hard to find. There is no oversupply 

 of any grade, but, if buyers are willing 

 to pay the price, they have no difficulty 

 in getting long-stemmed roses, and the 

 quality really is 'exceptional. Killarney 

 is the leader, but Ward, Melody and 

 Bulgarie have so improved in quality 

 that they are bringing the best money. 

 Beauties are holding at excellent prices, 

 considl»ring that it is the height of the 

 chrysanthemum season. Short Beauties 

 are extremely scarce. 



Carnations are not in large supply, 

 but there is a limit to the price buyers 

 will pay. Orchids locally grown are 

 abundant and many shipments are ar- 

 riving that would find sale in the east 

 if those markets were not oversupplied. 

 Valley usually is plentiful. "Violets are 

 in moderately good supply and some of 

 them are of exceptionally good quality 

 for this d^te. They have been selling 

 quite Veil for a fortnight. 



All green goods are plentiful but 

 selling quite well, except smilax, which 

 is dragging. 



October Business. 



It is the general report that October 

 made a goq^, i^ecord. The first half of 

 the month was rather dull, but then 

 business picked up remarkably and im- 

 proved steadily for a fortnight. On the 

 whole, the month shows a good increasOii 

 in sales, probably fully as great an 

 crease as the increase in glass has be 

 since last Octobu-. 



9^ VajTous Notes. 



The planl^orthe Chicago Eose Co., 

 Libertyville, 111., three houses, each 500 

 feet long, about 50,000 feet of glass, 

 with fifteen acres of ground, has been 

 sold to Schumann ^k Kohout for $13,- 

 000. The new firm consists of J. G. 

 Schumann, for ten years rose grower 

 for Bassett & Washburn, and Joseph 

 Kohout, who has been carnation grower 

 for that firm for thirteen years. They 

 have taken possession and removed to 

 Libertyville. The range is planted 

 with roses and carnations. 



Mrs. George Hartung, wife of the 

 Kensington florist, was removed to the 

 Pullman hospital last week and oper- 

 ated on for double rupture and ab|^wa 

 on the intestines. Mrs. Hartun^^HS 

 suffered a great deal during the last 

 sw'eral months and has continually 

 bpen under the doctor's care. 



iTKlimmer's Greenhouses is the name 

 of a corporation organized at Forest 

 Park to carry on the business of the 

 late J. F. Klimmer. Incorporation pa- 

 pers were filed at Springfield October 

 26. The capital stock is $5,000. The 

 incorporators are Augusta, Frank and 

 Minnie Klimmer and Lillie Zander. 



Ludwig Schmht,, Niles Center, is 

 sending his first {fut of carnations to 

 Zech & Mann. Hugo Schmitt worked 

 for Matt -Mann hefSte starting in busi- 

 ness as a lettuce grower. His health 

 broke down and he made a trip to Ger- 

 many, bringing back his brother, Lud- 

 wig, and family. Only a few days 

 after reaching Niles Center Hugo died 

 suddenly. Ludwig Utok the green- 

 houses, planted carnations^ and now is 

 getting a first-class cut. 



Wellworth Farms is cutting an espe- 

 cially fine crop of Killarney. 



J. A. Budlong required two shipments 

 from greenhouses to store October 29, 

 instead of the one trip usually made 

 by the wagon on Sundays. 



A. Lange says that his staff of assist- 

 ants Saturday, October 28, numbered
