ThcWecIdy Rorists' Review. 



NOTEMBBB 9, 1905. 



A Quistenin£. 



John Monsou, of Minneapolis, has de- 

 cided to distribute his new light pink 

 seedling rose the coming season. The 

 rose has been seen at a number of ex- 

 hibitions and is well known and liked, on 

 the order of La Detroit and Wellesley. 

 The rose was christened for Miss Kate 

 Moulton with appropriate ceremonies at 

 a supper at the Union Wednesday night. 

 E. H. Hunt will disseminate the rose. 



Various Notes. 



August Lange has just closed a lease 

 on a store at 40 Madison street, in the 

 Heyworth building, to which he expects 

 to remove before January 1. The store 

 is splendidly located and he will put in 

 entirely new fixtures. This is almost 

 on the site of the Anderson Floral 

 Co. 's store which went out of business 

 a year or so ago. 



Bassett & "Washburn, with their new 

 heating ptent, have a vacuum system 

 designed by Otto KroescheU. A test 



Xs made ^^^st Sunday, during which 

 am was circulated through 100,000 

 feet of pipe on five pounds steam pres- 

 sure. Mr. Washburn states that their 

 present consumption of coal is from 

 sixty to seventy tons per day. They 

 burn the Illinois product. 



The Brant & Noe Floral Co. has in- 

 creased its capital stock from $40,000 to 

 $100,000. 



A number of the growers are on the 

 anxious seat because of railway block- 

 ades, which are preventing the deliv- 

 ery of coal as rapidly as they would like. 

 The coal men and railroad people are 

 all urging large consumers to take in as 

 much coal as they can get in anticipa- 

 tion of freight blockades, labor troubles, 

 etc. 



Weiland & Eisch report that their 

 crop of Killarney is just about a week 

 too late for the local exhibition. They 

 say that they will ha'\fe a magnificent 

 crop with a few days of sun and ex- 

 pect to stage Killarney at Indianapolis 

 and Kansas City next week. 



If you are a retail florist ask C. M. 

 Dickinson to take you into the red room 

 at Hunt's. It is especially fitted up 

 > with Christmas bells, and it makes as 

 handsome a showing as could be de- 

 sired. The Hunt bell is made of curled 

 crepe paper and the larger sizes are 

 fitted witfi"^ electric lights. 



The Chicago Rose Co. is sendin'g its 

 first cut to the E. F. Wintersftn Co. 



F. F. Benthey states that they have 

 a call for fully four times as many 

 Killarney as they are able to supply. 



C. M. Dickinson, of Hunt's, returned 

 Saturday from a two weeks' trip to 

 New York. He was pleased to find 

 Mrs. Dickinson very much improved in 

 health. She suffered a severe surgical 

 operation just before his departure. 



Wietor Bros, count on sending a fine 

 lot of stock to the Kansas City show 

 next week. N. J. Wietor will go to 

 stage the stock and Leonard Kill ex- 

 pects to go to look after the Peter Rein- 

 berg exhibits. Poehlmann, Bassett & 

 Washburn, Weiland & Risch, Benthey- 

 Coatsworth Co. and others will also be 

 represented. 



Simon Grochowski, 1342 Wolfram 

 street, does a local trade, with a little 

 wholesale business in Boston ferns. The 

 greenhouses will be remodeled in the 

 spring. 



Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday 

 morning the market felt the effect of

Sinner Bros, are having a very suc- 

 cessful season, at least so far as quality 

 is . concerned, but the cut the past two 

 weeks has not been what they would 

 like; however, they think it insures a 

 Brst-class cut for Thanksgiving. 



E. C. Amling says that "the other

The Market 



The feature of the market this week 

 the increased demand for violets, 

 chiefly due to the football game of next 

 Saturday. The supply is rather scarce; 

 prices in consequence have advanced. The 

 other items on the list have not shared 

 in the prosperity of the violet. Chrysan- 

 themums are suffering from an over- 

 supply of fine blooms, the medium grade 

 flowere bringing better prices in propor- 

 tion than the fancy. Enguehard is
