Poehlmann's Additioa. 



igust Poehlmann states that if the 

 "houses built this year by the Foehl- 

 1^ Bros. Co. had been put up end to 

 instead of side by side they wonld 

 made a greenhouse 27x7,500 — a 

 uhouse almost a mile and a half long. 

 i? believed that this is the largest 

 unt of glass ever put up in one year 

 my greenhouse concern in America, 

 glass used was 16x24 throughout, 

 'it of these houses were added to 

 t B, but most of them were at plant 

 ^here a new boiler-shed was put up, 

 ' a capacity of taking care of a mil- 

 feet of glass. The structure is 

 -00 and thirty feet high, built of 

 ^- It will eventually contain twelve 

 '"IS, equipped with traveling grates. 



Various Notes. 



' is interesting to note that at the 

 ingfield flower show last week there 



was no entry in any of the three classes 

 provided for cut blooms of Chatenay, al- 

 though $12 was offered as a premium for 

 fifty blooms. Evidently this old and 

 once largely grown variety has had its 

 day. 



It is suggested that if wholesalers 

 would adopt uniform names for the dif- 

 ferent grades of roses, as long ago was 

 done for Beauties, it would be a great 

 convenience for out-of-town buyers, and 

 also for the order clerks. 



E. C. Amling has a number of growers 

 at Maywood whose specialty at this sea- 

 son is a crop of Halliday mums. He 

 says that one grower is ahead of last sea- 

 son with them, but that the others seem 

 to be later than usual in starting to cut. 



Peter Eeinberg's political friends will 

 not let him rest. Now he is being urged 

 to run for sheriff of Cook county at the 

 next election. 



Eli H. Doud. president of the Acorn 

 Brass Mfg. Co., on West Eandolph 



street, is a goldfish fancier and owner of 

 the Auburndale Goldfish Co., of which K. 

 N. Cooper is manager. In addition to 

 raising goldfish for the wholesale trade, 

 the concern handles a full line of supplies 

 and reports that florists are all the time 

 becoming better customers, for goldfish 

 are one of the best side lines that florists 

 handle. 



Hoerber Bros, are planning to plant 

 about an acre of peonies for cut flowers 

 at tiieir establishment at Des Plaines. 



Miss Grace Kennicott, daughter of the 

 late Flint Kennicott, has recently 

 achieved much success in light opera. She 

 now is the prima donna in "A Stubborn 

 Cinderella. ' ' 



Miss Evert returned to the Flower 

 Growers' Market October 13 to sell the 

 chrysanthemums of her brother. Mat 

 Evert, which are now being cut. 



Miss Hertba V. Tonner says that she is 

 proud of the fact that she has been a 

 commission salesman at the Flower
