CHICAGO NOTES. 



This is peony week in Chicago. 

 This popular flower has been in the 

 market now for many weeks, coming 

 as it does in great quantities from the 

 South, but when the Northern stock 

 is in it has not lost any of its popu- 

 larity, but rather otherwise. People 

 are even more ready to welcome the 

 home-grown article. Shipping is now 

 in the opposite direction and the 

 Northern growers find a market in 

 the South. The season seems to have 

 been a successful one, but reports will 

 be more definite in another week. 

 Carson, Pierie, Scott & Co. had their 

 large department store decorated with 

 thousands of peonies last week and 

 the effect was enjoyed by their patrons, 

 many of whom tried to purchase, think- 

 ing so many flowers could only be for 

 sale. 



Serious Accident. 

 Wm. J. Smyth was seriously injured 

 in a peculiar automobile accident Sun-

day, June 20th, at his summer home at 

 Lake Marie, 111., about fifty miles from 

 Chicago. Mr. Smyth was preparing to 

 take Mrs. Smyth for a ride and was 

 standing beside the machine. In clank- 

 ing it he caused the machine to run 

 over himself, causing internal injuries 

 of a veiy serious nature. Mrs. Smyth 

 summoned a physician who hastened 

 the injured man to St. Luke's Hos- 

 pital, where an operation followed in 

 the hopes of saving his life. At this 

 writing his condition is very serious. 

 Mr. Smyth is one of Chicago's best 

 known retail florists on the South Side.
