is being shipped all over the country 

 by the local supply dealers. 



The Flower Growers' Market is tak- 

 ing on new activity and at the same 

 time the season's fresh coat of white 

 'paint. 



Edgar Sanders celebrated his seventy- 

 ninth birthday anniversary yesterday. 

 There were, as usual, a number of visit- 

 ors, as several make it a point to set 

 apart October 10 for a call on this pop- 

 ular pioneer florist. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 says they have been obliged to turn 

 down orders for probably 5,000 chrysan- 

 themums more than they have been able 

 to supply in the last fortnight. 



Fletcher James, son-in-law of George 

 Wittbold, has resigned his position as 

 carnation foreman for the George Witt- 

 bold Co. and has bought out Mrs. Web- 

 er's plant at Des Plaines, 111. The 

 houses contained chrysanthemums, vio- 

 lets and miscellaneous stock, but Mr. 

 James shortly will put the place in 

 carnations. 



Jos. Foerster, who has charge of Geo. 

 Eeinberg's selling department, says that 

 in his opinion there has been much su- 

 perheated atmosphere employed in the 

 exploitation of the Killarney rose. They 

 have it in good shape, but do not find 

 the buyers blocking the door in their 

 rush to get it. 



The retailers have been calling on Mc- 

 Eellar this week for large quantities of 

 Dendrobium formosum for bridal bou- 

 quets. He has received in the last few 

 days several shipments of this orchid as 

 fine as ever were seen in this market. 



N. J. Wietor is enthusiastic over Oc- 

 tober Frost, the early white chrysanthe- 



mum with which they have been doing 

 80 well in the last fortnight. It is the 

 best of the early whites and all that 

 they have cut readily have brought $4 

 per dozen. Mr. Wietor says they have 

 received many requests for large quanti- 

 ties of stock plants, but that they will 

 reserve the stock for their own use next 

 season. 



Leonard Kill is the fortunate possess- 

 or of two boxes for the series of na- 

 tional championship baseball games. 



Kruchten & Johnson state that they 

 will shortly be in need of all their space 

 for chrysanthemums. One grower ad- 

 vises them that he will have 200 dozens 

 for All Saints' day, November 1. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. received 4,000 as- 

 ters October 8. Much of the stock was 

 excellent and all of it readily salable be- 

 cause of the diflSculty of finding good 

 carnations. 



The Florists' Club meets tonight. 



There was a meeting of the executive 

 committee of the Horticultural Society 

 of Chicago at the Auditorium Monday 

 evening, at which flower show prepara- 

 tions were forwarded. 



N. J. Bupp spent last week in Mil- 

 waukee. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co is at it again. 

 At the state fair at Springfield last week 

 they made practically a clean sweep, 

 capturing all the firsts on roses and 

 carnations except one or two won by 

 H. W. Buckbee, of Rockford. August 

 Poehlmann staged the stock. 



J. A. Budlong is cutting heavily of 

 Bridesmaid, much heavier than Bride. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. reports a 

 good sale for field-grown carnation 



plants. An advertisement in the Re- 

 viEV? which cost them $2.10 brought or- 

 ders for about $100 worth of stock. 



H. N. Bruns says that he has on hand 

 a good many less cold storage valley 

 than he used last year in the period 

 wliich must elapse before the new crop 

 can be flowered. As the demand for 

 valley is increasing right along, he will 

 not be surprised to see a shortage and 

 high prices for good valley in this mar- 

 ket in November and December. 



Percy Jones visited the Des Plaines 

 growers last Sunday and says stock is 

 looking well with dll. 



E. H. Hunt's say that while not so 

 many Chatenay are grown as last season, 

 still there are enough for all require- 

 ments. 



Among the week 's visitors were : F. H. 

 Kramer, Washington, D. C, on his way 

 home from Mexico; P. S. Amstutz, of 

 P. S. & I. B. Amstutz, Toledo, 0. 



WlLLlAMSPOET, Pa. — Evenden Bros, 

 are pushing work on one of the largest 

 and most up-to-date houses they ever 

 have added to their place. 



Battle Creek, Mich. — Henry Burt 

 has purchased the entira stock of the 

 old Sanatorium greenhouse, thereby add- 

 ing considerably to his present supply. 

 He is building an addition to his green- 

 house. 



Lawrence, Kan. — C. M. & S. L. 

 Luther have been established for fifteen 

 years and have a large local and ship- 

 ping trade. They have 9,000 feet of 

 glass and plan the addition this fall of 

 a house for palms and ferns.
