CHICAGO, ILL. 



WE ARE NOW JUST 

 COMING INTO FILL CROP 



and are prepared to fill regular standing or special orders for roses 

 and carnations in any quantity. If you want good Slock that 

 you know is fresh, order of us and be assured of supplies such as 

 can only come from 1,200,000 feet of modem glass. We are

who ia superintendent, reports that ev- 

 erything looks favorable for a big show 

 and it should be a financial success. The 

 executive board meets weekly and noth- 

 ing will be left undone to make this the 

 best and largest show the club has ever 

 held. 



The members of the Florists' Club 

 flhould not fail to attend the meeting 

 next Thursday afternoon, November 2, 

 in the new hall, southeast corner of 

 Grand and Shenandoah avenues, at 2 p. 

 m. This is a week in advance of the 

 regular meeting, owing to the flower 

 flbow. President Ammann states that a 

 meeting of the guarantors of the show 

 will also be held after the meeting and 

 all the guarantors are requested to be 

 present. This and the first meeting in 

 the new hall, with other important mat- 

 ters, should bring out a banner attend- 

 ance. 



Frank K. BalthLs, formerly with the 

 Missouri Botanic Garden, also member 

 of the club, is reporter for Bradstreet's 

 this city. His friends in the trade wish 

 him well. 



Invitations are out from the Mis^uri 

 Botanic Garden for the sixteenth annual 

 iMmquet to florists, nurserymen and mar- 

 ket gardeners, to be held at the Mercan- 

 tile Club, Wednesday night, November 8, 

 at 7 p. m. 



Fred Foster and wife left for Chicago 

 Monday night to attend the horse show 

 there this week. 



Vincent Gorley, of Grim & Gorley, on 

 Cass avenue, was lucky in having returned 

 to him a hundred-dollar pair of diamond 

 ear-rings belonging to his wife, which 

 were lost some two weeks ago, having 

 been placed in an old vest which was sold 

 to a second-hand dealer, 



Frank Fillmore's big rose house is in 

 fine shape for a heavy cut of Bride, 

 Maid, Perle and Wootton, which he calls 

 his "big four." The carnation houses, 

 too, are looking fine, especially Enchan- 

 tress. A fine lot of chrysanthemum 

 plants in pots were also seen. The 

 twelve geraniums which he will show at 

 the exhibition look good for first. A 

 visit to the store a few blocks west, where 

 young Frank and his wife are in charge, 

 prove this to be a handsomely fitted 

 retail store, where business should be 

 good all the year around. 



Bowling. 



The florists ' league team met defeat at 

 the hands of the jewelers' team. The 

 boys were clearly out of form and espe- 

 cially the captain, who only made 411 

 in the three games ; Meinhardt, 451 ; 

 Kuehn, 473; Ellison, 487, and Beneke, 

 498; average per man, 154. The stand- 

 ing of the team is as follows: 



Name. No. games. Total. Average. 



Ellison 15 2.563 169 



Beyer 15 2,523 168 



Meinhardt 15 2,483 166 



Kuehn 16 2.469 165 



Beneke 15 2,453 Iftl 



Total pins, 12,464; average per game, 831; 

 average per man, 167; high single game, 912; 

 high single score, K. Meinhardt, 220.

The Market. 



Business the past week was very grati- 

 fying and, if this keeps up, there will 

 be no kick coming this season. General 

 business also appears to be good, so 

 when the other trades are doing well the 

 florists get their share, most houses jei. 

 porting total sales ahead, of the same 

 period last year. 



The receipts of flowers were perhaps 

 not as large as the previous week. 

 American Beauties are arriving in some- 

 what limited quantities but the quality 

 is still good and they are selling well, 

 the supply hardly equaling the demand. 

 Brides and Maids show little change from 

 last report and some good stock is to be 

 had. There has been a good supply of 

 red roses, the Richmond now being re- 

 ceived in fairly large quantities, and 

 Liberty is sending in a generous cut. 



Carnations are coming in more heavily. 

 While some are still short of stem they 

 are good of bloom. Some fine Enchan- 

 tress are seen and in general the stock 

 averages good flowers and medium long 

 stems for the season. Fiancee is good; 

 in fact, there is enough of the better 

 grades of all kinds to go around, with 

 the exception of the red. 



The chrysanthemum is now seen in 

 all the shops. While the receipts are not 

 ne.irly as large as they will be next 

 month, not all colors being yet available, 

 the white and yellow being the best just 

 at present, the best grade brings $3 per

 very large quantities, the flower being 

 small and stem short, the price being 

 about 50 cents per hundred. Some valley 

 is being cut but only in limited quanti-

Some very good blooming plants also 

 are now to be seen, the Park Floral 

 Co. having some very fine Begonia Gloire 

 de Lorraine. 



Various Notes. 



R. S. Mahan, of the Alpha Floral Co., 

 is in St. Joseph's Hospital. An aggra- 

 vated case of appendicitis developed very 

 quickly, making necessary an operation 

 some ten days ago. At this writing he 

 is getting along nicely and it is expect- 

 ed he will return home shortly. 



J. A. Valentine and N. A. Benson took 

 advantage of the remaining few days of
