PETER REINBERG 



31 Wabash 2lve» 1,200.000 Feet of ciass CHICAGO 



train, Kading going under the ■wheels. 

 Hand was thrown to the side of the 

 track. He suffered a severe fracture 

 of one arm, which may necessitate am- 

 putation. The men were not found until 

 the morning after the accident. Mr. 

 Hand is in the Monroe street hospital in 

 Chicago. Kading was 30 years of age. 



The Young Funeral. 



The funeral of Otto Young on Sun- 

 day and the interment on Monday made 

 much work for the leading retailers. 

 C. A. Samuelson had the family order, 

 which was the largest he has been called 

 upon to handle since the Field funeral. 

 So widely was Mr. Young connected with 

 Chifago business affairs that practically 

 all the retailers had a share in the fu- 

 neral w¥)rk, some of the pieces shown 

 being among the largest and most ex- 

 pensive turned out in this city in many 

 months. Eowe made a pillow using 3,000 

 violets, a large quantity of valley, and 

 four dozen cattleyas. The entire draw- 

 ing-room of the Young residence at 2032 

 Calumet avenue was occupied by the 

 floral display. 



Weather in November. 



The weather continues unseasonably 

 warm, November averaging 3 degrees 

 above normal. We have now had, figur- 

 ing on the daily mean temperature, 928 

 degrees more heat in 1906 than normal. 

 In November there were only four clear 

 days, eleven partly cloudy and fifteen 

 cloudy. The rainfall was 3.08 inches, 

 or 1.03 inches more than November in 

 1905. 



Various Notes. 



The transportation question is occupy- 

 ing the thoughts of all Chicago. The 



congestion is testing the public temper. 

 In the city council it is the principal 

 topic of debate. Alderman Peter Rein- 

 berg suggests improving conditions by 

 building bridges at La Salle and Frank- 

 lin streets and establishing two more 

 downtown loops. 



George Manos, who has a stand at the 

 Union depot, is a partner in Manos & 

 Laskey at the Union depot at Pittsburg, 

 Pa. 



Ned Washburn, son of C. L. Wash- 

 burn, is at home from Madison, where 

 he is taking the horticultural course in 

 the State Agricultural College. During 

 the holiday rush he will acquire a knowl- 

 edge of the business side of practical 

 floriculture, in the city store of Bassett 

 & Washburn. 



C. M. Dickinson is on deck again at 

 E. H. Hunt's, feeling first rate after 

 seven weeks' siege with rheumatism. 



Sinner Bros, are cutting Harrisii in 

 considerable quantities, still rather short 

 stems but fine flowers. 



L. Baumann & Co. are experiencing 

 the full force of the freight conges- 

 tion. They have thirty cases of Christ- 

 mas supplies mixed up in the freight 

 blockade between New York and Chi- 

 cago. "^ 



A. L. Randall Co. reports the supply 

 department working overtime with in- 

 creased force to keep the Christmas or- 

 ders going out promptly. 



Peter Reinberg's cut of Mrs. Marshall 

 Field rose has become quite heavy and 

 the color of the buds is much improved 

 since cool weather came. 



The latest novelty with Vaughan & 

 Sperry is ivy sprays. 



Wietor Bros, report that they are 

 about through with the mums, and they 



say it with regret, for they have had an 

 exceptionally good season with them. 



The wire department of the Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co. has been turning out 

 some large orders for rings for the mak- 

 ing of holly wreaths. The early ship- 

 ments of holly are of fine quality. 



According to report, the sales from 

 the Guardian Angel's Orphan Asylum 

 greenhouses last year were $14,000. It 

 is one of the chief sources of revenue 

 of the institution. 



Weiland & Risch say they are just be- 

 ginning to get a good cut, having been 

 late in replanting last summer. They 

 have a large part of the place in Kil- 

 larney. 



Emil Kroll is cutting some exception- 

 ally good Liberty. Zech & Mann handle 

 the stock. ' 



The club is due to meet next week, 

 Thursday, December 13, at Handel hall, 

 at 8 p. m. 



August Poehlmann says that they are 

 taking all the wood possible for the 

 propagation of their sport of Chatenay, 

 as they consider it an exceptionally good 

 thing. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. reports the 

 trade taking strongly to artificial poin- 

 settias. They are useful in combination 

 with wreaths and for places where nat- 

 ural flowers would not stand. 



P. C. Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, 

 says that every day they are better 

 pleased with their grafted roses. They 

 have a splendid crop just coming on. 



Cattleya Percivaliana is about the 

 only resource just now, and commands 

 high prices. Trianae is just beginning, 

 and, McKellar says, is in big demand. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. says that 

 Killarney will be at its best with them
