Mention The Review when you write. 



The green goods market is quiet. 

 There is an abundance of everything. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph Straus, with the A. L. Ean- 

 dall Co., reports that the retailers are 

 much hampered by the rules of the 

 elevated railroad companies, prohibiting 

 passengers with large bundles passing 

 through the gates. The florists seldom 

 use the transportation lines to carry 

 home stock during the rush hours; trade 

 demands are otherwise. 



The repairing of the Flower Growers' 

 Market building is progressing so slow- 

 ly that some of the stand-holders are be- 

 coming impatient. 



John Michelsen, of Amling's, with his 

 family, is vacationing at the lakes in 

 the vicinity of McHenry, 111. 



Harry Lubliner, of Lubliner & Trinz, 

 says the summer has seemed short be- 

 cause there has been so good a supply 

 of stock, making business possible. 



Miss Gunterberg is handling the stock 

 of Sinner Bros., reciprocating during 

 John Sinner's absence for his care of 

 her own supplies during her vacation. 



Gus Lange and family have returned 

 from their visit at Omaha. 



A. H. Budlong has been at Lake 

 Geneva for several days. Miss Nelda 

 Wolf, who keeps the J. A. Budlong 

 books, has spent a part of her vacation 

 at the Budlong cottage at the lake. 



Phil Schupp says buyers now prefer 

 My Maryland to other pink roses. 



L. E. Bohannon is fishing at Sister 

 Lakes and Crooked Lake. 



Fred Sperry, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 with his family, is looked for this week, 

 returning from an outing at Minneap- 

 olis. 



Henry Wehrman, at Maywood, has 

 five houses planted to mums, which he 

 will follow.with sweet peas. Mr. Wehr- 

 man was the pioneer grower of winter- 

 flowering sweet peas for this market 

 and much of the present popularity of 

 these flowers is due to his persistency 

 when the demand was small. 



B. Abrahamson is now exploiting his 

 auto delivery service for florists. 



Peter Reinberg is progressing rapid- 

 ly with the planting of his carnation 

 houses. The rose cut is light, but con- 

 siderable quantities of Beauties are re- 

 ceived. 



George Pieser is no longer with Zech 

 & Mann. 



F. F. Benthey, with Kyle & Foerster, 

 who is the oldest man in the market, 

 says he never has seen a summer when 

 business has been so good, or so steady,

 large. 



E. B. Washburn, now the picture of 

 health, is spending a part of each day 

 in the oflBce of E'assett & Washburn. 

 The rest of the time he keeps in touch 

 with affairs at the greenhouses. 



E. F. Winterson says that never since 

 he has been in business has the cut 

 flower trade been so good in summer as 

 has been the case this year. In the seed 

 store French bulbs are in and Dutch 

 stock is expected soon. 



Ernst Amling, son of Albert F. Am- 

 ling, has put up a range of about 18,- 

 000 feet of glass at Maywood, planted

 and one-half feet. The stack is plannei' 

 to take care of a considerable increas- 

 in glass. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is adding large 

 ly to the importance of its orchid de- 

 partment. Several thousand freshly col 

 lected cattleyas have recently arrive ■ 

 and have been potted up. It is the in 

 tention to be able to maintain a con 

 stant supply. 



D. L. Harris, manager for the Pul- 

 verized Manure Co., says it keeps hin. 

 humping to get enough raw material 

 to fill the orders that are pouring in; 

 in fact, he says they are simply 

 swamped with business. 



H. N. Bruns is one of the many ^^' 

 rists who have found the sale of goM- 

 fish a decidedly profitable side line. H<? 

 has a large aquarium filled with fish 

 in his store window and he finds that
