 those who were merely lookers during 

 the convention week, 



John Sinner says a season never 

 promised better than the present for 

 Sinner Bros. Usually they employ eight 

 men during the summer, but this year 

 have had ten, with the result that they 

 have been able to push the work in- 

 stead of having the work push them. 



This is the third and final month of 

 the occupation of Orchestra hall by 

 moving picture shows managed by Lub- 

 liner & Trinz. They are doing well and 

 making a profit on .the $5,000 per month 

 rental. 



George Walther, reporting for Engle- 

 wood, says there are no changes there, 

 "everybody hanging on tight" and 

 finding the net results of the summer 

 season much the same as usual. 



Miss Martha C. Gunterberg is ex- 

 pected home next week. She has been 

 in Maine since the Boston convention. 



Charles Abbott, the ^ Crown Point 

 grower, is confined to hia home by ill- 

 ness. 



The A. L. Randan Co. reports a most 

 satisfactory e^^ason in plants, which 

 llave been handled in larger quantities 

 than ever before. Field-grown carna- 

 tion plants are said to be still selling 

 excellently. 



Albert T. Hey, of Maywood, had busi- 

 ness at Springfield September 5 and 

 spent Suifday with J.' F. Ammann at 

 Edwardsville. . . 



The Chicago Florists' Club will open 



its autumn season tonight, September

The Corner Florist, 2901 Cottage 

 Grove avenue, has reopened after be- 

 ing closed during the month of August. 

 Frank F. Storck, who conducts a drug 

 store at 2839 Cottage Grove avenue, is 

 owner, but the shop is managed by Miss 

 Tillie Mayr. 



After having been confined to his 

 home last week with a severe cold, 

 Frank Hagen is again on duty at 

 George Reinberg's city store. 



K. N. Cooper, manager of the Au- 

 burndale Goldfish Co., reports that 



f rices on imported stock have more 

 han doubled on account of the Euro- 

 pean trouble.

The Market. 



Market conditions show but slight im- 

 provement over what they have been 

 for the last month. Business continues 

 light and it is doubtful whether there 

 will be much increase in the month of 

 September. 



Carnatixins are almost out of the mar- 

 ket. The new crop is coming in, but 

 in such limited quantities that it is 

 impossible to fill any good sized order. 

 The stock is short-stemmed and the 

 flowers arfe small. Were there any real- 

 ly good carnations on the market, the 

 stock that is now coming in would have 

 no sale, but, as conditions' are, the small

 bringing good prices, Roses are not so 

 plentiful as heretofore, but the supplj 

 is still fairly large and the quality is 

 excellent. Prima Donna, Mrs. Charles 

 Russell and Killarney are the best sell 

 ers, although other roses are moving 

 readily. Asters are poor, owing to the 

 long spell of dry weather. "While they 

 are selling well, it is mostly bc' ause
