 of the foliage will be fortunate. There 

 will be a big spring crop. 



While Anton Then was walking down 

 Market street in San Francisco a few 

 days ago he was hailed by a man 

 selling flowers from a stand on the 

 sidewalk, who jwoved to be T. D, Mos- 

 conesotes, perhaps better recalled as 

 Moscow. That gentleman at one time 

 'enjoyed the distinction of being one of 

 Chicago's leading retail florists, when 

 he had a store in the Masonic Temple. 



According to Ed Enders, right-hand 

 man these many years for C. A. Samuel- 

 son, the social season this year will be 

 unusually active. He says the flower 

 stores of the better class all through 

 the country will be beneflted by the 

 fact that wealthy people will stay at 

 home this winter. 



Next door to his residence on Sheri- 

 dan road, John Mangel owns a swell 

 6-apartment building at the corner of 

 North Shore avenue. The rental is 

 $450 per month. 



According to the old saying, "it is 

 an ill wind that blows nobody good," 

 and it is so in the matter of the pro- 

 longed Indian summer. The cemetery 

 florists have been doing unusually well. 

 Ordinarily at this season they have 

 carnations and mums to wholesale, but 

 Xavery Wijtkiewicz, whose place in 

 Niles is opposite the burying ground, 

 says he has been able to retail all he 

 has cut this season. His winter crops 

 go to Kennicott Bros. Co. 



Arnold Eingier, of the W. W. Bar 

 nard Co., returned to Chicago October 

 10, after a trip eastward. 



A. Lange featured chrysanthemums 

 October 9 and 10 by advertising a mum 

 show. For this exhibition Mr. Lange 

 bought some of the choicest of the 

 early mums in the market. Jeffery, 

 Crocus, Chrysolora, Golden Glow and 

 October Frost were among the varieties 

 shown and the public bought freely 

 as a result of the advertising. 



Word has been received of the ar- 

 rival of a baby boy at the home of 

 Mr. and Mrs. John Stuppy, at St. 

 Joseph, Mo. They were married in 

 Chicago. 



Richard Parker, traveler for Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., was in town for the 

 week end. He has recently been in 

 the cotton states and insists conditions 

 among the florists are not what daily
