Various Notes. 



There is discussion in the market as to 

 the advisability of handling consign- 

 ments of outdoor riowers for those not 

 regularly engaged in the florists' busi- 

 ness. Some houses indicate a disposition 

 to refuse the shipments of those who 

 send in stock only during short seasons, 

 to compete with those who rely upon this 

 market for their livelihood. 



At J. A. Budlong's they are especially 

 well pleased with the appearance of their 

 carnations. They have benched their 

 plants 10x10 this year, as against 10x12 

 last season. Philip Hchupp says the stock 

 took hold without the slightest check 

 after being benched. 



The- sight of Harry Rowe going down 

 the street in a bright new automobile 

 speaks for prosperity in the retail flower 

 business on Monroe street. 



Albert Lies, of Niles Center, has plant- 

 ed his entire establishment in roses this 

 season. He ships to Zech & Mann. 



Louis Gresenz, who bought Mrs. Her- 

 tel's place on (Jlybourn avenue July 15, 

 reports himself more than pleased with 

 his first month 's business. He more than 

 paid expenses in the deadest month of 

 the year. 



L. Baumann & Co. are offering a large 

 line of natural preserved foliage, of 

 which maidenhair fern is especially well 

 liked. 



George Reinberg has his houses nearly 

 all planted. There are no carnations in 



the establishment this year, only roses, 

 greens and orchids. For carnations the 

 store will depend on consignors, a num- 

 ber of whom already have been arranged 

 for. 



At the Flower Growers' Market a new 

 cool room is to be built, 12x25. It is to 

 be cooled by outside air and will be use- 

 ful from mum time to Decoration day. 



John Sinner gets down to the Growers' 

 Market about once a week. He has a 

 most beautiful coat of tan, and says re- 

 planting the greenhouses is better than 

 fishing for the appetite. 



The George Wittbold Co. has put a 

 new and up-to-date delivery wagon on 

 the street. The character of the outfit 

 may be indicated by the fact that the 

 lamps cost .$14 ea<A\. 



Fred Weber ha^ doubled his place this 

 season. He has B^uties in all the houses, 

 and the old stock is giving a good sum- 

 mer crop. The young stock, also, is com- 

 ing on nicely and E. C. Amling has high 

 expectations of it for winter, 



P. M. Broadbeck, at Evanston, has his 

 range of new houses up and planted. The 

 work is not quite finished, but he will be 

 in the market with a much increased pro- 

 (luction early this fall. Kennicott Bros. 

 Co. has handled his output for many 

 years. 



Bassett & Washburn continue to cut 

 heavily from their houses of summer 

 roses. 



W. E. Lynch, vice-president of the E. 

 H. Hunt corporation, is again on duty, 

 {ifter his annual outing. 



A. L. Randall comes over from St. Joe 

 for a day now and then. He is prepar- 

 ing to harvest his peach crop. Miss Ton- 

 ner is still in the east. 



A. L. Vaughan reports an excellent 

 outlook for September. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. reports 

 French bulbs going out rapidly and 

 growers inquiring as to when Dutch 

 bulbs may be expected. 



The Masonic Temple is not without its 

 flower store. Although Frank Williams 

 gave up the Moscoe place on the State 

 street side two Greeks have a small store 

 in the Temple on the Randolph street 

 front. 



Peter Reinberg 's people all say that 

 the summer experience with the Mrs. 

 Field rose has added greatly to their es- 

 timation of it — which was always high. 



Poehlmann 's Morton Grove rose, the 

 pinker sport of Chatenay, is giving good 

 flowers and the buyers like it. 



F. F. Bent hey reports the Beauty crop 

 increasing. 



C. W. McKellar says the orchid crop is 

 at a low ebb. 



N. J. Wietor says this has been the 

 best summer yet for Wietor Bros. 



George W. Bartholomew, who formerly 

 was with Peter Reinberg, is having excel- 

 lent success as foreman of the plant of 

 the Miami Floral (Jo., at Dayton, O. 



Beginning September 3 the wholesale 

 houses will keep open to 6 p. m. 



Among the visitors to this city last 

 week was L. L. Olds, president of the L. 

 L. Olds Seed Co., of Clinton, Wis. 



C. A. Schnell, who was for nine years 

 in the employ of Chas. Thorley, of New 

 York, is in the city this week. 



Ashtabula, O. — The Griswold Green- 

 house Co. is building a large addition 

 for forcing vegetables and will fit it up 

 with the Skinner watering apparatus.
