Mention The Review when you write 



houses means a sharp reduction in the 

 demand. 



Better dahlias never were seen, but 

 they are so hard to handle without in- 

 jury that they sell poorly. A tevf gladi- 

 oli still come in. 



The green goods market continues 

 steady, with adequate supplies in all 

 lines. 



September Business. 



The money value of sales in this mar- 

 ket in September unquestionably made 

 a gain over the same month last year, 

 but it is open to question if the gain 

 was as great as the increase in the pro- 

 duction of cut flowers; the general re- 

 port is that more stock was handled 

 than last year but that the prices were 

 not so good. A number of houses that 

 reported increases in sales added the 

 comment that the increase was nowhere 

 near so great as the increase August 

 showed over the corresponding month 

 of last year. 



September, 1910, brought to the mar- 

 ket many more chrysanthemums than 

 in any previous September, also a con- 

 siderable increase in supplies of roses, 

 and of carnations. 



Kennicott's New Box. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is immensely 

 pleased with its newest ice-box. It is 

 8iAxl6Vl> and eight feet high, built on 

 what is known as a double insulation 

 principle; that is, it is virtually two 

 boxes, one within the other, with an air 

 space between. With 300 pounds of ice 

 at this season, 54 degrees is maintained 

 in the daytime, when the door is being 

 opened every few minutes, and at night 

 the temperature goes down to 50 de- 

 grees. Double shelving all around gives 

 the box large capacity. As it is in- 

 tended for carnations in winter, it has 

 a connection with the outdoors, which 

 will do away with the use of ice in 

 freezing weather. A novel feature is a 

 boxwood cooler at the rear of the box, 

 outside. This is a zinc-lined tank forty 

 inches square and six feet long, which is 



kept full of water from the drip pipe. 

 This will be used for freshening up box- 

 wood after it comes from cold storage 

 and is expected to be the means of 

 maintaining a boxwood' supply all the 

 year around. 



The box was built by Paul J. Daem- 

 icke Co., 261 South Water street. 



September Weather. 



The weather during the month of 

 September, 1910, presented few unusual 

 features. The temperature was only 

 two-fifths of a degree higher than the 

 normal and both the warmest and the 

 coldest days of the month were well 

 within the range shown in former years. 

 Most of the rainfall was in the first half 

 of the month, but the total was some- 

 what in excess of the average. No 

 frosts occurred in this immediate vicin- 

 ity, it being the first September, except 

 that of 1905, since in 1884 that has been 

 marked by total absence of frost. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club will hold its 

 monthly meeting at the Union restau- 

 rant tonignt. October 6. The executive 

 committee of the Horticultural Society 

 has been invited to be present and there 

 will be a general discussion of flower 

 show matters. Twelve applicants for 

 membership are to be voted on. These 

 include W. P. Kyle, 5435 Lake avenue, 

 and Joseph P'oerster, 2242 North Hal- 

 sted street, who comprise the firm of 

 Kyle & Foerster. Six Joliet florists also 

 are proposed, A. C. Rott, William Kells- 

 ner, Emil Middendorf, A. Christiansen, 

 H. Nicholson and H. Dumke. Other ap- 

 plications are Fred Smith, 2509 Touhy 

 avenue; Joseph Dimoeck, 3356 Potomac 

 avenue; J. Byers, 48 Wabash avenue 

 and J. W. Fink, 2642 Hemdon street. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. has opened 

 its new wholesale store in the Atlas 

 block. A. T. Pyfer is in charge, the 

 business headquarters of the company 

 being now in Chicago. Mr. Pyfer goes 

 back and forth from Joliet daily. All

Tim Matchen, who has charge of 

 Peter Reinberg's store, stole a march 

 on his friends October 1, when he and 

 Miss Ida Bolgren were married without 

 letting anyone know a thing about it. 

 They spent Sunday at the home of the 

 bride's parents at Portage, Wis., but 

 returned Monday morning and now are 

 receiving congratulations at 4934 North 

 Hoyne avenue.
