CHICAGO NOTES. 



Mothers' Day is to be brought into 

 new prominence this year in Chicago. 

 A street sale of flowers for a hospital 

 benefit has been arranged for. 



David J. Haskins, John W. Harris 

 and Frank Amberg have incorporated 

 under the name of the Haskins Floral 

 Co., capitalized at $25,000, and pur- 

 chased the Reid & Chambers place at 

 Elmhurst, 111. 



The large group of handsome lily 

 plants at the exhibition last week 

 from the Metairie Ridge Nurseries, 

 New Orleans, was a distinct novelty, 

 inasmuch as they were grown from 

 bulbs produced in our own country. 



A new retail store, under the name 

 of the Lake Shore Greenhouses, was 

 opened about April 1st, by F. A. Park- 

 mire, at 1429 Morse avenue. The 

 north shore has been very popular 

 lately with those seeking a location 

 for flower stores. 



J. A. Budlong's blue ribbon lily of the 

 valley was something that constantly 

 drew a crowd. The great length of 

 stem and size and number of the bells 

 easily won it first prize, though there 

 were other splendid exhibits to com- 

 pete with it. 



Mrs. Anna Kochman has the sym- 

 pathy of the trade in the death of her 

 brother, Bruno W. Kreitling. Since 

 the death of Walter Kreitling. another 

 brother, Mrs. Kochman has been in 

 charge of the store at 77 E. Van 

 Buren street, which is still operated 

 under his name. 



The management of the Spring 

 Flower Show decided to add another 

 day to the five as scheduled and Sun- 

 day found the Art Institute still hous- 

 ing a very creditable exhibit. In 

 everything except receipts the show 

 was a great success, and the fact that 

 four out of the six days were free to 

 the public, owing to the established 

 rule of the Art Institute, the small re- 

 ceipts reflect no discredit upon the 

 public. The two days upon which ad- 

 mission was charged were both rainy 

 ones, further cutting down the re- 

 turns. The attendance of the week 

 footed up about 50,000. 



A flower sale for United Charities 

 and flood sufferers was held at the 

 store of J. L. Raske, 170 W. .Tackson 

 Blvd., April 3, netting about $1000. 

 Among those who contributed the 

 flowers were Wietor Bros., Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association, Peter and George Rein- 

 berg, Zech & Mann and Chicago Car- 

 nation Co, Frank Oechslin and Henry 

 Wittbold gave plants. Unsold flowers 

 were sent to the various hospitals. 

 Eight delivery cars were also fur- 

 nished free. 



Another «mall park has been added 

 to Chicago's long list. The new one 



consists of 40 acres and is located at 

 Berteau avenue and 60th avenue, on 

 the northwest side. 



Personal. 



A. Lange left on Sunday tor a visit 

 with relatives in Omaha. 



A. L. Vaughan has been ill for two 

 weeks and this week is not able to be 

 at his store. 



Visitors: E. G. Hill, Richmond, Ind.; 

 M. E. -Wyatt, Watseka. 111.; Robert 

 Lathrop, Oscar Carlson and Emanuel 

 Doetsch, Minneapolis, Minn.; Mr. and 

 Mrs. Z. Muhlen, Fort Wayne, Ind. 



DURING RECESS.

 every record this week scoring 943 in 

 high team game and SG5 high team 

 average three games. J. Zech scored 

 241 for individual single game and 

 Frank Ayers 207 for high individual 

 average three games. 



The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Roches- 

 ter Florists' Association held its 

 monthly meeting at the Pinnacle Club 

 April 1, with Mrs, A. Rapalfe as host- 

 ess. It was voted to contribute $10 

 to the fund for the flood sufferers in 

 Ohio. The meeting was followed by 

 bowling, at which Mrs, W. Keller and 

 Mrs. John Dunbar won prizes. Mrs. 

 George Hart, Mrs. E. Pry and Mrs. P. 

 Vick will entertain the club at the Elm 

 Bowling Hall on April 29th.

Stuart Low and daughter sailed on 

 Tuesday morning for England. A 

 party of congenial friends desiring to 

 give him a "bon voyage" send-off 

 captured Mr. Low on Monday evening 

 and proceeded to carry out their pur- 

 pose. President Farquhar, of the S. 

 A. F., filled the position of master of 

 ceremonies with characteristic ability 

 and with Mr. Low on his left and Mr. 

 DeGraaft, of Leyden, Holland, on his 

 right, succeeded in working up an en- 

 thusiasm which must have left no 

 doubt in Mr. Low's mind of the cor- 

 dial feelings entertained here toward 

 our horticultural cousins across the 

 Atlantic.
