CHICAGO NOTES. 



A Rose Sale, located mostly at the 

 hotel entrances, is booked for June 

 4th. If the roses offered are of good 

 quality the idea is a good one, and 

 the florists will not be losers but gain- 

 ers by the event. 



A State street -window showing a 

 properly gowned and be-flowered June 

 bride and two flower girls attracted 

 so much attention that the walk was 

 blockaded. While there was nothing 

 strikingly new in the arrangement of 

 the flowers, the work was exquisitely 

 done. Lily of the valey was used ex- 

 clusively and no ribbon. 



Florists are interested in the an- 

 nouncement, by the local papers, of 

 the finding of a bottle on the North 

 Shore beach. Sunday, containing a 

 message' from the Christmas tree boat 

 which was lost last winter. It said: 

 "Rouse Simmons went to bottom with 

 cargo and crew, after jamming sunken 

 Ice, crushing front of boat." 



Some have the idea that the use of 

 quantities of flowers at funerals is not 

 so popular as heretofore, but Ernst 

 Wienhoeber does not share this opin- 

 ion. He had eight auto truck loads 

 and several delivery wagon loads to 

 look after at a fimeral Saturday, and 

 then many of the large pieces were 

 not sent to the house, but went direct- 

 ly to the cemetery. 



News of the death of G. L. Grant, 

 editor of the Florists' Review, and for 

 many years a resident of Chicago, was 

 learned with deep regret, by his many 



friends in the trade here. A telegram 

 was received saying that he had not 

 rallied from a second operation per- 

 formed last Friday for appendicitis, 

 and his daughter Mrs. Miller left for 

 Soquel. Cal., on Saturday. The Trib- 

 une on Monday announced his death 

 as taking place Sunday. , 



Inventory Is being taken at E. H. 

 Hunt's this week and the passing of 

 the business of the oldest florists' sup- 

 ply house of Chicago into other hands 

 is inevitable. Since the death of its 

 founder, tlie business has gone through 

 various crises and each time with ap- 

 parently a good chance for success, 

 started anew. This time the stock 

 will be sold and while no final arrange- 

 ments are completed it is pretty well 

 understood that former employees will 

 be the purchasers and the proceeds go 

 toward paying the creditors. C. M. 

 Dickinson, for many years manager, 

 and his mother Mrs. E. H. Hunt, are 

 located in Montana on a ranch near 

 Butte. 



There will be some changes in the 

 locations of the florists of the Atlas 

 Block, though no one expects to leave 

 the building. At present there are 

 twelve wholesalers on the second floor 

 and one in the basement. The other 

 basement room, formerly occupied by 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., has been rented 

 by Zeck & Mann from the second 

 floor, whose lease has been taken by 

 Dominick Frerer. now renting a room 

 from the Chicago Carnation Company, 

 same floor. John Zech and Mathias 

 H. Mann bought the Michael -Winandy 

 business, March 29, 1905, and have oc- 



cupied the same room ever since. 

 Their increased business makes a 

 large place imperative and as soon as 

 the new location is re-decorated and 

 ice boxes in they will take possession. 

 The Chicago Carnation Company have 

 also found their quarters too small and 

 partitions will be removed, doubling 

 their space. 



Personal. 

 Floren Cipar thinks he will go into 

 business for himself, having served 16 

 years with E. H. Hunt. 



John Pavelchic, who has had charge 

 or the wire work for B. H. Hunt for 

 17 years, and his four associates, are 

 now with Poehlmann Bros. Company 

 in the same capacity. 



T. T. Clark expects to spend a few 

 weeks with his parents at Beardstown, 

 111., famous for its fine fishing and its 

 annual fishing carnival in August, 

 when thousands of pounds of fish are 

 baked and given away to the summer 

 visitors. 



Visitors: B. H. Mann, Richmond, 

 Ind.; J. J. Karins. representing H. A. 

 Dreer. Philadelphia; E. E. Sted, Valpa- 

 raiso. Ind.
