 

 never failing supply is offered has had 

 as much as anything to do with it. 



The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, has 

 taken space with the E. F. Winterson 

 Co. and opened last week with a large 

 shipment of fine Estelle chrysanthemums, 

 carnations and miscellaneous stock. It is 

 Manager Hartshorne's intention to pur- 

 chase in this market such stock as they 

 do not grow at Joliet, to supply their 

 shipping trade, which will be carried 

 on from the Joliet greenhouses as here- 

 tofore. Their stock is reported as all 

 looking very good. 



L. Coatsworth, of the Benthey-Coats- 

 worth Co., thinks they have a good 

 thing in sight in the new pink rose, 

 Joe Hill, plants of which were obtained 

 last season from the E. G. Hill Co.

Mr. Coatsworth intends going to New 

 Castle and Bichmond this week. 



Miss Annie K. LufFman, who was with 

 Albert Fuchs and his successor, Henry 

 Koropp, left last week for Spokane, 

 Wash., where she will be with Miss Eose 

 Wright. Miss Luffman is widely known 

 in the trade as for several years she 

 has been Mr. Stewart's assistant in 

 charge of the secretary's office at the 

 S. A. F. conventions. 



Wm. T. Buckley, of Springfield, 111., 

 and Miss Margaret Dwyer came to Chi- 

 cago October 11 and were quietly mar- 

 ried. 



Nick Miller, formerly of Wilmette, 

 who has for some time been with John 

 Evans, at Richmond, Ind., has returned 

 to take up the old work. 



H. Luedtke, the Maywood carnation 

 grower, says that he is more than 

 pleased with the way the new Fiancee- 

 pink carnation, Wm. Penn, has acted 

 thus far in the season; fine grower; 

 very free bloomer. 



Sam Pieser is officiating at the cash- 

 ier's window during the absence of G. 

 E, Pieser, secretary of the Kennicott 

 Bros. Co., who is in New York for two 

 weeks. 



Wietor Bros, are cutting some very 

 good mums. They have the largest list 

 of varieties of any grower in these parts. 



Bassett & Washburn are very well 



pleased with the new white chrysanthe- 

 mum, Mme. Clementine Touset. Mr. 

 Washburn says he thinks it will prove 

 to be our best commercial white. 



Weiland & Eisch are highly pleased 

 with the new Wellesley rose. They are 

 just beginning to cut good long stems in 

 quantity. The color is fine and the 

 flower has great substance. 



W. N. Eudd is sending the Winterson 

 Co. excellent blooms of Midoct, one of 

 Elmer Smith's seedling chrysanthe- 

 mums. It is a fine deep pink and espe- 

 cially valuable because so early. 



W. E. Lynch, in E. H. Hunt's mar- 

 ket report, says that although sales foot 

 up a good total, customers buy in a 

 ' * lackadaisical ' ' manner. Good word, 

 that. The dictionary says it means lan- 

 guid or listless. 



- Good old Mrs. Eobinson is not yet out 

 of the race. Vaughan & Sperry have 

 had this variety this week in shape not 

 beaten by any white chrysanthemum in 

 the market. 



The United States Express Company 

 will begin to operate over the Pere Mar- 

 quette Eailroad November 1. 



Jacksonville, III. — Harry Hoffman, 

 who has been with Joseph Heinl & Sons 

 for several years, will open a flower de- 

 partment at Kuechler's drug store.
