VIEW, during the period he was market- 

 ing the cut blooms, he has received a 

 number of requests that he procure from 

 the grower, as soon as ready, seeds for 

 his correspondents, several of whom men- 

 tion their indifference as to what the 

 price may be. 



Auxiliary Telephones. 



There now are two telephone lines 

 eonnecting with the city store of the 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. The old phone 

 number has been dropped and the in- 

 coming call now is Bandolph 35, the 

 peculiar feature being that this also is 

 the street number. The auxiliary line is 

 Randolph 36. 



An interesting feature of the tele- 

 phone service, which not all users under- 

 stand, is that where a subscriber has 

 two lines with consecutive numbers, the 

 two plugs in the switchboard are circled, 

 BO that the operator knows the two wires 

 lead to the same house and if the num- 

 ber called for is ^usy the other one can 

 be given without delay, unless that also 

 is occupied. 



It was to get two numbers together 

 that the Poehlmann Bros. Co. gave up its 

 old number. The same method of oper- 

 ating is practiced wherever any sub- 

 scriber has two or more consecutive num- 

 bers. 



The Weather in September. 



September was cold, the mean temper- 

 ature being 65 degrees, or 5 degrees be- 

 low^ last year, jhe rainfall waa.- 4.49 

 inches, or 1.41 inclies more than nocmal. 

 We are now 3.17 inches ahead for the 

 year. The wind was strong, from the 

 southwest: total movement, 9.416 miles 



There were seven clear days, eleven partly 

 cloudy, and twelve cloudy. 



Various Notes. 



George Keinberg is cutting quite a few 

 orchids, in the two houses now devote<l 

 to that specialty. He has fine cattleyas 

 and Dendrobium Phalsenopsis. 



L. Coatsworth, president of the Ben- 

 they-Coatsworth Co., says they will di 

 vide an acre of their property at New- 

 Castle and sell it as building lots, put- 

 ting the money into the purchase of other 

 land near New Castle. Their investment 

 at New Castle turns out to have been a 

 profitable deal, not only from a floricul- 

 tural standpoint but from a real estate 

 point of view, as the town has grown 

 rapidly in their direction and values have 

 greatly advanced. 



Word comes from Aurora that W. C. 

 Ysin Burgen and C. H. Stahl, of Chicago, 

 who were negotiating for a site for a 

 large greenhouse plant north of Aurora, 

 have abandoned their idea. 



Frank Oechslin, who has concentrated 

 his growing of pot plants at the range at 

 2572 West Adams street, made a record 

 in the matter of erecting his seven new- 

 houses, each one 120 feet long. They 

 were begun August 10 and completed 

 September 23. Among his many items 

 of stock are some especially good chrys- 

 anthemum pot plants. 



C. M. Dickinson, treasurer and man- 

 ager of the E. H. Hunt corporation, re- 

 turned September 28, with his family, 

 from a month's stay at Benton Harbor, 

 where he took a course of baths for 

 rheumatism. He was greatly benefited. 



L. Baumann & Co. supplied a large 

 part of the artificial flower and foliage 



work for the decoration which is on at 

 Field's this week. Their establishment 

 has been working night and day for 

 weeks preparing the Targe quantity of 

 material needed and Mr. Baumann per- 

 sonally superintended its delivery and 

 putting up. He was on duty constantly 

 from Friday night until Monday morn- 

 ing. Although the George Wittbold 

 Co. put in an immense quantity of 

 outdoor stock and thousands of palms 

 and ferns, it made comparatively little 

 showing in the mammoth store. The cut 

 flowers also failed to create any effect 

 as of lavish use, the store is so great. 

 Wittbolds have several other decorations 

 on this week. 



Peter Reinberg is crowded in the city 

 store and the need of more room is felt 

 to the extent that inquiries have been 

 made as to the terms of a lease on a 

 larger space. This has given rise to 

 various rumors as to his intentions, all 

 of which are said to be news to those 

 who have charge of the selling end of the 

 business. 



N. J. Wietor is more than pleased with 

 the way the October Frost chrysanthe- 

 mum is doing with his firm and with 

 nearly all to whom they sold cuttings last 

 spring. He says that it has interested 

 him especially to note that the growers 

 who followed their advice with regard to 

 the bud to take, have profited by the ex- 

 perience gained by Wietor Bros., while 

 those who did not have the benefit of 

 this advice, or who disregarded it, have 

 in some conspicuous instances failed to 

 get the results they should have had. 



('. W. Kellar says that it is noteworthy 

 that orchids are being called for by many 

 in towns where they have not previously
