Mention The Review wben you wrlte- 



the growers of any particular item of 

 stock, and they do not tell the growers 

 who the buyers were, but Kennicott 

 Bros. Co. pursues a different policy with 

 George Bayer, of Toledo. A large part 

 of his stock each Thanksgiving is or- 

 dered shipped direct to the retailers. 

 Mr. Bayer is famous for his Bonnaffons. 

 This year the shipment on the night 

 of November 22 was the largest on rec- 

 ord. It amounted to more than half a 

 carload. 



The Geo. Wittbold Co. reports that 

 landscape work is heavy this fall. 

 The new auto delivery car used by this 

 firm is giving great satisfaction and is 

 considered a good investment. It is 

 one of the machines of the Chicago 

 Motor Wagon Co. 



At E. H. Hunt's it is said the supply 

 department is busier than ever before 

 at this date. 



Vaughan & Sperry say November is 

 making a new record for them. 



Winterson's Seed Store reports be- 

 ing practically cleaned out on Dutch 

 bulbs; attention will now be given to 

 Christmas goods. 



Harry Van Gelder says he sold over 

 10,000 Bonnaffons a day for three days 

 before Thanksgiving. 



Visitors met in the market Novem- 

 ber 21 were: J. M. Smely, Aurora; 

 Edward Amerpohl, Janesville, Wis.; A. 

 Siegel, St, Louis; S. W. Coggan, Battle 

 Creek, Mich. 



Bowling. 



The bowlers are rolling intermittently 

 this month. November 9 was skipped 

 on account of the flower show and No- 

 vember 23 because of the Thanksgiving 

 business rush. The scores November

The Market. 



Business was excellent last week, and 

 judging from the run the wholesalers 

 had, everybody must have been busy with 

 work of all kinds. There were a number 

 of weddings that used up a great deal of 

 good stock, and transient trade was un- 

 usually good. 



Monday, November 21, the market 

 opened with Thanksgiving prices, with 

 little stock coming in and the demand 

 strong on everything. The market all of 

 last week was pretty well cleaned up 



daily, with a good shipping demand, and 

 it looks as if all the shippers to this 

 market are holding back for the big day, 

 Thursday. 



The crop of Beauties and of other 

 rosea has fallen off considerably of late. 

 The few that come in are of good quality. 

 Chrysanthemum blooms are becoming 

 scarce. Some fancy Eaton, Chadwick, 

 Golden "Wedding and Jones are still com- 

 ing in, but the rest are a thing of the 

 past for this season. The wholesalers 

 are asking fancy prices for the best of 

 them this week. 



Carnations are becoming extra good in
