 the other side, which now are arriving, to 

 have the book ready for the press. W. 

 W. Eandall says they are more than 

 pleased with the results in the supply de- 

 partment, particularly its effect on the 

 cut flower end of the business, to which 

 it every day is bringing new customers. 



A. V. Jsu^on & Son, who gave up 

 roses to devote all their attention to 

 mushrooms, have had a change of heart. 

 They used to give, if not a frosty, at 

 least a cool reception to visitors seeking 

 information as to the mushroom industry, 

 but now the Jackson Mushroom Farm is 

 advertising in farmers ' weeklies : "I am 

 the largest grower in America. Ten 

 years' experience enables me to give 

 practical instruction in the business worth 

 many dollars to you. No matter what 

 your occupation is or where you are lo- 

 cated, here is an opportunity to acquire 

 a thorough knowledge of this paying 

 business. Send for free book giving par- 

 ticulars and information, how to start, 

 cost, etc." 



The Tribune last Sunday contained a 

 picture two pages wide of the block on 

 the north side of West Madison street, 

 between Leavitt and Oakley, with a 

 write-up to the effect that a person might 

 be bom, live to a ripe old age, and die 

 there, without having to go off the block 

 for any of the luxuries or necessities of 

 life, George Asmus, at the Schiller place, 

 being located there to supply the flowers.

 new Englewood branch of the South Side

 stands.

lishment of the late F. J. Neiglick, on 

 North Clark street, pending its sale or 

 lease. 



George Beinberg is making heavy cuts 

 of Beauties. By far the larger propor- 

 tion are 3-foot stems and up, medium 

 lengths being hardly up to the demand. 



C. W. McKellar reports Cattleya labi- 

 ata in fine crop, the color being espe- 

 cially good. He is having constructed 

 a special case for the storage and dis- 

 play of orchids, valley and similar stock.

 ters this week, selling at $1.50 per hun- 

 dred, which were glaidly disposed of at

 done especially well at J. A. Budlong's 



and this year is no exception to the

 houses on Monday.

 roses and is cutting good stock.

 daughter of Henry Zender and the niece 

 of Peter Beinberg, Adam Zender and 

 Leonard Eall. 



E. C. Amling reports an exceptionally 

 heavy demand for asparagus and smilax 

 for fall decorations, possibly stimulated 

 by the fact that wild smilax has become 

 scarce since the storms in Alabama. 



Mike Becker, on North Lincoln street, 

 is one of th6 growers who pursues the 

 even tenor of his ways year after year. 

 His stock is in its usual good shape this 

 fall and he expects a rather better sea- 

 son than usual.

 later in business with Harry Fisher at 

 Kalamazoo, has been added to the force 

 at Bassett & Washburn's, where busi- 

 ness is first-class.

 pleased with the start.

 tumn foliage decorative material used 

 for Marshall Field's fall opening, in- 

 cluding the large baskets of artificial 

 fruit. 



Miss Martha Gunterberg, who sells 

 for the Guardian Angel Orphan Asylum, 

 and does it well, has moved her stand in 

 the Flower Market to the location for- 

 merly occupied by Johnson & Carlson. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 has returned from his trip to New 

 York. 



Schroeder & Meyer opened in the 

 Flower Market during the current week, 

 handling carnations. Mr. Schroeder has 

 charge of the selling end.
