and length of stem the stock is excep- 

 tionally good for this season. Only a 

 few days of cold weather is needed to 

 tone them up. 



Violets have been in heavy supply, 

 along with everything else. Neither 

 the eastern stock nor the locally grown 

 singles are anything to brag about as 

 to quality. As usual, the best stock is 

 commanding a premium. There are 

 fair supplies of Easter lilies, auratums 

 and rubrums. Cattleyas are abundant 

 and other orchids rather overplentiful. 

 Gladioli are practically finished, but 

 there are more dahlias than there is 

 use for. Cosmos is a veritable glut. 



The green goods market remains 

 quiet. 



Employees Will Dance. 



The Wholesale Florists' Employees' 

 Club will give its fifth annual ball at 

 Columbia hall, 1527 North Clark street, 

 Tuesday evening, October 25. Time is 

 brief, but it was impossible to secure 

 the hall for a later date. Fitzgerald's 

 orchestra has been engaged, as in pre- 

 vious years. The club consists of fif- 

 teen members. George Foehlmann is 

 president and John C. Enders secretary 

 and treasurer. In other years the at- 

 tendance has always exceeded 150 

 couples, and the boys say they have 

 every reason to believe it will be at 

 least as large this year. 



Smytli Doubles Store. 



W. J. Smyth considers the business 

 outlook sufficiently good to warrant him 

 in doubling the size of his store at 

 the corner of Michigan avenue and 

 Thirty-first street and thereby more 

 than doubling his facilities for handling 



his trade. The store next door to the 

 corner one having become vacant, Mr. 

 Smyth has secured it, is taking down 

 the partition to throw the two stores 

 into one, and is decorating and fitting 

 up the enlarged space in first-class style. 

 A great deal of work is made neces- 

 sary by the change, but when completed 

 Mr. Smyth will have one of the largest 

 and best equipped stores in tBe city. 

 He has been at the location for many 

 years, and it has been his invariable 

 experience that when he added to his 

 facilities there was a prompt increase 

 in his business. 



Beinberg Man Killed. 



Peter Knapp, barn boss for Peter 

 Reinberg, was killed almost instantly 

 October 14 beneath a car of crushed 

 stone on Mr. Reinberg 's private sid- 

 ing at the greenhouses. It was one of 

 the dumping cars, on which the dump- 

 ing apparatus refused to work. Mr. 

 Knapp went beneath the car to fix it, 

 when it suddenly let down on him, 

 crushing his head. He was 45 years 

 of age and leaves a widow and five 

 children. For years he drove Mr. Rein- 

 berg 's wagon twice daily to the mar- 

 ket and was well known among the 

 wholesalers. 



Various Notes. 



There will be a special meeting of 

 the Florists' Club Thursday evening, 

 October 20, at the Union restaurant, 

 to further flower show arrangements. 

 From all appearances the show this 

 year will be fully as good as ever has 

 been held in the Coliseum and it only 

 remains to secure the attendance. The 

 following applications for membership 





In writing on the care of "mums" In his 

 " Week's Worlt," Mr. Fritz Bahr says:— 



" While on this subject I might mention our 

 experience with the new Insecticide. 'Aphine.' We 

 used this preparation on a hundred-foot Chrysan- 

 /themum house from the time the stock was planted 

 out In May up to the present. A spraying was given 

 once every week, and while two successive applica- 

 tions were required to get rid of a dose of aphis the 

 plants had when planted out, the stock after that 

 was kept entirely free from It, by applying a weekly 

 spraying of a strength according to directions. I 

 don't know what Aphine Is made of, and It really 

 matters little; the Important part, besides Its effect- 

 iveness, to the grower. Is Its cheapness, for to keep 

 this house tree fiom these Insects didn't cost quite 

 $1.60 all summer." 



Thus the effectiveness and cheapness of Aphine 

 Is once more demonstrated by an expert authority.
