Mention The Review when vou write 



in the sale of large white mums, and 

 these were plentiful. 



What we need from now on is 

 steady cold weather to tone up the re- 

 tail trade. A number of swell weddings 

 and receptions have been booked with 

 the leading west end establishments, 

 and these will call for a lot of first- 

 class stock. 



The market is not overstocked with 

 anything, and prices are still high on 

 roses and carnations. Violets, too, com- 

 mand a high price' in the fancy grades. 

 Chrysanthemum blooms are still coming 

 in, but not nearly so many. All the 

 late varieties will last a week or two 

 yet. There is an abundance of lilies 

 and valley. Paper Whites and Romans 

 are now in, but only a few. The mar- 

 ket should be good in everything in 

 season from now on. 



Vaxious Notes. 



James Conway, son of the florist of 

 that name at Eochester, N. Y., spent 

 a few days here on his way home from 

 the coast. 



Word has just been received that 

 Mrs. Josephine Deake, of Twin Falls, 

 Idaho, died November 19. Those who 

 attended the Asheville S. A. F. conven- 

 tion in 1902 will remember Auntie 

 Deake, of the Idlewild Floral Co., who 

 made things pleasant for all the florists 

 during their stay in Asheville. We ex- 

 tend our sympathy to the bereaved 

 family. 



E. W. Guy and Henry Emunds, of 

 Belleville, were callers last week and 

 reported a good Thanksgiving business. 

 Mr. Emunds says he still has several 

 hundred fine yellow mums, Golden Wed- 

 ding and Chadwick, to cut. 



The St. Louis Seed Co. made a fine 

 display of poultry supplies at the poul- 

 try show held here last week. Their 

 display was one of the big attractions 

 at the show. 



The Oakland Floral Co., of Kirkwood, 

 is consigning to this market a fine lot 

 of cut carnations, which are handled 

 by Kuehn. P. Schneider is the grower 

 for this company. 



Fred H. Weber says he had a rush- 

 ing Thanksgiving business. Large, 

 fancy mum blooms had the call. Plants 

 sold well, too.

CHAS. W. NcKELLAR 



SI Wabash Ave., CHICAGO 



Mention The Review when you write. 



the Metropolitan Floral ^0. must have 

 had a big trade on Thanksgiving, as 

 their large stock of cut flowers was de- 

 pleted long before the day was over, 

 and good prices prevailed. 



The chicken show last week was a 

 great attraction for some of our florists. 



Among these were W. J. Pileher, W. C. 

 Smith, F. A. Weber and C. A. Kuehn. 



It has been reported that A. Mirring,. 

 the florist of East St. Louis, 111., will 

 next spring build a range of houses on 

 his new place, near Edgemont, and move 

 to the new place when it is completed.
