 ;iie worse. Mrs. Jones, who is a sister

constantly at his side. His business 



isrests are in the capable hands of 



nry Van Gelaer, who is one of the 

 rnest young men in the market and 

 '0 has been with Mr. Jones practically 

 ''r since he entered the wholesale field. 

 T. J. Johnson, a colored man who has 

 •(le quite a success of a flower store 



399 East Thirty-first street, died sud- 

 uly September 26, of pneumonia. He 



was on the market buying stock two 

 days before his death. He was a hard 

 worker and stood well with the whole- 

 salers. A wife survives. 



There is difference of opinion among 

 the growers as to the earliness of mums. 

 Some say their stock will be in quite a 

 little earlier than last year, while others 

 deplore the fact, in view of the present 

 excellent market, that their early varie- 

 ties are not as far along as they were 

 last season at this date. 



During the summer Peter Beinberg has 

 erected a large modern storage shed for 

 coal at his Robey street establishment 

 and has secured a private sidetrack from 

 the Northwestern railroad. The track 

 is elevated at the shed so that coal can 



be dumped, instead of shoveled, from 

 the cars either into the shed or into 

 wagons. There is storage space for 

 about forty cars. 



Carl Thomas, of the A. L. Bandall Co., 

 who has been spending the summer at hia 

 old home at West Springfield, Pa., re- 

 turns this week to take up his winter 

 duties. He is accompanied by a niece, 

 who will attend the University of Chi- 

 cago. 



F. F. Benthey says that Maid has hung 

 back a little all season, but this week 

 the decrease in the supply of roses has 

 been such that Maid has come into its 

 own again. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says business is best when flowers are 

 poorest; he means that under conditions 

 such as prevailed at the end of last week 

 and the beginning of this one, buyers 

 were so glad to get stock that they did 

 not stop to criticise its quality or quibble 

 over the price. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 spent September 25 at Grand Rapids, 

 and is in Rhinebeck, N. Y., this week, 

 looking over the violet situation. 



The baseball team of the Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., Morton Grove, visited Hins- 

 dale September 26 for a game with the 

 greenhouse employees of Bassett & 

 Washburn, winning 6 to 3. August and 

 Adolph Poehlmann and their children 

 accompanied the ball players and rooters. 

 Mrs. August Poehlmann has been in a 

 Chicago hospital for a fortnight, but is 

 now restored nearly to perfect health.
