with Brant & Noe, has just concluded 

 the purchase of the old established 

 greenhouses of Jacob Shartzer, Salem, 

 Va. This plant was established by Mr. 

 Shartzer some twenty years ago, on a 

 small scale, which by industry and skill 

 he has built up until it is now one of 

 the largest in the state. Mr. Curran, 

 who takes possession at once, will be 

 ably assisted by his son-in-law, J. "E, 

 Simpson, a grower of no small ability. 



High Ridee Gets Cheaper Water. 



The growers at High Eidge are 

 greatly pleased at the action of the City 

 of Chicago in taking possession, Sep- 

 tember 13, of the plant of the Rogers 

 Park "Water Co. The growers are in- 

 terested that tlie quality of the water is 

 improved, for all make more or less 

 personal use of it, but of no small im- 

 portance is the fact that the old rate 

 was 25 cents per 1,000 gallons and the 

 city's rate is 10 cents. It will make 

 quite a saving in water bills. As there 

 promises to be a fight over the city's 

 manner of taking over the water plant, 

 the growers doubtless will withhold pay- 

 ment until the controversy is settled. 



Various Notes. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 started Monday afternoon for a fort- 

 night's trip through the east, his first 

 stop being the violet country. 



Scheiden & Schoos opened their whole- 

 sale store in the Flower Growers' Mar- 

 ket Monday morning. E. Francis is 

 manager and reports business quite sat- 

 isfactory for a start. Their principal 

 stock is carnations. 



C. M. Dickinson, manager of E. H. 

 Hunt's, owns a five-acre island in the 



Georgian bay district of Canada. It is 

 not giving him as much trouble as 

 Uncle Sam has had with his island pos- 

 sessions, but he is nevertheless willing to 

 part with it. 



Albert Amiing, at Maywood, is having 

 trouble with cutworms in his asparagus 

 house. 



Just a quorum was present at the 

 club meeting last Thursday evening. 

 The business consisted of the auditing of 

 bills. W. K. Wood occupied the chair, 

 L. H. "Winterson, secretary, being the 

 only officer present. 



A. T. Pyfer has been appointed man- 

 ager of the Chicago Carnation Co., 

 Joliet, to succeed the late James Harts- 

 home. Mr. Pyfer has been connected 

 with the concern for some time. 



E. F. Winterson Co. is building a 

 large dust-proof display case for baskets 

 and other easily damaged supplies. 



J. B. Deamud has returned from his 

 eastern trip. He spent a few days on 

 his farm at Cairo, Mich. 



Weiland & Eisch are already cutting 

 heavily of Killarney rose. 



L. Coatsworth returned Monday from 

 his trip to Canada. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is begin- 

 ning to cut new rose stock in quantity. 

 They grow but four varieties. Bride and 

 Maid, Killarney and Eichmond. 



Ed. Enders and John Enders lost their 

 father Wednesday, September 12. He 

 was 71 years of age. 



August Poehlmann says that their in- 

 crease in glass area this season was ap- 

 proximately forty per cent, but that he 

 expects the gross sales as compared with 

 last season to increase to a greater ex- 

 tent, as the stock is in much better con- 



dition at this date than it was at the 

 same time a year ago. 



E. E, Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 returned last Friday from a three weeks' 

 trip east, following the Dayton conven- 

 tion. Part of his time was spent in 

 Canada. 



H. F. Halle is contemplating opening a 

 branch store on the north side. He owns 

 the building occupied on West Madison 

 street and holds the land under a ninety- 

 nine years ' lease. 



O. P. Bassett, of Bassett & Washburn, 

 says he is taking the fullest advantage 

 of the fine autumn weather in his effort 

 to wear out his automobile. He avers 

 that when this machine is ready for the 

 scrap heap he is going to quit automo- 

 biling — but no one believes he means it. 



Alvah Sawyer, son of A. A. Sawyer, 

 the Austin aster grower, on Tuesday re- 

 turned to the University of Wisconsin. 



H. N. Bruns states that he will force 

 fewer Dutch bulbs this season, and de- 

 vote more space to valley. 



Kolman Bros., tobacconists, will 

 branch out in the north store of the ad- 

 dition to the Fisher building as soon as 

 it is completed. One of their new de- 

 partments will be devoted to cut flowers. 



Peter Eeinberg's store is baseball 

 headquarters, for Leonard Kill is what 

 they call a "fan." Captain Chance, 

 •of the champion Chicago team, is one 

 of his most intimate friends, and three- 

 fingered Brown, whose real name is 

 Mordecai, is his chum. Last Sunday 

 Brown had Mr. Kill and A. C. Spencer 

 out for a dinner before the last game 

 Chicago played at home this season.

 Beauties and roses, and have chrysan-
