Flower Show at the Illinois State Fair, Springfield, October 2 to 5. 



Weiland has certainly rushed the work 

 of construction. 



The next stop was made at the new 

 establishment of Heller Bros. Co. The 

 location is fine and the construction 

 seems to be of the best and in every 

 way modern. Considerable soft stock 

 is being worked up for their retail cat- 

 alogue trade. Their roses are at the 

 Jennings plant and will be moved to 

 their new place as soon as the benches 

 are completed. This range is certainly 

 a good addition to the already large 

 glass area in the City of Koses. 



P. J. Olinger's place was our next 

 stop. Here everything was in good 

 shape. The new heating plant, just 

 completed, with Stokes' double steam 

 trap system and piig^sttre valves, in- 

 sures JwlN® heating^ Capacity. Their 

 carnations were in excellent condition. 



P. J. Benthey & Co., as usual, have 

 as fine a block of tea roses as can be 

 found anywhere. Killanieys and Eich- 

 monds were in splendid condition. 



The establishment of the South Park 

 Floral Co. was never in better shape. 

 The 80,000 Beauties were coming in 

 finely. Some of the early plantings 

 showed ten to twelve shoots, with the 

 foliage clean and down to the ground, 

 and .the color good. The prospects here 

 are for the largest cut in years. 



William Dittmann's place is located 

 .just across the street from the South 

 Park Floral Co. This old American 

 Beauty grower has his stock in fine con- 

 dition and good cuts are made. 



The business meeting at the club 

 rooms ended the program. Next meet- 

 ing will be held at Eifehmond. A spe- 

 cial invitation was tendered to the 

 Northern Indiana Florists' Association 

 to attend this meeting. 



Mr. Heller, who was in charge of 

 the entertaining, certainly was equal 

 to the occasion. S. H.
