One-hundred-and-fourth place. The show 

 will be held in the Art Institute. 



John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says the average quality of the 

 flowers in this market never was so 

 good as now. . v .*. 



N. J. Wietor says that Wietor Bros, 

 have not had the general experience 

 with mums — their crops were not early; 

 the earlies were late, but the midseason 

 sorts are ready almost exactly at the 

 usual date. 



One of the week's visitors is A. 

 Marks, the latest addition to the travel- 

 ing staflF of Wertheimer Bros., which 

 now numbers ten men. Mr. Marks for- 

 merly was superintendent of one of the 

 largest ribbon mills in the United 

 States. ■'J 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co. has built 

 a private sewer for several blocks to 

 connect its plant at Batavia with the 

 public system. Now they have what 

 the real estate agents describe as "all 

 modern improvements. ' ' 



The Buckingham place greenhouses 

 of the George Wittbold Co. have been 

 equipped with an automatic system of 

 heat control by the Powers Regulator 

 Co. When the temperature in any 

 house reaches the point at which the 

 apparatus is set the valve on the flow 

 is closed. Only to reopen when the sun 

 heat goes down below the degree de- 



sired. Louis Wittbold is much pleased 

 with the system, believing it not only 

 a fuel saver but a great help to tltt 

 growers. , "' 



November 2 is " Novelty i^ght ' ' with 

 tife Florists' Club. ^^ 



Xhe Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation worked till 8 p. m. Sunday on 

 All Saints' day shipments. Fifty-eight 

 big "coffin" boxes of mums were sent 

 to New Orleans on one train. 



Theresa, the flower peddler, died in 

 a hospital October 30. 



Albert Smedberg, formerly a grower 

 at the Edgebrook greenhouses of the 

 Geo. Wittbold Cp„ is reported as en 

 route to Australia; where he expects to 

 locate permanently. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co. says that Sep- 

 tember business this year was away 

 ahead of the same month for any pre- 

 vious year. Fred Lautenschlager says 

 that most of the orders now coming in 

 are of the telegraph vapety and require 

 quick shipment. 



Evidently Phil Foley finds out-of- 

 town business profitable. He was on 

 the road again last Monday. 



A Spokane florist reports the receipt 

 of a large shipment of goldfish from 

 the Auburndale Goldfish Co. and says 

 "they came through in perfect shape — 

 not one dead." 



Otto Wittbold said that business 

 picked up nicely last week at Edge- 



brook and he looks for a steady in- 

 crease till the holidays. He expects a 

 large shipment of azaleas this i^eek.
