You know what hot weather does to stock. Well, Milwaukee is well favored, 

 as we have no very hot weather here, and in consequence stock of all kinds is in 

 good shape. Big cut of fancy Carnations, Roses and Giganteums. Try a few shipments 

 and be convinced.!

man's birthday anniversary and in honor 

 of the occasion he has invited several 

 retailers and wholesalers to luncheon 

 at the Hofbrau, intending incidentally 

 to talk over trade interests. It is re- 

 ported the retailers will have a number 

 of suggestions as to how the wholesale 

 business should be conducted, but that 

 the wholesalers' thought, aside from the 

 repast, will be of some plan of making 

 more prompt collections. 



Various Notes. 



The Foley Mfg. Co. has just closed the 

 purchase of a piece of ground, 194x100 



feet, at the southwest corner of Twenty- 

 fifth street and Artesian avenue, and nine 

 other lots in the same block. This prop- 

 erty adjoins the present plant of the 

 Foley company at Twenty-sixth street 

 and Western avenue and its acquisition 

 will give the company the entire block 

 between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth 

 streets and Western and Artesian ave- 

 nues. It is understood the property will 

 be used for an enlargement of the com- 

 pany 's plant. 



It is reported that the firm of F. Cal- 

 vert & Son, which the Review recently 

 stated had sold out to Otto Triebwasser, 



of Kansas City, was started at Lake 

 Forest October 1, 1884, so that the busi- 

 ness has been established almost twenty- 

 five years. The sale was due to the death 

 of Frank Calvert and the failing health 

 of E. S. Calvert. Mr. Triebwasser will 

 continue the business, using the name 

 Calvert Floral Co. 



The prelimiiiary premium list for the 

 flower show to be given at the Coliseum 

 in November by the Horticultural So- 

 ciety of Chicago has been issued. It 

 follows closely the lists of the years pre- 

 ceding the national flower show and car- 

 ries the usual liberal premiums, the of- 

 ferings in the 142 classes amounting to 

 $2,981.50. Anyone interested in show 

 matters can address J. H. Burdett, sec- 

 retary, 1620 West One Hundred and 

 Fourth place, Chicago. 



Albert T. Hey, formerly of Spring- 

 field and later manager of Vaughan's 

 Greenhouses, Western Springs, 111., Sep- 

 tember 1 took possession of the F. E. 

 Hills establishment at Maywood, which 

 he will hereafter conduct. It is Mr. 

 Hey's intention to gradually turn the 

 place into growing fancy pot plants. 



The Florists' Club will hold its regular 

 monthly meeting this evening, September 

 2, at the Union restaurant. 



Captain Schuttler's place at Wilmette 

 has largely been planted to roses in- 

 stead of to carnations this season. 



John H. Miller, one of Vaughan & 

 Sperry's carnation growers, recently 

 made a trip to the Seattle exposition and 

 while in the west registered for all three
