perimontiiig with the use of electric light 

 in accelerating growth in one of his 

 greenhouses. Jt is known to help in 

 growing cucumbers, but Mr. Reinberg 

 finds little in it for the rose grower. 



Leonard Kill, wlio attended tlie Kan- 

 sas (;ity ?how with Mrs. Kill, spent Sat- 

 urday and Sunday at Seneca, Kan., 

 where the latter has relatives, and re- 

 turned home .\.'onday. Peter Reinberg 

 also came back Monday for the council 

 meeting. He had been at Marion, U',, 

 and greatly increased the mortality 

 among quail. 



Fleischman had one of tlie largest or- 

 ders of the season for the decoration at 

 the semi-centennial of Mandel Bros, this 

 week. Kennicott Bros. Co. supplied 

 moi-t of the stock used. E. E. Pieser 

 states that the order delivered Sunday in- 

 cluded .*?,000 Bonnafl'on chrysanthenuuns 

 and those who visited the store will 

 agree with him that it was a fine, even 

 lot. ilr. Pieser says that they also de- 

 livered to Fleischman 1,000 strings of 

 asparagus for use in this decoration. 



X. J, "Wietor says he believes that the 

 outcome of the Beauty contest at Kan- 

 sas City has done his firm more good 

 than it would have obtained from any 

 place on tlie premium list. Word has 

 gone out that a mistake was committed 

 in scattering the Beauty exhibits so that 

 the judges could not see them side by 

 side. 



A. L. Randall Co. has announced that 

 January 1 it will enter the supply busi- 

 ness. This has been one of :\rr. Ran- 

 dall's pet projects for a long time. Tiiey 

 have a very large, well liglited room in 

 the rear of" their store, wliich will be de- 

 voted to the supply de[)artment, and they 



propose to become a factor in the supply 

 business of the United States.

 Thanksgiving crops. lie says ros-es and 

 mums will be abundant. 



.John P. Risch says the demand for 

 Killarney is growing every day. Tliey 

 get orders for it from far distant jioints. 

 Several retailers used it in tlieir decora- 

 tions at the local show. In a dark re- 

 ceptacle and under artificial liglit it 

 shows up to best advantage, and tlic 

 local call is increasing rapidly. 



John Degnan is again suffering with 

 blood poisoning in his face. 



Phil Shoup, of BudU)ng's, was at St. 

 Louis early this week and went thence 

 to Louisville. He is expected home to- 

 day. 



('. W. ^McKellar says the l)est stones 

 are using orchids much more freely than 

 they did last season. Oncidiums and cy- 

 pril)ediums are especially fine this Aveek. 



The A. Dietsch Co. say that this has 

 not only been their best season but that, 

 while they are still delivering material 

 for this year's houses, they have already 

 booked a number of orders for next 

 year. As a rule the larger tlie order 

 the earlier the material is wanted. 



The south park commissioners have an- 

 nounced that because of tlie very great 

 jirotest they have reconsidered their de- 

 termination to fence Washington and 

 .lackson parks. 



The trade feels an interest in tlie un- 

 exnected resignation of E. A. Palmer 

 as assistant general passenger agent of 

 the Wabash railroad. ^Ir. Palmer has 

 many friends in the trade and convention 

 delegations have always taken pleasure 



in riding with him wlienever he waa 

 going their way.

Chicago Show Notes. 



How could it liave been otiierwise tiian 

 a success — the date was November ' ' 7 

 (•(uiie 11. " 



One of the pleasures of the exhibition 

 was to see Edgar Sanders there. He said 

 he had never seen a flower show to com- 

 pare with this one. Mr, Sanders looks 

 very well, indeed, but is not strong. 



The attendance increased .steadily all 

 Ihe week. The weather following the 

 ')|iening day was ]deasaiit and the way 

 ilie crowds poured in was a pleasure to 

 I'veryone concerned. A Chicago show 

 never had better press work ami to the 

 I ews[(apers a large jiiirt of the sncess is 

 due. 



The Chicago ("ity Railway should be 

 good for a very fine silver cup for next 

 year's show at the Coliseum. 



It was greatly regretted that E. C. Hill 

 was not able to be present. That enthusi- 

 astic showman would have been delighted. 



Admitting children at 10 cents on Sat- 

 urday morning brought out ',VM> kids. 

 One lad showed up at 7 :lii) and waited 

 an hour and a half for the doors to open. 



The Coliseum is an ideal ])lace for a 

 show. ]iesides floor space it has separate 

 oflices for manager and treasurer, with 

 ;i safe for tlie latter. .\mj)lc police fa- 

 cilities are furnished and the City Rail- 

 way has a car starter in front of the 

 building to handle the passing cars, Avhich 

 Btop in front of the door.
