October 20, has almost decided to make 

 his home permanently at Pasadena. He 

 enjoys perfect health there, whereas the 

 climate at Chicago never has agreed 

 with him. He is considering starting a 

 small greenhouse business in the out- 

 skirts of Pasadena and will make a trip 

 to Philadelphia and New York within 

 the next few days to visit plantsmen, 

 his idea being to specialize on a few 

 varieties exceptionally popular in the 

 vicinity of Los Angeles. 



Did you ever hear of field-grown 

 daisies bringing better money than 12- 

 inch to 14-inch greenhouse roses f Ask 

 A. T. Hey. His new Heyii seedling 

 of Shasta in September, he says, aver- 

 aged better prices than he got for his 

 roses. He has worked up a stock of 

 several thousand plants of the daisy. 

 It is almost ironclad in its hardiness. 



F. F, Scheel is putting in an auxiliary 

 boiler at his establishment at Shermer- 

 ville. It is a second-hand horizontal 

 tubular boiler picked up at a bargain 

 by watching the For Sale ads in The Re- 

 view. In a few days he will be free 

 from the fear of a breakdown that 

 always goes with a range that has only 

 one boiler. 



Fred Eonsley 's new store makes a 

 bright spot on Dearborn street, in a 

 locality that heretofore has had about 

 everything but flower stores. Business 

 has opened well. 



After having visited a number of 

 growers John Miclielsen, of the E. C. 

 Amling Co., says that if the rose men 

 accomplish their evident purpose there 

 will be no scarcity at Christmas. It 

 looks as though all the plants that gave 

 the big summer cut were being brought 

 into an even heavier crop for the 

 holidays. 



One of the most noticeable trucks on 

 the street is that of W. H. Kidwell & 

 Son. It is gray, with bright lettering 

 that catches the eye and advertises the 

 two stores. 



Prince E. C. d'Arenberg, on trial at 

 the Evanston establishment of Weiland 

 & Bisch, is said not to give evidence of 

 adaptability to greenhouse conditions. 



Nate Lewis, manager of Charlie 

 White, American lightweight champion 

 boxer, is reported to be associated with 

 Samuel Graff in the Art Floral Co., 

 recently opened at 7 West Monroe 

 street. Mr. Graff is a brother-in-law 

 of the original "Kid" Herman.
