Wheat Sheaves 



If you could be in our factory and see plain, loose 



wheat take shape — watch its transformation into our 



Famous Sheaves" — it would be of absorbing interest 



to you to see Our Patented Wheat Sheaf-making 



device, by the use of which we are able to make our 

 unsurpassed sheaves more rapidly, thus lowering 

 the cost of production, giving you the benefit thereof in 

 our quality and low prices. 



We hold the recognized distinction of being the largest 

 manufacturers of Wheat Sheaves in the United States. 

 Quality, Woricmanship, Appearance and 



Price is a combination hard to equal and impossible to 

 beat.

since 1900, and with three exceptions, 

 the warmest since the official records 

 began in 1871. The temperature during 

 the first twenty-six days was almost 

 continuously above the normal. The 

 only cold days were October 28 and 29, 

 on the latter of which the first killing 

 frost of the autumn occurred, two weeks 

 later than is usual. The precipitation 

 Tvas below the normal, and about sixty- 



two per cent of the total amount fell 

 during the daytime. The wind move- 

 ment was slightly deficient, and the 

 amount of sunshine somewhat greater 

 than usual for October. 



Various Notes. 



E. C. Amling calls attention to the 

 fact that chrysanthemum growers early 

 this week caught up with their crops. 



and that the stock since sent in shows 

 that the mums are no longer pressing 

 for a market. 



E. B. Washburn and one of his 

 friends in the real estate business are 

 at work upon a project for a florists' 

 building at the corner of Randolph and 

 Market streets. It is thought that a 

 saving in money with increased facili 

 ties can be shown to wholesalers, and 

 space in the building can be provided 

 for the entire market interests. 



H. A. Philpott arrived from Winni 

 peg October 31 to remain until after 

 the close of the flower show. Mr. Phil- 

 pott is vice-president of the Florists' 

 Club and chairman of the flower booth 

 committee. Some of his friends sug- 

 gest that, although he is a suburban 

 member, his record of attendance, hav- 

 ing missed only two meetings within 

 the year, entitles him to a promotion at 

 the next election. .\s a matter of fact, 

 not many members can say that they 

 have attended ten of the last twelve 

 regular meetings. 



C. W. McKellar says there will now 

 be a shortage of cattleyas until the 

 next crop comes. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co. has distributed 

 its annual booklet, "Engagements," 

 which is without doubt the highest class 

 of any advertising matter issued by 

 American retail florists. The illustra- 

 tions are splendid examples of the art 

 of printing in colors. 



At Kyle & Foerster's, F. F. Benthey 

 says the crop at their New^ Castle place 

 will be just right for Thanksgiving. 



Phil Schupp says he does not see how 

 the vegetable growers can have made 

 any money this year on their catch
