The baseball team composed of em- 

 ployees of Bassett & Washburn, at 

 Hinsdale, 111., visited Morton Grove Sep- 

 tember 12 for a game with the team of 

 employees of Poehlmann Bros. Co. Prac-

drew Benson, went over in Mr. Wash- 

 burn's automobile. After the game, 

 which resulted in a victory of eleven to 

 three for Poehlmann, August Poehlmann

Various Notes. 



W. C. Johnson, one of E. H. Hunt's 

 travelers, is having a successful trip to 

 the coast. 



A. W. Morgan, who recently bought 

 Iralson's store on Forty-third street, was 

 found dead in bed September 10. Only 



eight days before he had been elected a

The new La Salle hotel, which was 

 opened last week, continues to use large 

 quantities of flowers in the lobby and in 

 the dining-room. O. J. Friedman has 

 the work. 



Phil Schupj), of J. A. Budlong's, says 

 he thinks Mrs. Jardine rose will be a

 plants having been disbudded earlier, as 

 they find it does not pay to cut short 

 roses, unless they are white. 



Weiland & Risch are cutting a nice 

 crop of My Maryland, but John P. Risch 

 says Killarney still holds its own in their 

 estimation, and that they do not believe 

 Maryland will prove a strong competitor. 



When J. H. Miller, the carnation 

 grower, was seen at Vaughan & Sperry's 

 one day this week he was carrying his
