prospect was for an easier market, al- 

 though the strength imparted by the 

 changed conditions last week may hold 

 over through the current week. 



Club Meeting. 



The attendance at the club meetings 

 has steadily increased since the removal 

 to the rooms at the Union restaurant, 

 the social feature being an attraction. 

 The number present October 1 was the 

 largest yet and a notable number of ap- 

 plications for membership were received. 

 These included: Joseph Kohout, Hins- 

 dale; Charles Arnold, Des Plaines; Wm. 

 Mielander, Morton Grove ; Joseph Biever, 

 W. W. Abrahamson, Henry L. Seitz, Wm. 

 Arnold, P. L. McKee, Peter Schonsbor, 

 Gcorf? Collins and Frank Kadlec. Al- 

 bert T. Iky, Western Springs, and J. F. 

 Dun.cko, Hitavia, were elected to mem- 

 bership. C. W. Scott tendered his resig- 

 nation, as he is now located in New 

 York. 



The balance in the San Francisco fund 

 was ordered returned pro rata to the 

 subscribers, except where they have 

 definitely stated that their portion is to 

 be turned over to the club's general 

 fund. 



It was voted to have a ladies ' night at 

 ^ early date. 



Flower show arrangements were dis- 

 cussed. 



The September Weather. 



The meteorological summary for Sep- 

 tember shows the month was the' warm- 

 est September since the weather bureau 

 started keeping records, thirty-eight years 

 ago. The miean temperature was 71 de- 

 grees, while normal is 65 degrees. Also, 

 the rainfall was 2.08 inches, while 3.06 



would be normal. There was the unusual 

 number of twenty-one clear days, only 

 three cloudy and six partly cloudy. There 

 was a frost September 29, but not kill- 

 ing. 



Various Notes. 



Leonard Kill says he knew, all along, 

 how it would come out, and that there 

 isn't the slightest doubt who will win 

 in the world's series. Peter Eeinberg's 

 is Cub headquarters, you know. 



There will be a meeting of the flower 

 show reception committee at the Union at 

 8 p. m., Friday evening, October 9. 



As showing the state of general busi- 

 ness in Chicago, it is interesting to note 

 that the bank clearings for September 

 were only 2.2 per cent less than in the 

 same month of 1907, which was before 

 the excitement and when business was 

 on the boom. It is the smallest de- 

 crease shown in 1908, the largest having 

 been in May, 13.9 per cent. 



F. N. Kenyon, who, as the Zenith 

 Kustic Mfg. Co., supplies local whole- 

 salers with birchbark ware, has gotten 

 out a birchbark canoe in several small 

 sizes for air plants, that makes a first- 

 class seller. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. says that 

 the rose plants at the Coatsworth green- 

 houses. New Castle, that were thought 

 to have been injured in the recent fire, 

 are breaking well from the base and that 

 they have come out practically without 

 loss, except the large amount of work 

 entailed. 



Alex. Newett and family left October 

 3 to make their home at St. Joseph, Mo.

 October 7 from their summer home in 

 Michigan. 



John Sinner says that Sinner Bros, 

 never had so good prospects as at the 

 present time. 



It is worth while noting that Emi) 

 BuBttner has no red carnation on his 

 place, having found that varieties of 

 otlipr colors pay him better. Neither 

 has he any early mums this year, as late 

 varieties have made the most profit. He 

 says, however, that the late varieties and 

 midseason sorts appear to be all coming 

 in together this year. He is cutting a 

 fine crop of Killarney.
