cent to Belmont, a station on the C. B. 

 & Q. Ey., about one mile west of Down- 

 ers Grove. His plans for building ex- 

 tensive greenhouses there are not fully 

 matured, but will probably take shape 

 early next year. He will grow the same 

 class of stock that J» F, Kidwell & Bro. 

 produce so successfully in their present 

 location. The land purchased has excel- 

 lent soil. Over 100 acres are now cov- 

 ered with a fine bluegrass sod. 



Leopold Koropp has incorporated his 

 business under the monomial title, Ko- 

 ropp. The papers filed at Springfield last 

 Saturday name.L. Koropp, G. J. Weir 

 and A. E. Wilson as incorporators. The 

 capital stock authorized is $20,000 and 

 the corporation is permitted to deal as 

 florists and stationers. 



George Keinberg's big ice-box is prov- 

 ing to be all that was hoped for it, main- 

 taining an even temperature with small 

 ice consumption. One room of the box, 

 for Beauty, Bride and Maids, is.ri^n at 

 about 46 degrees ; the room for Rich- 

 mond, Killarney and Chatenay about 42 

 degrees. The policy here is to cut the 

 stock tight and always have something 

 in the box. 



Sam Pearce has a large stock of fine 

 poinsettias. His other stock looks well. 

 The late cold spell caught some of his 

 exposed geraniums, as it probably did 

 those of other growers. He has 100,000 

 Dutch bulbs ready for boxing. 



The Butler Floral Co. has been having 

 a successful sale of birchbark jardinieres 

 filled with selaginellas. 



B. Rubel, at Fleischman's Railway 

 Exchange store, reports steadily increas- 

 ing business and the need of more 

 skilled help. A good trade also is being 

 done at the North State street branch, 

 where L. R. Bohanon presides. 



At Eaton's, on Jackson boulevard, they 

 make a feature of unique window dis- 

 plays. A recent one took advantage of 

 the baseball excitement to attract atten- 

 tion to a special sale of dollar boxes. A 

 diamond was laid out in the window, 

 with soil and sand, and figures wearing 

 the regulation uniforms of Chicago's 

 two champion teams. 



Now that the world's championship is 

 settled, we again can get down to busi- 

 ness. Not all were florists who attended 

 the games, but there always were a few

in sight. And those who didn't go every 

 day talked of little else as they scoured 

 the market to find much-needed stock. 



For several nights Bassett & Wash- 

 burn lost Beauties in their cold cellar at 

 Hinsdale, gnawed off just at the top of 

 the pot in which they were standing. As 

 the room was rat-proof except for the 

 drain, this was plugged at the lower end 

 and flooded, when out popped a muskrat. 

 C. L. Washburn says there were lively 

 times in the cellar right away and, as he 

 and Andrew Benson had the job in 

 hand, it requires no stretch of the imagi- 

 nation to believe it. 



J. W. Lyons, the florist mayor of Bel- 

 videre, was in town Saturday disposing 

 of some fine, emerald-hued bonds of his 

 city. He might have consigned them; 

 the house that sells his carnations also 

 handles green goods. 



Gus I^ederickson was over from St. 

 Joe, Mich., Saturday enjoying our In- 

 dian summer. At his town they had ten 

 inches of snow on Thursday, October 11, 

 and the temperature was down to within 

 12 degrees of zero. 



Wijliam Sprague, president of the 

 Sprai oe. Smith Co., from whom many 



fiorists have bought their glass, died Oc- 

 tober 10, aged 70 years. He had been a 

 resident of Chicago since 1856. 



There was a meeting of chairmen of 

 the flower show committees at the Union 

 for supper October 11, before the regu- 

 lar club meeting. Preparations are ad- 

 vancing nicely. 



Uncle John Thorpe is feeling quite 

 poorly these days, 



Wietor Bros, have cut the last of 

 Chrysanthemum October "Frost, but N. J. 

 Wietor says Touset, their second early 

 white, was bringing $5 a dozen the first 

 of this week. He says there never was 

 a chrysanthemum season like this one 

 to date. 



Rosiere, another of Nathan Smith & 

 Son's varieties, has succeeded October 

 Frost in the center of the chrysanthe- 

 mum stage. Mt. Greenwood is sending 

 it in quantity to E. F. Winterson Co. 

 It is a big reflexed pink and sold fast 

 the first of this week at $3 a dozen. 



The freeze last week caught a lot of 

 stock left outdoors too late. 



D. P. Nelson has resigned his place with 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. to go to Warren, 

 0., having bought the greenhouses and
