Mendel's Accomplishment. 



Joseph Mendel, who runs two flower 

 stores on the west side, performed a 

 notable feat in the election November 

 8. At the primaries he was tenth man 

 on the list of ten nominees for county 

 commissioner on the democratic ticket, 

 gaining his place at the foot of the 

 list by only a few hundreds of votes. 

 But in the election itself he pulled 

 away from' all those whose names 

 were above his own on the ticket, re- 

 ceiving more votes than any other of 

 the twenty candidates save Bartzen, 

 the candidate for chairman of the 

 board. Though Mr. Mendel was tenth 

 man in the primaries, he polled 7,400 

 more votes than the man who was 

 tenth in the election, and 3,300 more 

 than his associate on the ticket who 

 ran closest to him. 



Various Notes. 



P. M. Obertin, of Kenosha, Wis., 

 was in town November 15, and when 

 seen at Kyle & Foerster's told of the 

 splendid way in which business is in- 

 . creasing in his town. His latest and 

 largest order is a contract for the 

 landscape work on the city park of 

 about seven acres. 



Tim Matchen says that if the month 

 ends as the latter half of it has be- 

 gun an excellent showing of business 

 will be made.

 Co., has been calling on the retailers

 Thanksgiving in any previous year.

 new office furniture and a desk tele- 

 phone.

 ter this year than those who have 

 grown big, fancy flowers. 



A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co., escorted a large party of 

 flower show visitors to Joliet Novem- 

 ber 11, to inspect Washington, the 

 pink sport of Enchantress, growing 

 there. Mr. Pyfer expects to do a 

 large business in cuttings of this 

 variety. 



John Zech hopes to see next year's 

 flower show schedule framed with 

 rose and carnation classes Specially

 to no one with over 50,000 feet of 

 glass.

 Co., says that business was better last

Vaughan & Sperry state that Will- 

 iam l3ittman, at New Castle, has 

 three houses 28x300 planted to Beau- 

 ties, which are just coming in with 

 the first crop of the season, and that 

 they think he will hit the December 

 market just right. 



Harry Manheim, who handles the

"The Aphine Iirs been severely tested, having 

 passed expectations. Used it upon mea'y bug. 

 scale, fly and spider without injury to the foliage 

 whatsoever. For red spider used it 1 part to 15 

 parts water with tlie best possible results. I 

 consider Aphine is far ahead of any insecticides 

 I have used in England, having had good expe- 

 rience with same there." 



"The above is the report of my greenhouse 

 foreman, and from my own ob^e^vatio^8 the re- 

 sulis are eminently satisfactory in every respect. 

 You have at last put on the market an insecticide 

 that does all claimed for It and more.
