much larger than it was a year ago, 

 when he was in the smaller store. 



Tim Matchen, sales manager for 

 Peter Eeinberg, says that for every two 

 customers that stop buying in this mar- 

 ket because they build their own glass 

 three new ones develop, so that the 

 number of customers is greater today 

 than ever before, and steadily increas- 

 ing. He is one of the optimists. 



D. E. Freres says that to make a 

 success of pompon or single chrysanthe- 

 mums they must be handled with care; 

 the growers must see to it that stock 

 gets to the customers in fresh and at- 

 tractive condition. Too many handle 

 the bunched mums roughly. 



Ground was broken this week for 

 twelve new houses that are to be 

 erected as quickly as possible at Bas- 

 eett & Washburn's new location at 

 Gregg's Station. The five houses 

 started this spring have been com- 

 pleted. The ones to be erected will 

 be 28x225 feet. 



John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says that although demand does 

 not appear so strong as when stock 

 was less plentiful, still total sales run 

 well ahead of last year at this date.

says that the Thanksgiving crops will 

 be unusually good this year if all the 

 plants are like those he saw last week 

 on a visit to some of the local growers. 



Guy French, chairman of the Florists' 

 Club's entertainment committee, states 

 that President Vincent, of the S. A. F., 

 will be in town December 5 and will 

 give his illustrated lecture on the Lon- 

 don show at the club meeting that 

 night. 



The regular directors' meeting of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 was postponed until November 13, when 

 a special meeting of the stockholders 

 was held. 



August Jurgens has returned from 

 New York, where he went on a sub- 

 poena to appear as a witness in a gov- 

 ernment case against a railroad and 

 some shippers.
