The rainfall was 1.2 inches, which was 

 less than half the normal. 



Various Notes. 



The growers at Maywood are this sea- 

 son putting their mums on the market in 

 better shape and at cheaper cost for 

 transportation than ever before. Instead 

 if the big wood "coffins" of other 

 .vears they are using corrugated paste- 

 board boxes, 10x24 and five feet long. 

 I'hese boxes are light, cheap and strong — 

 4rong enough to go back and forth as 

 ling as the mum season will last. Enough 

 f these boxes for the entire community 

 vere ordered in one lot, of the Thompson 

 v Norris Co., Brookville, Ind., and 

 'lipped to Henry Wehrman for distribu- 

 ion to the growers. This ordering of 

 applies in combination is getting to be 

 lUite a feature. 



George Walther has been appointed 

 'He of the administrators of the estate of 

 I'ercy Jones and has made an arrange- 

 luent with Mrs. Jones whereby he will 

 personally conduct the wholesale business 

 in the Flower Growers' Market. Mr. 

 Walther was one of the closest personal 

 friends of the late Mr. Jones. He took 

 ^old of the business November 1 and is 

 giving his entire time to it, leaving his 

 sister in charge of his own retail busi- 



ness at 535 West Sixty-third street and 

 the greenhouses on Lowe avenue. 



Joseph Foerster, of Kyle & Foerster, 

 accomplished the almost impossible No- 

 vember 1, when he secured his excuse 

 from jury service. Since the jury-fixing 

 scandals which have agitated the daily 

 newspapers, it has taken an extremely 

 plausible man to talk himself out of a 

 term of service after his name was 

 drawn. 



E. C. Amling has started his third 

 ticket machine, the intention being to 

 have enough billing facilities so that 

 there need be no delay on that score. 



Mrs. Manheim, wife of Harry Man- 

 helm, of the J. A. Budlong staff, is re- 

 covering from a month's critical illness. 



Wictor Bros, began cutting Bonnaffon 

 early last week, and say this marks the 

 height of the chrysanthemum season. 



The directors of the Flower Growers' 

 Market corporation held a meeting Octo- 

 ber 30 and elected John Sinner as man- 

 ager, as forecasted in last week's Ee- 



VIEW. 



The Wholesalers' Employees' Club 

 finds a most satisfactory balance as a re- 

 sult of its dance October 27. 



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

 says the retailers fight shy of the Touset 

 mum, one reason being that unless han- 



dled with great care more or less of the 

 flowers will crack off at the neck. 



Vaughan & Sperry say the boxwood 

 recently received is of much better 

 quality than that available early in the 

 season, and that it is selling well. 



The E. F. Winterson Co., which sup- 

 plied a carload of wild smilax for dec- 

 orating the Coliseum for the flower show, 

 reports that the car came through from 

 Evergreen, Ala., by freight in three and 

 one-half days, which is thought to be 

 record time. 



L. R. Bohannon has invented a clasp 

 for use in attaching a bunch of violets 

 to the customer's corsage. It is an at- 

 tractive article, shaped like a safety-pin, 

 with a loop bent up in the center to go 

 around the stems and with a pin sticking 

 into the stems from the loop, to hold the 

 bunch firmly. The supply houses are 

 handling the clasp. 



Zech & Mann have put up a glass parti- 

 tion along the balcony on which their 

 office is located, to give comfort and 

 privacy. 



Within the last few days the Peter 

 Reinberg establishment has brought in a 

 large crop of Richmond roses. 



Hoerber Bros., appreciating that the 

 market was likely never to be lower, some 

 time ago bought 2,000 boxes of glass
