president of the S. A. F., will deliver 

 his illustrated lecture on the biggest 

 London flower show. The ladies are 

 especially invited to attend the lecture. 



N. J. AV'ietor says the wholesalers' 

 new credit association already has dem- 

 onstrated that it is a good thing for 

 all branches of the trade. He counts 

 the man who has cleaned up his debts as 

 scarcely less fortunate than the one who 

 has cleaned up his books. 



Many in the trade visited the flower 

 store in the Fine Arts building Decem- 

 ber 2 to shake hands with Victer Berg- 

 man on the first day of his start in 

 business for himself. The firm now is 

 Ganger & Bergman. The store is in the 

 midst of the best class of retail stores 

 in Chicago and plans are afoot for many 

 improvements in the establishment. 



Harry Lubliner avers that in all his 

 experience in the flower business, he 



never saw it so hard to buy stock in 

 Thanksgiving week as it was this year. 

 Joe Trinz is in New York. 



Tim Machen says that this was the 

 best Thanksgiving within his connec- 

 tion with the Peter Reinberg store. 



Winterson's Seed Store is preparing 

 for a big business in the baby Christmas 

 trees. It is stated that last year they 

 shipped them literally from coast to 

 coast. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says that Saturday, November 30, sales 

 were within $5 of the sales of the day 

 before Thanksgiving and stock much 

 less plentiful. He adds that the Kenni- 

 cott records show that only once in ten 

 years have the three days following 

 Thanksgiving failed to give better 

 average prices than the three days be- 

 fore Thanksgiving. 



C. W. McKellar says that Cattleya 

 Triana> is beginning to come in and that 

 he anticipates the orchid scarcity will 

 be of^short duration. 



.Joseph ^lendel has retired as county 

 commissioner. The job pays .1i.S,500 per 

 year, but after two years of it Mr. 

 Mendel did not care for a reelection. 

 His friends gave him a complimentary 

 dinner December 2. 



A. T. Pvfer says that Peter Olsem 



had his first batch of carnation cuttings 

 this season ready for delivery Decem- 

 ber 2. 



Charles Grabig, whose name does not 

 often get into the paper, has store and 

 greenhouses at 1843 Irving Park boule- 

 vard, where he is doing a nice, steady 

 business as for many years, largely 

 funeral work. He is one of the conserv- 

 ative members of the trade, his busi- 

 ness progressing steadily and unevent 

 fully. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co. is one 

 of those reporting the biggest Thanks- 

 giving ever. 



G. A. Weberg, at Chicago Heights, 

 says business is excellent in his suburb. 

 He needs more help. 



Adam Zender is cutting one of the 

 finest rose crops in his experience. He 

 ships a part to Holton & Hunkel Co., 

 Milwaukee, and a part to D. E. Freres. 



.1. H. McNeilly secured the services of 

 Richard Rolston in time for the Thanks- 

 giving business. Mr. Rolston formerly 

 was with KidwjpU, at the Forty-third 

 street store. The flower store, which is 

 run in connection with a candy shop, 

 is open from 8. a. m. to 11 p. m., or 

 later, Mr. McNeilly handling it after 

 the florist goes home.
