cleaned up, all the good stuff sells out 

 promptly each day. 



At Peter Eeinberg's it is stated that 

 the August business was some twenty 

 per cent ahead of August of last year, 

 certainly a gratifying increase, although 

 it would mean more if it could be said 

 of a winter month's business. 



George C. Hartung and wife are at 

 Paw Paw lake, Mich. 



C. L. Washburn is the active spirit in 

 the committee on trees and parkways 

 of the Village League of Hinsdale. It 

 is their purpose to show the citizens of 

 that suburb how good landscape effects 

 are obtained, and Friday evening, Sep- 

 tember 4, the committee will have Jens 

 .tensen, of the West park, and Professor 

 Roth, of Ann Arbor, for stereopticon 

 lectures at the Hinsdale Club. Basaett 

 & Washburn are now cutting large crops 



of roses, but have not yet cirt a car- 

 nation. 



Vaughan & Sperry are receiving large 

 quantities of asters, some of them spe- 

 cially good, from both local and Michi- 

 gan growers. And Fred Sperry spent 

 a few days of the last week in Michigan. 



Herman Shau, of Morgan Park, is now 

 selling his stock at the Flower Growers' 

 market, his daughter being his repre- 

 sentative. 



During the scarcity of asters at the 

 middle of August Kennicott Bros. Co. 

 wrote one of its former consignors, and 

 the consignor, not having anything 

 to ship, passed the letter to a friend. 

 Word finally reached Lowell, Mass., that 

 asters were good property in Chicago, 

 and a shipment from there reached Ken- 

 nicott 's August 31. The grower said to 

 wire him if more were wanted, but he 



got no wire, for the world do move in 

 Chicago and asters had become a glut. 



Fred Hunt has rented the establish- 

 ment of Fred Ahrensfeldt, at Park Ridge, 



George Harrer is again actively en- 

 gaged in the flower business, for he is 

 operating his greenhouses vacated by 

 Joseph P. Brooks, when the latter built 

 his own plant. 



W. C. Johnson is a new traveler who 

 went on the road this week for E. H. 

 Hunt. Clifford Pruner also started out 

 September 1, the day W. E. Lynch and 

 family returned from their trip to the 

 family home in Massachusetts, Miss 

 Harper also is at home from her vaca- 

 tion. 



The A. L. Randall Co. says the Au- 

 gust business was not only much better 

 than the July business, but that it was 

 better than any August yet, and the 

 summer as a whole has been much bet- 

 ter than any previous summer. 



The K. P. Wintferson Co. received its 

 first shipment of Chinese sacred lilies 

 August 31. 



J. F. Klimmer, at Oak Park, is cutting 

 moderate quantities of the Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemum, which he sends to Ran- 

 dall 's. 



George Asmus says that the Schiller 

 business will move into its new place 

 on West Madison street about Septem- 

 ber 15, although the new plant will 

 not be completely finished at that date. 



The Poehlmann families, the Winter- 

 sons, and the Asmus family having re- 

 turned last week, all the conventionites 

 are present or accounted for, except 

 C. W. McKellar and wife. When last 

 heard from they were at Mount Clemens,
