much busier than usual so far before the 

 holidays. 



Percy Jones has three boys in his em- 

 ploy that, one time or another, most of 

 the retailers have expressed a willing- 

 ness to hire, but Mr. Jones manages to 

 keep them steadfast by liberal treat- 

 ment. There are of course, between 

 shipments, times when they have abso- 

 lutely nothing to do. He has put in a 

 couple of telegraph instruments and a 

 battery and in these idle moments the 

 boys are teaching themselves telegraphy. 

 Mr. Jones is an ex-railroad man. 



A. Dietsch expects to spend the winter 

 in the City of Mexico and plans to get 

 away as soon as a decision can be 

 reached in the matter of his mortgage 

 for $7,000 on the M. Winandy ])roperty, 

 which creditors are trying to have set 

 aside. It is a personal obligation, not 

 one of the A. Dietsch Co., which has an 

 unsecured claim. The total of Winan- 

 dy 's obligation, Mr. Dietsch 's lawyers 

 say, total $112,000, and there is little 

 prospect that those unsecured ever will 

 realize any considerable sum. The green- 

 houses are being conducted by the trus- 

 tees, Peter Reinberg, Carl Ickes and E. 

 C. Day, but are not paying any special 

 profit. 



John Weiland expects to get into his 

 new store at Evanston before Thanksgiv- 

 ing. He has it nearly ready and has 

 given the A. Dietsch Co. an order for a 

 conservatory 50x95 to be put up at once 

 on the lot back of the store. 



Leonard Kill says he never has seen 

 an autumn when roses have sold as well 

 as in the last six weeks, but he finds 

 the high price of carnations is having a 

 bad effect; the buyers who last season 



were using large quantities of carnations 

 now ask for none at all and he fears the 

 result when carnations again become 

 plentiful. Mr. Kill says the prospects 

 for winter crops were never so good as 

 now at Peter Eeinberg's. 



Wietor Bros, are cutting the Hill rose, 

 Bosalind Orr English, in fair quantity, 

 but say little about it because Wien- 

 hoeber and one or two other customers 

 regularly take all they can get of it. In 

 the Wietor soil it seems to have a deeper 

 color than with some growers and cer- 

 tainly is a fine thing. 



Charlie Duerr, who is known to all in 

 the trade in Chicago, and to many 

 others, met with a big loss October 28 

 in the burning of his plant at Granville, 

 O., near Newark, where he has been lo- 

 cated eighteen months and doing well. 

 There were five houses. The boiler-shed 

 was burned and the ends of the houses. 

 Mr. Duerr says his loss is about $1,500. 



Mrs. W. E. Lynch was taken ill on 

 Sunday and appendicitis is feared. 



The enterprising young men who guar- 

 anteed the expenses of the wholesalers' 

 employees' ball received a net profit of 

 $6 each. 



M. Evert, at Rogers Park, is prepar- 

 ing to rebuild four houses as soon as 

 the chrysanthemums are cut, and when 

 completed will plant them with lettuce. 



The banquet takes place at the Audi- 

 torium this evening. A large attendance 

 is expected. A brief meeting of the club 

 for the election of officers will precede 

 the toasts. 



During the season of special demand 

 for white roses J. A. Budlong has been 

 fortunate in having a big cut of Brides. 

 The new varieties of chrysanthemums 



growing in this establishment now are 

 coming on the market. Ben Wells is one 

 of the big new ones which meets with 

 * special favor. 



Peter Reinberg sent each member of 

 the city council a pair of tickets to the 

 flower show, with an invitation to pass 

 judgment on his Mrs. Marshall Field 

 rose exhibited Wednesday. 



George Bayer, of Toledo, has begun his 

 annual shipments of chrysanthemums to 

 Kennicott Bros. Co. Mr. Bayer has done 

 Bonnaffon to perfection ever since it 

 first came out and sees nothing to beat it 

 as a money-maker. 



C. W. McKellar had a shipment of 

 orchid plants in flower, which arrived 

 Monday, and Tuesday nearly all were a 

 part of the retailers' displays at the 

 Coliseum. 



Weiland & Risch are beginning to get 

 good crops from their carnation houses. 

 Enchantress and Boston Market are their 

 leaders. 



Kruchten & Johnson are handling 

 Wanamaker chrysanthemums which leave 

 Eaton no room for boasting as to its 

 size. 



Printing offices are rushed these days, 

 and the A. L. Randall Co. has had trou- 

 ble in getting its new catalogue, but be- 

 gan mailing the books on Monday. 



Vaughan & Sperry report largely in- 

 creased receipts of Hudson river violets. 

 The weather, permitting street wear, has 

 been a considerable aid to the sale this 

 week. 



John P. Degnan, with the E. F. Win- 

 terson Co., says the firm proposes to be 

 a considerable factor in the Christmas 

 green business again this year. 



Poehlmann Bros, are cutting the Kate
