Mention The Review when you write 



27x200, to be completed by March 1, for 

 planting to White Killarney in case one 

 bench of it now on the place behaves in 

 approved fashion this Avinter. 



The J. A. Budlong estate is cutting 

 Mrs. Jardine rose of exceptional quality. 



E. H. Hunt is clearing a large space at 

 the front of the store preparatory to 

 building a glass enclosed sample room, in 

 which it is planned to tastefully display 

 a sample of every item carried in the 

 supply department. 



Heim Bros., at Blue Island, have re- 

 paired the damage done by the big hail 

 storm last spring, and have the place all 

 planted to roses, Eichmond, Killarney, 

 Maid and Bride. Their original inten- 

 tion was to plant part of the place to 

 carnations, and they had the stock in the 

 field for that purpose, when they changed 

 their minds and decided to go in exclu- 

 sively foi- roses. The field-grown carna- 

 tion plants have proved to be excellent 

 property. In repairing the damage done 

 by the storm the Heim boys themselves 

 erected a new 80-foot brick stack. 



The A. L. Kandall Co. is receiving 

 White Killarney in considerable quan- 

 tity and good length of stem. A few My 

 Maryland also are received. 



Percy Jones says that explorations in- 

 dicate that practically every grower has 

 his place in splendid shape, and that this 

 market may look for larger and better 

 supplies this season than in any previous 

 year. 



Field-grown carnations continue in ex- 

 cellent demand. What happened with 

 many of the growers is shown by the 

 loss of 20,000 plants in the field at Capt. 

 Schuttler's place at Wilmette. 



George Asmus reached home Septem- 

 ber 4 from his vacation. From Cincin- 

 nati he went to Cedar Kapids and other 

 Iowa places, thence to St. Louis for a 

 few days, and then home. 



Yaughan & Sperry have added a plant 

 department temporarily to their business. 

 One of their growers needed room more 

 than he did a bench of nice araucarias, 

 so he sent them in to be sold. 



The work of fitting up the rooms in the 

 Atlas block for Hoerber Bros, and Kyle 

 & Foerster is progressing rapidly. The 

 stores will be among the finest in the 

 wholesale section.

New crop Killarney, Bride, My Maryland and American 

 Beauty Roses, and Enchantress and White Carnations,

J.B.MDRDOCB SCO., ,JAL^ Pittsburg, Pa. 



Mention The Review whgn vou writ«» 



Weber and Gottlieb, Labor day, on a trip 

 to inspect the establishment of the A. F. 

 Amling Co., at Maywood, and Wendland 

 & Keimel, at Elmhurst. 



Louis Wittbold is a hay fever sufferer. 



E. B. Washburn returned September 7 

 from a few days' visit in New York. O. 

 P. Bassett and a party of friends are on 

 the way to New York city in Mr. Bas- 

 sett 's automobile. They spent Septem- 

 ber 5 at Niagara Falls. 



Peter Reinberg is cutting Perle in con- 

 siderable quantity. This is a rose no 

 longer generally grown for this market, 

 but for which there is frequently excel- 

 lent demand. 



C. W. McKellar and Mrs. McKellar re- 

 turned September 5 from their visit with 

 friends in Michigan. They made the trip 

 of 163 miles by auto in one day. Den- 

 drobium formosum also returned to Mc- 

 Kellar 's this week. 



E. S. Thompson, South Haven, Mich., 

 was in town September 6 and says frost 

 last week nipped the dahlias, but not 

 enough to hurt. North of Grand Rapids 

 it was reported to him the frost was 

 heavy enough to kill corn. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. uses the corru- 

 gated pasteboard boxes exclusively for 

 shipping stock from Morton Grove, the 

 saving in express being considerable. 

 They have had crates made in which the 

 empties are packed knocked down as they 



accumulate at the store. When a crate is 

 filled, with some fifty boxes, it is shipped 

 back to the greenhouses by freight. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has issued 

 its fall list of bulbs, plants and shrubs. 

 The business in August is reported as 

 much better than a year ago, and Sep- 

 tember starting briskly. Among the 

 specialties handled are the primulas of 

 Alois Frey. 



Among the week's visitors have been 

 Prof. Adolph Buysseus, of the University 

 of Vilfordt, whom the Belgian govern- 

 ment has sent to this country to study 

 floricultural methods, and especially the 

 carnation industry; J. A. Peterson, presi- 

 dent of the Cincinnati Florists' Society; 

 E. H. R. Green, president of the Green 

 Floral & Nursery Co., Dallas, Tex. ; J. S. 

 Wilson, Des Moines, la.; Walter Retzer. 

 St. Louis ; M. Rocklin, Sioux Falls, la. : 

 E. S. Thompson, South Haven, Mich. ; 

 Edward Reid, wholesale florist of Phil 

 adelphia, westward bound. 



Winchester, Tenn. — Jack Muflf re- 

 ports that the latter part of August he 

 had a notably heavy run of both funeral 

 and wedding orders. 



Gkafton, Mass. — Lyman F, Gordon, on 

 South street, has bought the Norcross ix. 

 Stratton greenhouses, with the residence 

 and land, owned by Joseph E. Noreross,
