bringing the net profit down to around 

 $2,600. 



The retailers had a rally at the Ma- 

 sonic Temple November 18, to which 

 every retailer in town had been invited, 

 and which brought out a large attend- 

 ance for the discussion of mutual in- 

 terests. The retailers are pushing along 

 in their work of harmonizing divergent 

 views and their efforts seem likely to 

 result in putting the business in Chicago 

 on a better footing than ever before. 



E. C. Amling says that Monday, No- 

 vember 22, brought a heavier run of 

 shipping than any preceding day this 

 season. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. says that after 

 having tried all sorts of wood and paper 

 boxes for the shipment of its stock from 

 greenhouses to store, the most satisfac- 

 tory and cheapest has proven to be the 

 one made by the Sefton Mfg. Co., on 

 Thirty-fifth street, out of extra heavy 

 corrugated board. Some of these boxes 

 have made as many as thirty trips from 

 Morton Grove to the city. On each trip 

 nearly the cost of the box is saved on 

 express charges, and the return of the 

 empties, bundled, is far cheaper than 

 with wood empties that now cost 10 and 

 15 cents each to return. After the 

 boxes are pretty well worn they are 



used for shipments to customers in near- 

 by towns, thereby taking the place of a 

 wood box and saving express charges 

 for the customer. 



Bassett & Washburn say the fame of 

 the O. P. Bassett carnation has spread 

 around the world and they have received 

 orders from Europe for several thou- 

 sands of cuttings. They expect to do 

 a big business in young stock again this 

 season, on Bassett, "White Killamey and 

 My Maryland. 



George Asmus became a thirty-second 

 degree Mason last week, the ceremony 

 lasting through three days and conclud- 

 ing with a banquet. 



Frank Johnson has been on one of 

 his semiannual trips to the Twin Cities 

 and Duluth for the A. L. Kandall Co. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co. reports the 

 busiest season in the history of the busi- 

 ness. Saturdays have been extremely 

 busy with debutante work, for which 

 long roses principally have been used, 

 but there has been a big run of funeral 

 work and table work. It is reported 

 that the "Wienhoeber Co. expended close 

 to $900 in maintaining its booths at the 

 flower show, though Mr. "Wienhoeber him- 

 self is not saying anything about it. 



Kyle & Foerster have added another 

 ice chamber to their big cool room. 



thereby giving them much better con- 

 trol of the temperature ' during hot 

 weather. 



Conrad "Wolfe, of Duluth, was one of 

 the week's visitors. 



J. D. Thompson and the company which 

 bears his name at Joliet threshed out 

 another of their legal difficulties last 

 week. It was a suit to determine the 

 ownership of some of the personal prop- 

 erty, including several cups and medals 

 won at flower shows. 



George Fabyan, who owns the Biver- 

 bank Greenhouses, at Geneva, formerly 

 the Harvey establishment and later con- 

 ducted under the name of Engledew & 

 Co., is rebuilding the houses at the 

 southern end of the property, the re- 

 moval making room for landscape work 

 which is in contemplation. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. received a carload 

 of eastern ferns by express November 22 

 for cold storage. 



Charles Schneider, who formerly did 

 business as the Central Floral Co., has 

 filed a petition in bankruptcy. There 

 are quite a number of small claims, espe- 

 cially among the smaller growers who 

 sell their own stock. Miss Eaton, for- 

 merly in the flower business, also has 

 gone into bankruptcy, but her liabilities 

 are principally to the landlords on leases. 

 Two or three other buyers have shut up 

 shop, affording further lessons in the 

 necessity for requiring cash from buy- 

 ers of unknown responsibility. 



The E. F. "Winterson Co. is receiving 

 from F. E. Gilman, Rhinebeck, the Mrs, 

 Gilman violet in excellent condition. 



Anton Then, Jr., was found lying un- 

 conscious in one of his father's green- 

 houses November 18. His brother, John, 

 who made the discovery, called help to 

 take him home, where he now is seriously 

 ill vnth typhoid fever. Mrs. Then ia 

 still in the hospital, where her daughter 

 was bom November 10. 



C. "W. MeKellar says that it is im- 

 possible to get anywhere in this country- 

 all the cattleyas that are required just 

 now, between the crops of labiata and
