Poehlmann's Plans. 



John Poehlmann, president of tlie 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., says it is too early 

 to say anything definite as to the com- 

 pany's plans for next year's building 

 operations, l)vit admits that things may 

 so shape themselves that a pretty good 

 sized range will go up. From other 

 sources it is learned that the company 

 is negotiating for ten acres of land ad- 

 joining its Plant A and that the jdans 

 contemplate the early erection of one 

 of the largest additions the Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co. ever has put up. 



Flower Show Pktu. 



The executive committee of the Hor- 

 ticultural Society held a meeting Octo- 

 ber 22 at the office of Manager George 

 Asmus in the First National Bank build- 

 ing, to settle details as to the approach- 

 ing flower show. The decorative scheme 

 of Jens .Tensen has been accepted and 

 Mr. .Jensen ap})ointed to carry it out. 

 The committee has accepted many ideas 

 which the press agent thinks will go far 

 toward insuring the interest of the daily 

 papers and of the public. One of these 

 is a voting contest for a display of house 

 plants, which is to be given to the pub- 

 lie school receiving the most votes. 



Manager Asmus says he is assured of 

 more exkibits than ever before, and a 

 greater variety. A large attendance of 

 those in the trade at outside points is 

 expected, and the Florists' Club will 

 give a banquet to trade visitors, as 

 usual, during the show. 



Various Notes. 



J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., 

 was in town October 18 to attend a 

 meeting for the discussion of details of 

 the research to be conducted at the 

 State Agricultural College, with the ap- 

 propriation secured by the greenhouse 

 interests from the last legislature. It 

 will be remembered that the bill pro- 

 vided for a committee from the State 

 Florists' Association to advise the col- 

 lege officials as to the direction of the 

 research. There has been some delay in 

 getting action because some of the 

 ])owers-that-be at the college want to 

 rent greenhouses and make the matter 

 experimental in every sense of the word. 



C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, has 

 been on the sick list for a couple of 

 flays during this week. 



D. C. Knoble, of Columbia City, Ind., 

 was a visitor October 19. 



Reed & Keller, of New York, have 

 asked local florists to ascertain the 

 whereabouts of A. L, Barnett, for many 

 years on the road for them. Mr. Bar- 

 nett has been working in this vicinity 

 for some weeks. He had a large line of 

 samples at the Great Northern hotel, but 

 it is said has not been there since Oc- 

 to1>er 12. It is feared he either wfts 

 taken suddenly ill or met with an ac- 

 cident. O. J. Friedman took charge of 

 the samples. 



Joseph Guranka, for many years a 

 wire worker with the Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., died October 22. 



H. W. Buckbee, Eockford, 111., has be- 

 gun his annual shipments of chrysanthe- 

 mums to E. H. Hunt. 



John Sinner says that the prospects 



with Sinner Bros, are better than ever 

 before. The carnations are a little late, 

 but all the stock looks well. 



Wietor Bros, have considerably in- 

 creased their planting of the Joe Hill 

 rose. It is liked so well that one or 

 two leading retailers take the entire 

 product. 



L. Coatsworth sold two lots in his 

 new addition to New Castle while there 

 last week. He says stock in the Benthey- 

 Coatsworth greenhouses never looked 

 better. 



C. W. McKellar says telegraph orders 

 for orchids are coming in from all over 

 the west and that he looks for a much 

 increased demand this winter. 



E. C. Amling says the mum season is 

 treating him especially well, for his 

 Iwoks for the first three weeks, of Oc- 

 tober show an increase of over thirty 

 per cent compared to last year. 



.John Kruchten says carnations in the 

 neighborhood from which he draws his 

 supplies will soon be giving splendid 

 crops. 



H. F. Halle, whose headquarters now 

 are on Sheridan road, says that in his 

 experience the season is opening later 

 and later each year, because the society- 

 people stay away longer each year as 

 their wealth increases. 



Peter Reinberg, Leonard Kill and A. 

 ('. Spencer represented the trade at the 

 big banquet given the world's cham- 

 pions at the Auditorium Annex October 

 17. P. J. Hauswirth had the decora- 

 tions, which were of Sunrise roses, of 

 course furnished by Reinberg 's.
