defeating about a dozen candidates for 

 the democratic nomination and feels 

 quite sanguine as to his election. He 

 has two flower stores on the west side 

 and many florists will vote for him 

 regardless of their politics. 



Visitors. 



E. G. Hill, Richmond, Ind., was in 

 town October 29 with specimen blooms 

 of his rose .and chrysanthemum nov- 

 elties. 



E. W. Metz, formerly of this city, 

 who is now decorator for Mrs. J. B. 

 Freeman, at Toledo, has been renew- 

 ing acquaintance. 



William Desmond, manager of the 

 cut flower department of the L. S. Don- 

 aldson Co., Minneapolis, has been pur- 

 chasing stock. 



H. D. Roth, La Fayette, Ind., has 

 spent the week here. He expects to 

 be joined on Saturday by his father, H. 

 Roth, and the two will root for Purdue 

 in the game with the University of 

 Chicago.

of concrete and six feet of glass. One 

 corner has been arranged as a garage. 

 Mr. Oechslin has also recently added a 

 small house, 10x100. across the street, 

 to be used for propagating purposes. Two 

 carloads of azaleas have just been re- 

 ceived and are rapidly being potted up. 

 James Hancock, who is Mr. Oechslin 's 

 right-hand man, said that celosia has 

 been a remarkably good seller this 

 year and that dracaenas are becoming 

 more popular everj- day. The mum pot 

 plants are now in full bloom and Pan- 

 danus Veitchii looks good. The same 

 may be said of the several houses of 

 small ferns. 



The John C. Moninger Co. is pre- 

 paring to use additional space in the 

 old American Malting Co. building, 

 two floors of which they have occupied 

 since last winter. The additional space 

 will be devoted principally to the rap- 

 idly growing heating department. The 

 improvements include a large freight 

 elevator and a traveling crane for load- 

 ing and unloading cars on the siding. 

 It is said that by the new method it 

 will be possible to unload a car of 

 piping in an hour and a half, includ- 

 ing the placing of the pipe in whatever 

 space is allotted to it. This company 

 says that the demand for boilers to 

 be shipped on short notice has been 

 unusually heavy, and they are more 



than pleased with the volume of busi- 

 ness done. 



Otto Goerisch has suffered with a 

 large boil on his left wrist. 



E. H. Hunt last wgek received nearh' 

 a carload of baskets from Japan. They 

 call it Matsuma ware, but C. M. Dick- 

 inson says I^azuma would be more 

 appropriate, because it's a fine seller. 



H. N. Bruns says "things are boil- 

 ing out here." All of which goes to 

 show that business keeps hinv on the 

 jump. He reports that the importa- 

 tion of valley pips has begun, with 

 several cases on the way and more to 

 follow. Just how plentiful the supply 

 will be is still unknown. 



The Raedlein Basket Co. reports that 

 five cases of imported florists' baskets 

 have just been received at their store 

 at 717 Milwaukee avenue. Eight more 

 cases are on the way and others are 

 expected before the holidays. 



Henry Van Gelder has been under 

 the doctor's care for a week, but has 

 stuck to business. 



Bassett & Washburn report cutting 

 the first Yellow Eaton October 31 and 

 the first Eaton November 1, several 

 days earlier than ever before. 



Joseph Mendel is putting in a busy 

 week on his campaign for the office of 

 county commissioner. The election is 

 November 8. Mr. Mendel succeeded in
