100 LIVE GOLDFISH FREE 



We are giving away, FBEB! of all charge, to one merchant in each town, 100 live, healthy Goldfish. The merchant can give one Fish to 

 each customer as a premium and thereby increase his regular sales. The majority of people who never handled Goldfish have the mistaken idea 

 that Goldfish die very rapidly and are a great care. Handle fish as we instruct and you will not lose two out of a hundred and they will be but 

 little care. There is nothing that you can put in your window that will attract more attention than Goldfish. 



We Make the Following Special Offer: SPECIAL $25.06 COMBINATION

crops of mums. The big fancy mums 

 have paid, he thinks, but not the lower 

 grades. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co., with 

 greenhouses and retail store at Batavia 

 and wholesale store in the Flower 

 Growers' Market, has just increased its 

 capital stock from $8,000 to $12,000. 



Although W. J. Smyth's store, being 

 enlarged, is all torn up, he had one of 

 the biggest days of the season October 

 31, with a large wedding and two 

 funerals. 



Peter Eeinberg is contemplating the 

 purchase of a motor truck to bring the 

 stock in from the greenhouses, replac- 

 ing the two teams now used. 



John Kruchten reports that one of 

 his growers has recently taken up the 

 forcing of valley, intending to make it 

 a specialty. Valley growing has been 

 in the hands of an exceedingly small 

 number in the last year or two. 



Miss Josephine Then had a leading 

 part in the farce, "What Became of 

 Pauline?" recently presented by the 



Young Men's Sodality of St. Clement's 

 church. 



October 29 Hoerber Bros, began cut- 

 ting Bonnaffon, their first crop from a 

 part of the new greenhouses. 



N. C. Moore & Co., of Morton Grove, 

 have been hauling water in a tank 

 wagon for nearly a week, the wells hav- 

 ing failed. 



H. C. WiflBn, of Des Plaines, is suf- 

 fering with rheumatism. He has given 

 up the winter-flowering sweet peas, 

 which he grew extensively last year, 

 and says they dropped the buds too 

 easily to be a dependable crop. 



Paul Blome has been on the sick list 

 for a week or more. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. reports that the 

 first shipment of Bonnaffon from 

 George Bayer, of Toledo, arrived Octo- 

 ber 31, several days earlier than usual. 



Wietor Bros, say they did quite 

 their usual business with New Orleans 

 for All Saint's day. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that boxwood 

 has become a peculiarly difficult propo- 



sition, but that recent shipments have 

 been of much better quality than much 

 of the stock seen in the market last 

 year. 



The George Wittbold Co. will fur- 

 nish and put up 150 cases of wild 

 smilax at the flower show. 



The biggest flower show sign is on the 

 east side of the Atlas block. It 

 spreads over space of Winterson's seed 

 store, Zech & Mann, Hoerber Bros, and 

 George Eeinberg. 



W. N. Eudd is away on a trip of 

 inspection of some of the western ex- 

 periment stations. 



October 31 Poehlmann Bros. Co. 

 bought the glass for the addition de- 

 cided upon some weeks ago. The plan 

 has been enlarged to provide for thir- 

 teen houses, each 500 feet long. 



John P. Eisch is ill at his home in 

 Evanston. 



Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Eandall 

 Co., has been spending several days in 

 Milwaukee.
