Viiit to JoKet. 



Forty of the trade visitors accepted 

 the invitation of the Chicago Carnation 

 Co. for a trip to Joliet November 9. The 

 establishment was found in exceptionally 

 good shape, the stock in all the houses 

 being of uniform good quality. Aristo- 

 crat is grown in largest quantity, there 

 being 20,000 plants. There are 10,000 

 each of White Perfection and a white 

 sport of Enchantress. Other varieties 

 grown in considerable quantity are Win- 

 sor, Beacon, Enchantress, Rose-pink En- 

 chantress, Victory, Cardinal, Lady Boun- 

 tiful, "White Lawson and Red Chief. 

 There are 10,000 plants of Andrew Car- 

 negie, the new scarlet which the firm is 

 disseminating this season. It is a sport 

 from Harlowarden. 



State GreeohouscB. 



November 9 there was a meeting be- 

 tween Dean Davenport, Prof. Blair and 

 Prof. Beal, of the State College of 

 Agriculture, and the advisory commit- 

 tee of the State Florists' Association, 

 to which a number of the local growers 

 were summoned. The plans for the 

 'dtate greenhouses at Champaign are on 

 paper and construction work will begin 

 in the spring. Dean Davenport said he 

 was particularly pleased with the sug- 

 gestion that this first state appropria- 

 tion is only a step toward a practicat 

 school of floriculture. Growers ex- 

 pressed themselves anxious to have a 

 solution for such practical problems as 

 their battle with thrips. 



VarioiM Note*. 



Bassett & Washburn have decided not 

 to send out their new red carnation, 

 Orland P. Bassett, this season. The 

 present plan is" to grow three houses of 

 it next year, especially for propagating. 



Among the Chicagoans at St. Louis 

 this week are Leonard Kill, P. J. Haus- 

 wirth, August Poehlmann and C. L. 

 Washburn, the latter having gone by 

 way of Indianapolis, where there also 

 is a show on. 



The A. L. Randall Co. decorated its 

 supply department for flower show week 

 and made a moat attractive display. 

 The effort was rewarded by the pres- 

 ence of a large number of visitors from 

 out of town. The company is this week 

 installing a new telephone switchboard, 

 with three trunk lines and stations in 

 all departments. 



C. W. McKellar received red berries 

 November 8 and calls attention to the 

 fact that quality is much better this 

 year than last. 



H. N. Bruns was the most cheerful 

 loser at the show. Incidentally it is 

 worth recording that in the wholesale 

 market buyers do not want dark green 

 foliage on their valley; they want light 



§reen, the same as in plumosus and 

 prengeri. 



N. J. Wietor says that Golden Chad- 

 wick is one of the best commercial chry- 

 santhemums in the large list they are 

 growing. He says that for all the 

 splendid novelties sent out year by year 

 the demand for cut flowers still is for a 

 few sorts, Bonnaffon and Chadwick be- 

 ing most popular. 



There are two men in the market 

 who attend to business under difficulty. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., is 

 ill of indigestion and E. F. Winterson 

 is combating his old enemyi rheilmatism. 



Philipp & Opitz have purchased the 

 retail business of Chas. E. Morton, at 

 3626 Cottage Grove avenue. 



C. Brethauer has been located at 1198 

 Lincoln avenue for twenty-six years and 

 has seen the locality grow from an open 

 prairie to a solidly built up district. 

 The opening of the elevated station 

 within a few doors of his place has 

 helped business with him this fall. 

 Years ago he had greenhouses at this 

 location, but he now finds that he can 

 buy cheaper than he can grow. 



E. C. Amling has begun to receive 

 sweet peas. He did a fine business with 

 them last winter. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 has gone to Little Rock, Ark., to judge 

 the show there this week. 



Mrs. Frank Beu, who sells in the 

 Flower Growers' market, is again dis- 

 posing of a crop of pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums and says they are the best sell- 

 ing stock at present and that a bench 

 of these pays better than a bench of big 

 mums. 



Peter Risch, of W^eiland & Risch, has 

 been ill for a week or more and Miss 

 Furlong, who presides in the office, wears 

 her face in a bandage as a result of a 

 visit to a dentist. 



Andrew McAdams has had an experi- 

 ence of the cattleya fly in his house of 

 orchids and he says the cattleyas hardly 

 will be this season as they were last, 

 the most profitable thing on the place. 



C. M. Dickinson says that E. H. Hunt 

 is now disposing of so great a quantity 

 of To-bak-ine products that he is con-
