Miss Martha Gunterberg has been vis- 

 iting her violet growers at Khinebeck, 

 and also spending a few days at New 

 York and Washington. Other Chicago 

 commission ilealers who have looked over 

 the violet situation this summer were 

 Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co.; Mike Fink, of Kennicott Bros. Co.; 

 John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co., 

 and C. W. McKellar. 



Phil Scnupp says that Maryland is a 

 much better seller than Killarney; the 



latter requires pushing, though good, 

 while the former does not. 



H. N. Bruus has run so short on val- 

 ley this year that he expects to make a 

 considerable increase in his importation 

 of pips this fall. 



The city of Chicago has over $400,000 

 for a tuberculosis hospital. The most 

 available site appears to be an 80-acre 

 tract that is a part of the L. A. Budlong 

 Co. onion-set patch, that adjoins Peter- 

 son Nursery and is in the vicinity of 

 half a dozen greenhouse establishments. 

 Tne proximity of any hospital depresses 

 real estate values and the neighbors are 

 objecting to this one with special vigor. 

 Peter Reinberg is a member of the al- 

 dermanic committee that has to decide. 



It is reported that Joseph Klimmer, 

 who has been ill for some time, is stead- 

 ily weakening, and little hope is now 

 entertained for his recovery. 



Clifford Pruner, of E. II. Hunt's sup- 

 ply department, was at Grand Rapids 

 last week with an exhibition at the veg- 

 etable growers' convention. He says 

 he never has attended a meeting where 

 there was such keen interest in the busi- 

 ness sessions. ('. W. Johnson, of tliis 

 house, has returned from a trip to the 

 Pacific coast. 



Carl N. Thomas has returned from 

 West Springfield, Pa., where he spent 

 the summer on his farm, and is again on 

 the selling floor of the A. L. Randall 

 Co. W. W. Randall also returned Octo 

 ber 3 from a three weeks' vacation. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 says that he does not recall a season 

 when there has been a better sale for 

 chrysanthemums. 



The work of remodeling the Flower 

 Growers' Market has progressed suffi- 

 ciently to permit the rearrangement of 

 tlie Percy Jones space, giving additional 

 facilities. 



Robert Northam, of George Rein- 

 berg's, says he sold at least 15.000 Rich- 

 mond October .3 and had plenty left at 

 the close of business. 



The George Wittbold Co. has a large 

 decoration October 3 for the fall open- 

 ing of C. A. Stevens & Bro. 



E. C. Amling says it is a wholly mis- 

 taken idea that carnations are high in 

 price. He thinks it not an overstate- 

 ment to say tliat there are twice as 

 many carnations coming into the market 

 as at this date last year, and that prices 

 are not now so good as they were a 

 year ago. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. sent a large ex- 

 hibit of roses to the state fair flower 

 show this week. A nundier of wholesale 

 houses shipped considerable quantities 

 of stock to Springfield October 3 for the 

 same purpose. Albert T. Hey Floral 

 Co., Maywood, is making a large dis- 

 play, Mrs. Hey being in charge. 



Bassett & Washburn say September 

 of 1909 was much better than any pre- 

 vious September in their history, but 

 tliat this year the month 's sales beat last 

 year by over $1,000, with no increase 

 in glass. 



Miss Hertha V. Tonner, who is treas- 

 urer of the Flower Growers' Co. and 

 who has a prosperous commission busi- 

 ness in the market, reports the arrival 

 of single violets in the last week of 

 September. 



Miss Keegan is again at Zech &
