Mention The Review when you write. 



wild smilax is plentiful this season and 

 predicts that the market will go to pieces. 



Police Captain Sehuettler is interested 

 in a range of houses at Wilraette, that 

 are turning out some first-class carna- 

 tions. 



H. Bauske and Mrs. Bauske have re- 

 cently returned from a visit at Detroit 

 and a trip to Niagara Falls. 



At J. A. Budlong's they were espe- 

 cially fortunate last week in having the 

 best carnation crop of the season to 

 date. 



Percy Jones has built a neat private 

 office at the Flower Growers' market and 

 has installed a stenographer, for the 

 purpose of reaching out for the buyers 

 who do not come to him. 



John Kruchten is beginning a fort- 

 night's term of jury duty in the crimi- 

 nal court. 



George Eeinberg is cutting a large crop 

 of Kate Moulton rose. The only fault of 

 this variety appears to be its weak neck. 



E. C. Amling says that Fred Weber's 

 crop of Beauties in the last fortnight 

 has been the best that proficient grower 

 ever has cut and that a tidy sum of 

 money has been taken in on them. 



This is the week of the fall openings 

 on State street. The George Wittbbld 

 Co. has had its hands full, having sup*- 

 plied practically all the plants and cut 

 flowers. L. Baumann & Co. have sup- 

 plied the artificial autumn foliage. 



W. E. Lynch, at E. H. Hunt's, has 

 added to the equipment what he calls a 

 Tiolet sink. It is a zinc-lined box about 



4x10 feet and only a few inches deep. 

 A wire net supports the bunches of vio- 

 lets, leaving only the stems to hang in the 

 water, which constantly flows through the 

 sink. 



At Muir's two stores, on the south side, 

 business is reported picking up since 

 the cooler weather brought people home 

 from the country. 



Bassett & Washburn report that Mon- 

 day, October 5, was the busiest day they 

 have had since spring. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. has begun to cut 

 antirrhinum and also rubrum lilies. Ar- 

 rangements have been made for an orchid 

 supply. 



Peter Koinberg was chairman of the 

 corner-stone laj'ing ceremony at the new 

 Lyman Trumbull school, October 3, and 

 furnished flowers for the occasion. 



H. R. Hughes says that the laying 

 off of men in the big west side factories 

 did not noticeably affect his business, 

 but that when the street was torn up 

 for the relaying of the car tracks there 

 was a marked falling off in his trade. 

 September with him was considerably 

 better than a year ago. 



The Foley Mfg. Co. supplied the ma- 

 terial for the large range of new houses 

 fo* G6ncordia cemetery. 



'Wietor Bros, say they are well pleased 

 with the way the season is opening for 

 them. 



Emil Kroll is sending Zech & Mann 

 some good stock. 



Vaughan & Sperry report violets as 

 much improved in quality.

 is now in full crop and demand ex- 

 cellent.

 fine blooms of their red seedling car- 

 nation to be disseminated this season. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has gone 

 into the plant business again. They han- 

 dle a lot of Bostons, etc., every fall. 



Weiland & Risch have their store in 

 fine shape. 



The John C. Moninger Co. reports 

 that its season has been fully as good 

 as a year ago. The Poehlmann Bros.

 the bars without header, in its newest 

 range, now going up. 



The Merry Window Hanger, originated 

 by Anna Grace Sawyer, of the Pansy 

 Garden Flower Shop, 2020 West Madi- 

 son street, is one of the popular window 

 attractions this fall. These raffia hangers 

 are adjustable, used to hang roses, potted 

 plants or fish bowls of any size or shape. 

 Schiller, Wittbold and Mangel are han- 

 dling them.
