Mention The Review when you write. 



growers have decreased their planting of 

 Lawson to make additional room for 

 Enchantress. 



No Wonder. 



A visitor at E. C. Amling's the other 

 day remarked to that gentleman: "That 

 was a pretty good picture of you in 

 the automobile in the Beview the other 

 day." "So you, too, thought that was 

 me," replied Mr. Amling; "several have 

 said the same thing." "I don't won- 

 der," said the visitor; "it sure looked 

 like you. ' ' 



When Greek Meets Greek. 



Edward Lauten is the proprietor of 

 the Stewart Floral Co., conducting a 

 stand in the rotunda of the Stewart 

 building, with a showcase on the side- 

 walk. A short time ago Frank Deme- 

 tros opened a flower store in the base- 

 ment of the adjoining building and set 

 a showcase alongside of Lauten 's. Since 

 then there has been a war of the roses 

 which became so offensive to 'pedestrians 

 that the police removed both showcases. 

 Lauten had a permit and his case was 

 returned, whereupon Demetros put up a 

 sign effectually covering one side of 

 Lauten 's case. The trouble still is on. 



The G>al Qutestion. 



J. P. Hisch says that to many growers 

 the question of coal supplies is taking 

 on importance. Those who made con- 

 tracts months ago are told that lack of 

 cars is causing delay in delivery. Many 

 large growers who had their sheds filled 

 a year ago have only a few cars on hand 

 at present. 



Various Notes. 



J. L. Baskc recently has opened an at- 

 tractive store at 177 Jackson boulevard, 

 in the new building occupied by the 

 Tom Jones chop house, a resort fre- 

 quented by the free spenders. The store 

 is fitted up in first-class style and with 

 excellent taste. Mr. Raske has had a 

 stand in the Board of Trade building for 

 fifteen years and this will be continued. 



Peter dinger has returned to Cincin- 

 nati after a visit here and with relatives 

 at Aurora. He has charge of the sell- 

 ing end of the business of Weiland & 

 Olinger. 



Jos. Foerster spent Monday morning 



at the establishment of George Keinberg, 

 whose selling department he manages, 

 and came back to town with fresh en- 

 thusiasm. He is confident they are to 

 break all records this season. 



The E. F. "Winterson Co. has under- 

 taken the re-arrangement of its entire 

 floor space. It will give needed room 

 in the quarters devoted to the cut flower 

 department. The oflSce is being moved 

 to the south side of the store. 



The retailers all had orders for pre- 

 sentation pieces for the opening of the 

 Brevoort hotel September 22. Hannah 

 & Hogg are the proprietors. 



Sinner Bros, have got well into the 

 new season's crop. The Brides and 

 Maids now coming are of excellent 

 length for this date. The Maids have 

 fine color. 



A. L. Bandall will return from his 

 Michigan fruit farm on Friday to take 

 up the season 's work. W. W. Bandall 

 then goes to West Baden with his wife 

 for two weeks. He spent Sunday at 

 St. Joe. 



Otto Goerisch, salesman for the A. L. 

 Randall Co., and Miss Lillian Giggel 

 are to be married October 16. 



Henry Payne, at Hinsdale, who once 

 was the largest producer of adiantum 

 for this market, has discarded that spe- 

 cialty. He grows largely of asparagus, 

 both plumosus and Sprengeri, but has 

 much of his space in carnations. 



Krachten & Johnson have calcimined 

 and repainted their place and are in 

 first-class shape. They are well pleased 

 with the results of the summer. 



Henry Rowe has two semi-circular out- 

 door wall cases, one at each side of 

 the store on Monroe street. They add 

 much to the showing, as each usually 

 contains a vase of fine Killarney. 



E. H. Hunt's force is busy this week 

 taking in large shipments of supplies 

 from Japan. They include a fine line 

 of inexpensive ferneries and other plant 

 receptacles. 



C. M. Dickinson was taken ill on his 

 way downtown ^Monday morning and 

 compelled to return home. 



E. Francis, salesman for Scheiden & 

 Schoos in the Flower Market, has taken 

 on consignors of roses, his firm's place 

 being devoted entirely to carnations. 



Henry A. Vent and Miss Mary V. 



Garretson were married at De Kalb, 111., 

 September 20. They will reside at 137 

 Bowmanville avenue. 



Bassett & Washburn complain that 

 many of the lily bulbs received this 

 year in the cases of large sizes are real- 

 ly three-nosed bulbs and not at all in the 

 Bassett & Washburn class. The scarcity 

 of large bulbs has caused the packers 

 to ship stock they would not other- 

 wise ventuffe to offer to growers. Mr. 

 Washburn says the call for Beauties at 

 present so far exceeds the call for other 

 ite.iis that they do not sell Beauties ex- 

 cept to those who take something else as 

 well. 



The rain last week caused the post- 

 ponement of an expedition planned for 

 Friday by a number of retailers and 

 wholesalers to the establishment of the 

 Chicago Rose Co., which is near the 

 racetrack at Libertyville. 



A. L. Vaughan writes from the Hud- 

 son river violet district that the stdck 

 there is looking fine and growers all 

 are interested in the Chicago market. 



J. B. Deamud Co. again is in the 

 plant business, this time with Boston 

 ferns. 



Matt Mann is sending Zech & Mann 

 regular shipments of lilies from cold 

 storage bulbs which are of most satis- 

 factory quality. 



So far as records show, Wietor Bros, 

 are first in with white chrysanthemums 

 this year. It is a new sort called Octo- 

 ber Frost. 



Philip C. Schupp, who manages the 

 selling end of the J. A. Budlong busi- 

 ness, says trade has increased decidedly 

 in the past fortnight, being rather ahead 

 of the supply in many lines. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. will put In an 

 artificial refrigerating plant at the 

 greenhouses, enabling them to do much 

 of their regular shipping from there. 



F. F. Benthey, of the Benthey-Coats- 

 worth Co., says the last week has seen 

 a decided improvement in the sale for 

 roses. Usually it is carnations which 

 most feel the benefit of the passage of 

 asters. 



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

 says cooler weather is much appreciated. 

 Their records show we had frost Sep- 

 tember 20 last year. 



Word comes from Milwaukee that
