The regular directors' meeting of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 was held November 6. 



Erne & Klingel have found it neces- 

 sary to utilize the remaining overhead 

 space in their store and the west side 

 of the quarters has been double-decked 

 to care for shipping boxes and sup- 

 plies. Mr. Erne says the shipping trade 

 is increasing every day. 



Gov. Woodrow Wilson, William How- 

 ard Taft and Theodore Koosevelt have 

 made their headquarters at the estab- 

 lishment of A. L. Vaughan & Co. They 

 come from the Rockford mum growing 

 plant of H. W. Buckbee. The Gov. 

 Wilson is a fine looking yellow, but 

 nevertheless "Teddy" quite "de-light- 

 ed" a majority — especially the Bull

William Homburg, of J. A. Budlong's 

 shipping department, reports business 

 rather quiet by contrast with the big 

 All Saints' day rush, but expects it to 

 pick up again now that election is over 

 and Thanksgiving approaching. 



Miss Ida Evert, who is selling the 

 chrysanthemums of her brothers, John 

 and Nick Evert, at the newly opened 

 store at 32 East Eandolph street, re- 

 ports good business thus far. The sea- 

 son's cut will be around 150,000. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says he does not recall a time when 

 there was a better shipping demand at 

 the end of October, even if this was 

 presidential year. 



C. l! Washburn says that the retail- 

 ers are in no hurry to take up the single 

 chrysanthemum, but that, once tried,

they almost invariably come back for 

 more. 



After a look at the stock at their Des 

 Plaines greenhouse plant, F. C. Hoerber, 

 of Hoerber Bros., says everything points 

 to big Thanksgiving and Christmas 

 crops. 



Guy Eeburn, of the firm of A. Hen- 

 derson & Co., is back from an extended 

 business trip and reports that the fall 

 trade is unusually brisk in all the sec- 

 tions visited. "Everyone is buying, re- 

 gardless of the fact that the election 

 of a president has taken a lot of atten- 

 tion from business," he said. 



Peter Eeinberg is one of those who 

 is not growing mums heavily this year. 

 All the space he is giving them will be 

 turned over to the propagators as soon 

 as the mums are cut. 



D. E. Freres and O. A. Tenner, who 

 share a room in the Atlas block, say 

 they are doing much better than at this 

 time last year.
