BEAUTIES 



FINE STOCK- ALL LENGTHS-- LARGE SUPPLY 



We do not recall a year when the opening of the fall season found us so well able to furnish Beauties 

 at moderate prices. Your trade likes Beauties best of all — get them started now, at the opening of the 

 season, while good Beauties are plentiful and low in price, and you can keep them buying Beauties all 

 through the season. 



FANCY ROSES IN ALL VARIETIES 



A large cut of Roses of all varieties is on — all lengths, good tight buds that will ship to best satis- 

 faction. You sell the stock — we can supply it. 



WHITE ORCHIDS FOR THE AUTUMN BRIDE'S BOUQUETS 



Don't forget that we still are headquarters for Gladioli, Asters, Lilies and all other flowers in season.

Gladioli also are in big supply and 

 fhe receipts of America, Francis King 

 and Augusta are heavier than at any 

 time this season. These do not appear 

 to have suffered in quality as much as 

 some of the other stock, but it is impos- 

 sible to clean up, no matter how low the 

 price is made. The mixed glads sim- 

 ply cannot be sold. Outdoor carnations 

 are arriving in considerable quantity, 

 while the cut from indoors has increased 

 to a marked extent, but with so large 

 a supply of other stock carnations do 

 not yet cut much figure in the doings of 

 the market. Valley and orchids are 

 probably the only seasonable flowers 

 that are not overloading the ice-boxes, 

 although Easter lilies are not in excess 

 of the demand at the present. Cattleyas 

 are unusually scarce. Chrysanthemums 

 are fine and abundant but not in re- 

 quest. Greens are still holding the usual 

 siunmer prices and the first shipments 

 of wild smilax have been reported. 



The High Bidge Show. 



One of the big annual events in the 

 Bogers Park section, where greenhouses 

 are so thick that the tall chimneys 

 produce the same effect on the landscape 

 that the derricks do in the oil regions, 

 is the Luxemberger Schobermesse. It 

 is held Labor day and the Sunday pre- 

 ceding and always brings out a throng. 

 The showing of vegetables, and espe- 

 cially greenhouse vegetables, is worth 

 the trip, not to mention the cut flow- 

 ers, which always make a good showing. 

 The Wietor brothers were born on High 

 Bidge, but are firm in the belief that 

 the next best place in the world is 

 the fatherland of their parents and are 

 active in all Luxemberger affairs. They 

 bring their best to this show. The cut 

 flowers were judged this year by John 

 Zech, of Zech & Mann, and A. C. Kohl- 

 brand, of the E. C. Amling Co. They 

 awarded first prizes to Wietor Bros, 

 for two lots of Beauties, one of 100 find 

 the other of fifty flowers, for Mrs. Jar- 

 dine, Killarney, White Killarney, My

Maryland and Bichmond roses, and on 

 six varieties of carnations. The George 

 Wittbold Co. was first and Nick Bead- 

 ing second for decorative plants. 

 Vaughan's Seed Store was first for col- 

 lection of gladioli, asters, phlox and 

 other outdoor flowers. Fischer Bros., of 

 Evanston, were given second for a bed 

 of cannas. 



Various Notes. 



Emil Buettner has at length dropped 

 the Mrs. Lawson carnation. He was one 

 of the most successful growers of this 



variety and stood by it after many 

 other good growers had discarded it. 

 He is about the last of the larger grow- 

 ers to let go. 



Miss L. A. Tenner, who for years has 

 been in the supply department of the 

 A. L. Bandall Co., has resigned to take 

 effect October 1 and will go south to 

 go into the pecan and nursery business, 

 it having been reported in The.Beview 

 some months ago that she had made in- 

 vestments in that section. Though the 

 move has been in contemplation for
