 ^vay to Amherst, Mass., where he will 

 tj'ke the college course in floriculture

X. J. Wietor is president of the High 

 ^iilge Improvement Association, which is 

 seeing that the property owners get a 

 square deal in the cost and quality of 

 <'ie paving to be put down on a number 

 ft" streets in Eogers Park. The improve- 

 'I'ont affects a number of growers who 

 lifive frontages on the streets to be im- 

 l>Joved. 



•Tohn Mxiir's sister now runs the three 



sets of books kept by the ]Muir estab- 

 lishments. 



Bassett & Washburn are making a 

 trial of a new machine for getting out 

 price-lists and other circulars. It is the 

 Planotype, made by the A. B. Dick 

 Co., which also makes the machine now 

 in use in many wholesale establishments. 

 The new machine prints direct from type 

 and produces a fine imitation of a type- 

 written letter. 



George Walther reports that a real 

 estate agent who has the big building at 

 State and Lake streets, formerly occu-

 Castle, has been cutting 150 to 200 long 

 Beauties a day. 



John Zech has been laid up for a day or 

 two by rheumatism, and two of the chil- 

 dren in the family have the whooping 

 cough. 



W. H. Hiltoji has been confined to his 

 home for three weeks with rheumatism 

 and there is little prospect of his getting 

 out until after Christmas. 



J. P. Kisch makes a different report 

 from most of the growers. He says 

 crops are on with Weiland & Eisch and 

 that too much warm, bright weather will 

 rush them off before Christmas. 



Dom. Freres says he has considered 

 business good so far this month. He 

 sells the Muno stock. 



Arthur Blome, who buys for Paul 

 Blome & Co., says he never has seen a 

 season when wholesale prices were so 

 steadily in the retailers' favor, especially 

 on roses, but alsd on carnations. He says
