Mention The Review when you write. 



the tobacconist in the Ellsworth build- 

 ing, who is perhaps more widely known 

 as Kid Herman, the man of the mitts. 



The S. Wilks Manufacturing Co. has 

 just issued a special greenhouse cata- 

 logue to send to those who reply to its 

 advertisement in the Eeview. 



Albert Amling has planted a house 

 with Adiantum Farleyense for cutting. 

 He procured his stock of J. A. Peterson, 

 Cincinnati, and says he is more than 

 pleased with the plants sent him. 



The E. r. Winterson Co. is handling 

 plants from Robert Craig Co., Philadel- 

 phia, among them Ficus pandurata, 

 which is something of a novelty in this 

 market. 



Sinner Bros, are putting in a new 100 

 horse-power steam boiler equipped with 

 a Martin rocking grate. 



Local buyers find it difficult to place 

 orders for bouquet green. It appears 

 that early bookings are all that the large 

 handlers expect to be able to supply, and 

 it no longer is a question of price. 



"Wietor Bros, supplied the Boston 

 Store with 12,000 mums in one lot for a 

 special sale last Saturday. For quantity 

 on a single order it probably will stand 

 as a record for this market. 



C. M. Dickinson still is suffering with 

 rheumatism, being unable to get to his 

 office more than one or two days a week. 



Mrs. W. E. Lynch, whose condition gave 

 concern, now is convalescing. T. V. 

 Brown is a new addition to the force at 

 Hunt 's. 



Zech & Mann are getting in a lot of 

 Maud Dean which would make any of 

 the new pink mums hustle to get into 

 the running. 



Peter Reinberg returned Sunday from 

 a week at Duquoin, where he found the 

 quail almost as abundant as Leonard 

 jLill says the buds on Liberty now are 

 in the greenhouses. They also are cut- 

 ting heavily of Marshall Field and ex-' 

 pect Richmond to be in full crop for 

 Christmas. Mr. Kill has been ill for a 

 week, but again is on deck. 



Vaughan & Sperry state that last week 

 they received two tons of boxwood sprays 

 from an eastern importer and were 

 somewhat alarmed for fear they had 

 overbought, but say they disposed of 

 1,000 pounds within three days and are 

 well pleased with the demand. 



The A. L. Randall Co. is opening some 

 importations of German Easter novelties. 

 The new catalogue is beginning to en- 

 liven things in the supply department. 



Weiland & Risch say tney are ready 

 for winter, 1,200 tons of fuel being in 

 the sheds and six cars on the track Mon- 

 day. They burn about 1,800 tons of 

 coal each year. 



W. J. Smyth says business has been 

 especially good this fall and thinks that 

 in part at least it is due to the much 

 improved appearance his store makes 

 with its big, new, brilliantly lighted 

 windows. A novelty seen here is covered 

 glass globes filled with partridge berry 

 sprays, the red berries standing out 

 among the dark green leaves, the globe 

 tied with red cord to match. A little 

 damp moss in the bottom of each globe 

 serves to keep the foliage fresh for some 

 time. 



Will Arnold, one of George Reinberg 's 

 rosegrowers, has returned from Alexan- 

 dria, Va., where he was called to testify 

 in the suit of J. Louis Loose, who sought 

 damages from the Southern railroad be- 

 cause the greenhouses, where Mr. Ar- 

 nold formerly was employed, are dark- 

 ened by smoke from the roundhouse. The 

 jury disagreed. 



The Muir store on Michigan avenue 

 makes a fine appearance in the evening, 

 three sides being glass, so that all the- 

 stock may easily be seen from the 

 street when the store is lighted up. 



Among the week's visitors was Fred 

 Mansoff, of Brandon, Man., looking up 

 material for a new plant he proposes to 

 ^ut up in the spring. 

 " The young lady, Miss Minnie Speck, 

 who now keeps the books for Scheiden &
