warehouse company makes a charge of 50 

 cents for opening up. The charge is 50 

 cents whether one case comes out, or 

 whether 100 cases come out. Conse- 

 quently the jobber, to break even, must 

 charge 50 cents extra when orders are 

 only for a single case. If a jobber stored 

 100 cases and took them out one at a 

 time to fill orders he would have to pay 

 $50 in addition to the monthly fee per 

 ease for storing. 



The Flower (Jrowers' Market closed 

 October 25 at 11 a. m. for the day, be- 

 cause of the funeral of its manager, 

 Percy Jones. It is expected John Sinner 

 will be the new manager. 



George Pieser, of Hoerber Bros., has 

 been visiting the greenhouses at Des 

 Plaines, and says the way Frank A. 

 Benthey has the ground shoots coming 

 up means some splendid long stock just 

 when prices will be tallest. The firm 

 has ordered some new style corrugated 

 boxes made by the Thompson & Norris 

 Co., Brookville, Ind., for .shipping its 

 stock to the city store in. The boxes are 

 waterproofed by a new process. 



George Fisher, who makes his head- 

 quarters with Bassctt & Washburn, is a 

 busy young man these days. He does 

 the local buying for the H. A. Fisher 

 Co., Kalamazoo, and two or three other 

 large users of stock from this market. 



August F. Poehlmann says that the 

 exact number of My Maryland ro.ses 

 being grown by the Poehlmann Bros. Co. 

 is 'J8,000. When asked how he proposes 

 to keep it going through the winter, he 

 said: "We think it will go all right, 

 but if it doesn't it will not affect the 

 value of the rose for cut flower purposes, 

 because we already have taken out enough 

 incney to make it a profitable variety to 

 grow, even if it produces little in win- 

 ter." 



C. M. Dickinson says the supply business 

 is so active that it has been necessary to 

 call in traveling men to help get the or- 

 ders out. 



Ed Hauswirth recently met with an 

 accident which has confined him to his 

 home for several days. Falling while 

 putting up a decoration, he cut his arm 

 so badly with glass that several stitches 

 were necessary.
