deep in the pile. There were 200 tons 

 in the shed and it took eighteen hours' 

 hard work, with all the help available, 

 to move it to the open and extinguish 

 the fire. 



Tim Matchen, sales manager for Pe- 

 ter Reinberg, says October 21 was the 

 biggest day of the month at his estab- 

 lishment. 



The E. C. Amling Co. says that chrys- 

 anthemum growing is receiving a fresh 

 impetus this season, average prices be- 

 ing distinctly better than last year 

 and practically double what was re- 

 ceived for the early varieties two years 

 ago. 



Mr. and Mrs. O. Johnson, of the Ba- 

 tavia Greenhouse Co., have been enter- 

 taining a niece from Ludington, Mich., 

 who returned home October 21. 



D. E. Preres, who has done prin- 

 cipally local business heretofore, is 

 planning to increase his shipping this 

 season, believing that best results are 

 obtained by having a balanced business. 



President John P. Kidwell, of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association, 

 says the stockholders' quarterly meet- 

 ing, held October 16, was unusually 

 snceessful and the report showed an in- 

 crease in business over last year. 



John Mangel has installed a new dis- 

 play refrigerator in his Palmer House 

 store, of handsome design, that was 

 constructed by the Decorators' Supply 

 Co., at a cost of $2,500. 



Gus Alles, who is N. J. Wietor 's right- 

 hand man in the store, says October 

 thus far has been one of the best he 

 can remember. 



While the second early mums were 

 ' somewhat slow in reaching the cutting 



point, Phil Schupp, of J. A. Budlong's, 

 asserts that he has noticed that it did 

 not hurt the quality of the fancy ones 

 but on the other hand added to both 

 the bloom and stem by the slow growth. 



Florin Cipar is again to be found at 

 his old place at E. H. Hunt's. He will 

 continue his retail store on Halsted 

 street until the expiration of his lease. 

 He has a patent on a folding drum that 

 now is paying him a steady royalty. 



William Kidwell says that he has 

 featured the sale of potted plants in 

 fancy baskets for the last ten years 

 and now has a big demand as a result. 

 He claims that reasonable prices on 

 these keeps his business steady, even 

 when others find the cut flower demand 

 falling oflF. 



A. Henderson & Co. report the ar- 

 rival of two more cars of Lilium gigan- 

 teum. 



A. L. Vaughan, of A. L. Vaughan & 

 Co., is nursing a case of blood poison. 

 In removing a growth on his right 

 hand, the infection resulted and only 

 prompt attention prevented serious 

 complications. 



Weddings have made things lively 

 for J. A. Mendel, at 1424 West Eight- 

 eenth street, and October 19 the staff 

 was rushed from morning until night 

 getting out bouquets. 



A. C. Spencer, of Kyle & Foerster, 

 comments on the fact that violets are 

 of much better quality than last sea- 

 son at this time. 



John Kruchten says the gardenias 

 are not coming along so fast as he 

 would like, as the present shipments 

 make it hard to supply the demand. 



A. H. Budlong, who is in charge of

 always stock that will turn 

 them a profit. I can help a 

 few more out-of-town steady

 his mother, Mrs. T. A. Budlong, widow 

 of J. A. Budlong, has not been in the 

 best of health during the summer, but 

 now is feeling more like himself and 

 is putting his old-time energy into his 

 work. He reports the stock, which 

 was planted late, as having recently 

 made good growth. 



Sullivan Bros., at 863 West Sixty- 

 third street, say that church wedding 

 decorations have kept the force on the
