A daily paper at Aurora printed the 

 following August 1: "Representatives 

 of a large Chicago floral company have 

 iisitetl this city during the past few 

 days in search of a site for large green- 

 houses in the vicinity of this city. They 

 visited a number of sites and returned to 

 Chicago to report to the officials. ' ' 



Various Notes. 



Seitz & Nordell, '292'A Evanston avenue, 

 being unable to get the lease renewed 

 for their present site, have purchased a 

 tract of ground on the opposite side of 

 the street and will there begin at once 

 the erection of a modern and complete 

 range of houses. The newly purchased 

 lota include 75x1. 10 feet on the northeast 

 corner of Evanston and (Jlenlake avenues, 

 and 42Vjx180 feet on (Jlenlake avenue. A 

 store will be built on the corner, witli a 

 palm house, liox.'Sa feet, extending north- 

 ward from it on Evanston avenue. On 

 tilenlakc avenue, running eastward from 

 the store, will be two houses, 19x119 and 

 19x99, for general stock, and at the rear 

 of these will be a boiler-room, coal-room, 

 stabje, wagon-room and work-room. It 

 is intended that all these buildings shall 

 be completed before winter and part of 

 the material is already on the ground. 

 The framework will be constructed of 

 cypress, which will be furnished by the 

 John C. Moninger Co. The plans, as 

 drawn, induflc two more greenhouses, 

 which will be built as needetl. 



Poehlmann IJros. < 'o., who operate an 

 ice machine to regulate the temperature 

 in the cooling room at the greenhouses 

 at Morton fJrove, are so well |)leased 

 with the way it works that they are 

 thinking of putting one in to take care 

 of the big box just built at the city 

 store. 



All the local . houses are busy with 

 French l)ulbs this week. (Quality is all 

 right and the supply not ahead of re- 

 quirements.

 has had a tough siege with rlioumatisni. 

 ...John V. Kisch. of Weiland & Kisch, 

 says that in spite of the fact that all
