DHE coiiibination of quality and low price is unusual, and therefore 

 attracts attention anywhere. Before placing your Christmas 

 order for Baskets, try our special $25.00 assortment of new and original 

 Ivory-tone finish Baskets; they are mostly all fitted with tin liners, to 

 be used for plants and others for cut flowers. Our Ivory-tone finish 

 Baskets have that refined look about them which the ordinary baskets 

 do not have, and cost no more. Our guarantee goes with this offer, 

 which is : If not satisfactory, return them at our expense.

C, W. McKellar reports the arrival of 

 the first cypripediums last week. 



P. C. Hoerber is one of those who be- 

 lieve that the daily newspaper adver- 

 tising the retailers are doing will broad- 

 en the flower business greatly, causing 

 many new people to become flower 

 buyers. 



H. Van Gelder says out-of-town buy- 

 ers are already placing orders for 

 Christmas. 



Bassett & Washburn say their mums 

 are about two weejjs earlier this year 

 than usual. They will be all cut with- 

 in another week, which will leave them 

 without this item for Thanksgiving for 

 the first time on record. However, Mr. 

 Washburn, says mums have done well 

 this season and will not be misled, as 

 Beauties and roses are just coming into 

 crop. 



The Geo. M. Garland Co., of Des 

 Plaines, believes a record for speed "w**" 

 made last week when it constructed aprf 

 shipped the material in three and one- 

 half days for three houses, each 34x300, 

 and a lean-to, all of truss, iron-frame 

 construction, for Chas. Frueh & Sons, 

 Saginaw, Mich. 



T. B. Gray, of the Geo. M. Garland 

 Co., and Miss Ida Poyer, both of Des 

 Plaines, surprised their friends by get- 

 ting married November 1, fully a month 

 earlier than was expected by anyone 

 excepting their most intimate friends 

 and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Gray will 

 reside in Des Plaines. 



The A. Dietseh Co. reports business 

 this year running away ahead of the 

 previous records. 



H. N. Bruns says the quality of the 

 valley pips he has just received is so 

 good that he paid a slight premium for 

 them. H^i is hoping that the shipments 

 still to come will equal the first ar- 

 rivals. 



Sol Garland, of Des Plaines, says the 

 work he has done on the range of the 

 Des Plaines Violet Co. rather delayed 

 planting in his own houses. Neverthe- 

 less, stock appeared to be in good shape 

 and he is now getting a fairly heavy 

 cut of both mums and carnations. He 

 has added one new house, £7x200, and
