bronze galax in the last few months 

 has not been up to his expectations. He 

 lays it to the general use now made of 

 the prepared magnolia leaves. 



The A. L. Eandall Co. is steadily de- 

 veloping the manufacturing department 

 of the supply business. Euscus is just 

 now receiving special attention in antic- 

 ipation of a Christmas demand even 

 heavier than last year. 



George Fisher has returned from his 

 vacation, spent at Kalamazoo. 



A meeting of the stockholders of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 was held September 18. President Kid- 

 well says that the first month since the 

 annual meeting shows an excellent gain 

 over a year ago, when the association 

 was organized. 



The former quarters of the Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., in the basement of the 

 Atlas block, now are being used by the 

 company's supply department for the 

 storage of moss and other bulky stock. 



John Michelsen says the E. C. Amling 

 Co. will market from 8,000 to 9,000 

 Cattleya labiata in the next two months. 



The executive committee in charge 

 of convention affairs had a meeting at 

 the Union restaurant Monday evening, 

 September 16, to close up its work. It 

 is now proposed, instead of applying all 



the profits of the souvenir album on 

 the convention expenses, to put part of 

 the profit into some sort of a semi- 

 permanent fund against the next time 

 of need, but there are those who do not 

 think this would be keeping faith with 

 those who contributed to the convention 

 fund, and no decision has as yet been 

 reached. 



N.; J. Wietor is running a new 7- 

 passenger Haynes touring car. He liked 

 the 5-passenger car he has had for the 

 last eight months so well that he sold 

 it and bought a larger one. 



C. W. McKellar says his advices from 

 the east are that the crop of Cattleya 

 labiata is close at hand and will be the 

 heaviest yet. 



Tim Matchen says that Peter Bein- 

 berg had one of the best weeks in a 

 long time with Beauties September 9 

 to 16. 



C. F. McCormick is at Baltimore, try- 

 ing to buy up that town's supply of 

 souvenir postals. 



The Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion will hold its monthly meeting at 

 the Tavern tonight, September 19. Sec- 

 retary A. T. Pyfer says a complete 

 winter program is in course of prepa- 

 ration. There now are 155 members. 



A. Henderson reports that the Dutch 



bulb shipments have started to come 

 in and from now on the shipping force 

 will have its hands full. 



William Dittman, of New Castle, Ind., 

 writes A. C. Spencer, of Kyle & Foer- 

 ster, that his American Beauties are 

 more promising in appearance than in 

 any previous year. 



H. N. Bruns, who is expected home 

 next week, wrote The Review from 

 Hamburg just before sailing: "Flower 

 stores are numerous all over Germany 

 and are prettily arranged. They keep 

 up a splendid show, of made up baskets, 

 wreaths and other arrangements ready 

 for sale, and more elaborate than Chi- 

 cago stores do. In the greenhouse 

 business itself I was rather disap- 

 pointed; they have not made the prog- 

 ress we have. The flower business 

 seems to be split up. Too much is done 

 outdoors in summer and in the winter 

 all kinds of flowers are shipped from 

 Italy and southern France; consequently 

 the majority of florists have a hard 

 time to make both ends meet." 



New oflSce equipment is being in- 

 stalled in the Percy Jones wholesale 

 store, while a glass partition has been 

 put in which adds greatly to the ap- 

 pearance of the entire floor.
