 supply is still large and some fairly good stock can be 

 had. Carnations are coming in, though as yet in 

 limited quantities, stem short.

 white and yellow.

own greenhouses and will soon be fully 

 installed in business on North Francisco 

 street between Belmont and Lee ave- 

 nues. Mr. "Weissgerber makes a spe- 

 cialty of ferns and has several houses 

 of these that are making fine growth. 

 He has also experimented with a few 

 orchid plants and says he has obtained 

 some good blooms. 



John Lang, whose specialty is ferns 

 and bedding plants for the wholesale 

 market, is busy taking geranium cut- 

 tings. He also has about 20,000 pansy 

 plants started for spring sales. Two 

 houses of White Enchantress and En- 

 chantress are beginning to show some 

 nice blooms. Mr. Lang's greenhouses 

 cover about an acre of ground at the 

 northeast corner of Melrose avenue and 

 North Eobey street and every foot of 

 space is utilized to the best advantage. 

 There are three or four houses of Bos- 

 ton ferns that show expert care and 

 attention. 



C. Frauenfelder & Co., 3343 West 

 Madison street, say that business is 

 quite satisfactory and they would like 

 to spread out, but they say they cannot 

 spread sideways or endways, which 

 leaves only up and down, and they fear 

 that one greenhouse on top of another, 

 although novel, would scarcely produce 

 results. 



The flower show at Lake Forest was 

 featured in the daily papers, but, of 

 course, the millionaires' wives got all 

 the credit for the quality of the blooms. 

 A number of them employ gardeners of 

 exceptional skill.

E. H. Hunt has this week sent to a 

 large number of buyers a duplicating 

 order book, enabling the customer to 

 retain a carbon copy of each order. 

 Miss Harper, of this house, has just re- 

 turned from her vacation. 



There is a report in the market that 

 the parties operating the saloon and 

 restaurant on the first floor of the build- 

 ing at 58 and 60 Wabash avenue expect 

 to secure the second floor when the 

 lease of the Flower Growers' Market 

 expires next May. 



E. C. Amling received the first violets 

 of the season September 19, and John 

 Michelsen says the quality was excel- 

 lent compared to the first shipment of 

 other years. 



Sinner Bros, completed replanting 

 their place September 20. They have 

 cut down on other roses to give space to 

 Maryland, Jardine, Killarney and White 

 Killarney and are already cutting these 

 varieties in considerable quantity. 



The A. L. Bandall Co. has moved its 

 office from the second floor to the third 

 floor, thereby adding materially to its 

 selling space in the cut flower depart- 

 ment.
