 Roses that are now coming into this market. Big heavy buds, perfect color, 

 heavy foliage. Especially sfood value at 6c, 7c and 8c. Order some today and 

 we are sure you will want more of them.

WHOLESALE GROWER OF CUT FLOWERS 



Mpnrion ThA Kpt1<»w wh^n »on write. 



but is still forced to have the injured 

 member dressed daily. John Sinner has 

 had both the greenhouses and store on 

 his hands since July 4. 



Henry Wittbold has a Federal truck 

 that is of great value in hauling plants 

 and decorative materials. It has made 

 two trips from Evanston to the South 

 Shore Country Club in one day, hauling 

 heavy loads. 



At a meeting last week, participated 

 in by representatives of most of the 

 leading wholesale houses, the National 

 Wholesale Florists' Association was or- 

 ganized. There are no officers. Mr. 

 Webb, of the Wilber Mercantile Agency, 



was elected manager. The purpose is 

 to operate a credit and collection bu- 

 reau, for the equal benefit of all, such 

 as are in successful operation in other 

 trades and among the wholesale florists 

 in New York. Each member pays $150 

 per year dues and posts $100, to be 

 forfeited in case the rules are violated. 

 Eighteen houses joined at once. A pro- 

 vision is made for admitting some of 

 the smaller wholesalers- at a proportion- 

 ate fee. The majority feel that the 

 association will correct the worst evil 

 in the trade today, that of lax credits. 

 One of the week 's visitors was W. W. 

 Dederick, of Warsaw, Ind., who was 



buying material for an addition to his 

 establishment. 



Bloomington, 111.— The I. D. Lain 

 greenhouses have been completely over- 

 hauled during the summer and are now 

 in first-class condition. 



Creston, la. — The greenhouse of the 

 Creston Greenhouse & Floral Co., 306 

 South Birch street, was open to the 

 public on a recent Sunday and there 

 were more than 1,000 visitors. Carl 

 Gehrecke is the owner and, theugh he 

 has been here only a few months, 

 already finds he needs another house.
