In appreciation of the great assistance that 

 "Chiffon Americana" has given him on his 

 road to Bucness, Mr. Milton Alexander, who 

 represents Lion & Company in the middle 

 west, requests in future that bis friends 

 recognize him by the cognomen 



"Mltton Americana"

and the supply does not equal the de- 

 mand. The average quality of the roses 

 is excellent, some of the extra long ex- 

 hibition grade being so good it is hard 

 to sell at the figures it should bring. 



Carnations have not come in heavily 

 and have cleaned up in good shape at 

 moderate prices. Violets have been in 

 only fair supply, mostly of good qual- 

 ity, but have not maintained their 

 prices. It is said the arrivals Novem- 

 ber 4 were about forty-five boxes of 

 eastern stock, about 100,000 violets, 

 surely not a great quantity for a pleas- 

 ant Saturday, but the bulk of the sales 

 were $4 to $6 per thousand; they usu- 

 ally are good for $7.50 at this date. 



Orchids from the overstocked east 

 still hold down the price of fine local 

 cattleyas. Valley is abundant some days 

 and scarce the next. Bpuvardia, gar- 

 denias, etc., being in small supply, sell 

 well. 



Greens of all kinds are plentiful and 

 are selling steadily, all except smilax, 

 which has been an erratic performer 

 for a Ion** time. 



October Weather. 



The temperature last month was 

 about normal, although the first frost 

 occurred October 24, about nineteen 

 days later than usual. The rainfall was 

 well distributed and exceeded the nor- 

 mal by 1.24 inches. The chief charac- 

 teristic of the month was the unusual 

 amount of cloudiness, there being only 

 forty-seven per ctent of possible sun- 

 shine as compared with the normal, 

 sixty-four per cent. 



Club Meeting. 



An account of the novelty show of 

 the Plorigts' Club appears on another 

 page of this issue. 



Following the staging of the show 

 November 2, the club held a session 

 mostly given to expression of opinion, 

 for little business was done. There, were 

 fifty-five present when the meeting 

 opened. E. 0. Orpet, of Lake Forest, 

 was elected to membership, as were 

 Richard Schmidt, 4911 Quincy street, 

 and John Huebner, 11 West Randolph 

 street. B, Zima resigned, being out of 

 the trade. The following were pro- 

 posed for membership: W. F. Kasting, 

 Buffalo; Charles J. Bond, Naperville, 

 111.; Louis Lickenger, Andrew Benson, 

 Edward Toeple, Guy French, Tony Ga- 

 ble, Richard Salm, all of Morton Grove; 

 J. B. Foley, Isaac Cassidy, E. H. Gale, 

 Charles Erne and A. Vanderpohl. A 

 list of delinquents contained the names 

 of fifty-seven. The trustees were in- 

 structed to make one more effort to 

 avoid the necessity of dropping the 

 * ' pickles. ' ' 



Visitors were more than usually nu- 

 merous and included E. G. Hill, Rich- 

 mond; W. R. Pierson, Cromwell; H. E. 

 Kidder, mayor of Ionia, Mich.; H. 

 Roth, Lafayette; Robert Groves, Ad- 

 ams, Mass.; E. O. Orpet, Lake Forest; 



C. J. Bond, Naperville; Sam Seligman', 

 New York; S. B. Lundy, San Franciscoj 

 and others. Mr. Hill made one of his 

 characteristic speeches, Mr. Pierson 

 told some splendid stories and Mr. Roth 

 and Mr. Groves each talked interest- 

 ingly. 



Various Notes.
