been used. He had a number of such 

 shipping orders on this week. 



Bassett & Washburn have begun to 

 cut chrysanthemums. 



Andrew McAdams has been suffering 

 from a sprained ankle. 



John T. Muir is able to be about as 

 usual, after an illness which confined 

 faim to his bed. 



A. L. Randall is expected home this 

 week, after his summer spent as usual 

 on his Michigan fruit farm. Webster 

 Randall will leave the latter part of the 

 week for a visit at his old home in west- 

 ern Pennsylvania. 



F. Stielow, at Niles Center, says that 

 all the carnations in that neighborhood 

 are much smaller than usual at this date. 

 He thinks he is at least a month behind 

 last year. 



Klehm's Nurseries, at Arlington 

 Heights, are busy finishing up the re- 

 building operations. They have planted 

 all the new range to roses, principally 

 Brides. Retail trade is excellent with 

 them. They have not yet begun replant- 

 ing peonies, and have only a little of 

 this work to do this year. 



John Zech, of Zech & Mann, has been 

 ill for a week, suffering with stomach 

 trouble. 



Will Graff, of Columbus, O., arrived in 

 town September 30, looking for stock. 

 He says business is excellent at Colum- 

 bus, his only diflBculty being in securing 

 enough flowers. His brother, Sam Graff, 

 leaves about October 15 for Seattle. 



J. E. Jensen, of Jensen & Dekema, 

 went to Springfield Monday evening to 

 exhibit blooms of W. N. Rudd's new 

 carnations at tho state fair. A. F. Lon- 



gren, of Des Plaines, also was in at- 

 tendance. 



J. A. Budlong is cutting some splen- 

 did Monrovia chrysanthemums, the stem 

 and foliage being as good as the flower. 

 Many growers seem to have poor foliage 

 this year.

is the best, because it is always new, 

 newsy and gives the most informa- 

 tion in general — especially for the 

 Retailer. Every one will always 

 grasp for it whenever it comes. 



ZI£G£R CO. 

 Pittsburg, Pa. 



Sept. 25, 1%7. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. received its 

 first shipment of boxwood September 27 

 and Mr. Winterson reports the retailers 

 took hold of it as strongly as at any time 

 last season. 



Leonard Kill has been entertaining 



Otto Schwill, president of Otto Schwill 

 & Co. and proprietor of the Idlewild 

 Greenhouses, Memphis, Tenn. 



H. E. Klunder vacated his store last 

 Saturday night. 



Weiland &' Risch report an especially 

 strong demand for stock for funeral pur- 

 poses, but say that on Monday the local 

 buyers were glad to pay 2 cents for 

 Lawson with stems not over six inches. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Brothers 

 Co., says that it is always either Christ- 

 mas or Fourth of July in the flower 

 business in this city and that it seems 

 to get worse from year to year. It is 

 either a feast or a famine. 



Hugo Schroeter, of Detroit, was in 

 town September 28 to 30, purchasing 

 stock for the big decoration B. Schroeter 

 puts up each fall for a Detroit depart- 

 ment store. Beauties and roses were 

 what he was after. Among other visitors 

 were W. Hill, of Toronto, Ont., and P. J. 

 Delf, Marquette, Mich. 



At the Coliseum Friday evening, Sep- 

 tember 27, there were big doings, 1,100 

 candidates being initiated in the presence 

 of 10,000 members of the Mystic Shrine. 

 Many florist Shriners were called to town 

 by the event, said to be the greatest in 

 the history of the order. Among those 

 present were W. W. Coles, Kokomo, Ind., 

 and W. W. Seekins, Duluth, Minn. 



The change of date for the flower 

 show, opening November 6 instead of a 

 week earlier, pleases the growers and 

 doubtless will result in increasing the 

 number of exhibitors, for more of them 

 will have stock in good shape. 



J. L. Raske has reopened his stand ih 

 the Board of Trade building.
