Varioos Notes. 



Fred Weber tells E. C. Amling that his 

 Beauties never were so promising as at 

 the present time. Mr. Amling says 

 there is a brisk sale for the stock now 

 being cut from the four large houses. 



C. L. Washburn and his son, E. B. 

 Washburn, are hunting in the woods of 

 northern Wisconsin this week. 



It is reported that on the night of Sep- 

 tember 10 fire threatened the summer 

 homes of the Chicago colony at Silver 

 Lake, Wis., where the family of E. Wien- 



hoeber is staying. The summer visitors 

 formed a bucket brigade and by hard 

 work saved the cottages. 



C. M. Dickinson, of E.^. Hunt's, re- 

 ports that the Poehlmann Bros. Co. is 

 now at work erecting concrete benches 

 of the Wittbold one-piece pattern. Au- 

 gust Poehlmann is on record as being of 

 the opinion that wood benches will short- 

 ly be displaced by concrete in all up-to- 

 date establishments. 



It is reported that a number of grow- 

 ers at Bowmanville have come to the 

 conclusion that real estate there is too 

 valuable for greenhouse purposes, and 

 that within the next few years there 

 will be a quite general removal of the 

 plants to a location farther from the 

 city. 



D. E. Freres has opened in the Flower 

 Growers' market and is handling some 

 good stock. 



Scheiden & Schoos, in the Flower Grow- 

 ers ' market, are receiving consignments 

 of asters from White Bros., Gasport, 

 N. Y. 



Fred Schram was in town September 

 14, well tanned up as a result of six 

 weeks' steady work with the carnations. 

 He says little stock is yet being cut at 

 Park Ridge, but that the growers there 

 are all in good shape, with the stock in 

 the houses looking better than it usually 

 does at this date. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving quan- 

 tities of dahlias from Michigan, but 

 they are not selling nearly so well as the 

 same stock did last year. 



Joe Dunn is spending his vacation at 

 Shelby, Ind., and Phil Schupp and Harry 

 Manheim spent Sunday and Monday with 

 him, fishing. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. received a 

 car of Dutch bulbs September 14. 



Percy Jones says that the Kibbe asters 

 are the best coming to town and that 

 growers who visit the Kibbe place, at

 crease his output of cut valley, having 

 invested $3,500 in a new house and im-

 new fall supplies, one of the novelties 

 being a rafiSa mat, like the Porto Rican 

 mat, only being made of dyed raflSa. 



Henry Klunder, on Drexel boulevard 

 at Forty-third street, has a larger store 

 than is needed for the flower business, 

 and since the end of June has had a
