The Weekly Florists' Review. 



October 27, 1910. 



turned to the store of his brother, John 

 Kruchten, to help market the big mum 

 crop. 



C. W. McKellar, Mrs. McKellar and 

 friends motored to Champaign to spend 

 Sunday. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co. is cut- 

 ting Beauties from its new place, also 

 mums and a few carnations. Quite a 

 little of the cut is retailed at Batavia; 

 the rest is sold by 0. Johnson at the 

 Flower Growers ' Market. 



George Eeinberg is spending ten days 

 with relatives in South Dakota. 



Winterson 's Seed Store has this week 

 received a carload of boxwoods from 

 Holland. John Degnan says he does 

 not recall a season when the imported 

 stock has arrived in such uniformly 

 fine shape. 



N. J. Wietor is the one man in the 

 market who remained cheerful through 

 last week's events at Philadelphia and 

 on the west side. He is a "White Sox 

 fan, and picked the Athletics to win 

 from the start. 



Dom Freres, who has a stand in the 

 Flower Growers' Market, says the 

 world never used him better than since 

 he became a wholesaler. 



The Geo. Wittbold Co. is "sending 

 its message out into the night" by 

 means of a large new electric sign that 

 flashes alternately red and white, and 

 can be seen for several blocks in either 

 direction. 



When Miss Martha C. Gunterberg 

 was ' ' down east ' ' a few wrecks ago she 

 connected with a Beauty grower who 

 has since been making regular ship- 

 ments, and also with an eastern orchid 

 grower, 



C. G. Gilbert & Co., Oregon, 111., are 

 shipping mums to this market, but the 

 informant does not state to whom. 



The E. C. Amling Co. has recently 

 added a nearby orchid grower to its list 

 of consignors. Cattleyas may some day 

 be as plentiful as mums were last week. 



The West End Floral Co., 4035 West 

 Madison streety had its decorated deliv- 

 ery outfit in the West Madison street 

 merchants' parade October 19. 



Phil Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, says 

 Touset and its sport are the popular 

 mums; the best stock has sold while the 

 lower grades hung. He says President 

 Taft has been a disappointment to 

 them. 



T. J. McNally, florist and state repre- 

 sentative, is said to be missing. His 

 store at 447 Wabash avenue has been 

 closed more than a fortnight. 



Tim Matchen says that Peter Rein- 

 berg has had a fine run of orders for 

 Richmond this week and has been for- 

 tunate to have that variety in heavier 

 crop than any other. 



At Vaughan & Sperry's a quick turn 

 of the market is predicted with a turn 

 in the weather, and no turn at all until 

 the weather turns. 



Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., says he has not yet been able to 

 make the trip through Tennessee he has 

 been promising all season. 



Among recent visitors have been: 

 Albert Pochelon, of the Bemb Floral 

 Co., and Robert Rahaley, of the Mich- 

 igan Cut Flower Exchange, Detroit; H. 

 M. Burt, formerly of Burt & Coggan, 

 Battle Creek, who is opening a flower 

 store at Jackson, Mich.; Gust Fred- 

 erickson, St. Joseph, Mich.
