week; that is, evenings— the days he is 

 spending calling on the retailers to tell 

 them about the Christmas plants he is 

 interested in. 



Andrew Chronis procured the arrest of 

 a man called R. L. Armadale, charging 

 him with impersonating a U. S. secret 

 service officer. The fact appears to be 

 that the "officer" borrowed some money 

 of the florist and neglected to pay it 

 back. 



John Poehlmann, president of the 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., says that White 

 Killarney is proving a better shipper than 

 Kaiserin, though at present even the 

 longest White Killarney the firm is cut- 

 ting has no other advantage over the 

 Kaiserin of the big crop now on. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that the nu- 

 merous big decorations last week and 

 this caused a run on wild smilax. They 

 report the wild smiiax as of excellent 

 quality this season. 



John Mangel says that when he began 

 remodeling his store this summer he 

 threw out everything in the place, so that 

 now the store is new from one end to the 

 other. The fixtures are marble and brass. 

 The window, with a tiled floor, extends to 

 the edge of the sidewalk on both sides of 

 the store, so that those who pass that 

 corner can see everything in the place. 

 It gives excellent opportunity for dis 

 play. 



Max Ringier welcomed a second daugh- 

 ter at his home September 17. There also 

 is a son. 



John Reardon has gone to Ames, la., 

 to become gardener in the horticultural 

 department of the Iowa State College. 



The Peter Eeinberg store was redecor- 

 ated during the present week, and is 

 bright and clean for the fall business. 



George Eeinberg says there is a big 

 call for orchids, with hardly any being 

 cut. C. W. McKellar thinks there will 

 be an abundance of Cattleya labiata 

 within a week. 



N. .1. Wietor says they think better of 

 Mrs. Jardine rose from week to week, but 

 consider it as in a class by itself and not 

 at all a competitor with any other pink 

 rose. 



Martha C. Gunterberg, in the Flower 

 Growers' Market, is already receiving 

 shipments of locally grown single violets.
