CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Personal. 



Peter Scrozsynski left on Monday 

 for a trip around the Great Lakes. 



C. C. Pollworth and wife, of Milwau- 

 kee, have been spending a few days 

 in Chicago. 



Geo. Weiland's new store on North 

 Clark street, near Belmont avenue, is 

 ready for business. 



Julius Roehrs. Jr., is in Chicago with 

 a superb collection of plants for the 

 Lake Forest exhibit. 



J. M. Clark, of the Leonard Seed Co., 

 has returned from a trip through 

 Michigan and Wisconsin. 



C. M. Dickinson, manager for the E. 

 H. Hunt Co., has returned from a two 

 weeks' stay at Pelican Lake. 



Of the Wittbold force, Mike Pontrich 

 is at Louisville, Ky.; A. Stenquist and 

 E. Doetch are also enjoying vacations. 



H. Philpott, of Winnipeg, left Sun- 

 day for Toronto and will return to 

 join the Chicago florists in their spe- 

 cial car to CincinnatL 



John Fuhrman, 1651 North Clark 

 street, is building a new store, flat and 

 conservatory. He has taken his stock 

 Into temporar>' quarters. 



O. P. Bassett, C. L. Washburn and 

 E. B. Bassett started from Chicago 

 July 27, for a thousand-mile auto trip, 

 going as far as Minnesota by one route 

 and returning by another. They will 

 be back in time for C. L. Washburn to 

 go with the party to Cincinnati. 



The body of C. W. Smith, whose sad 

 drowning was recorded in last weeks' 

 Issue, is still somewhere in the em- 

 brace of the lake. Everj' effort possi- 

 ble has been made to recover it, with- 

 out success. 



His brother, Albert Smith, with 

 whom he was bathing when he lost his 

 life, is inconsolable. He will not aban- 

 don the search and has had profession- 

 al divers, the life saving crew and the 

 police force to help him. Cannonading 

 has also proved futile. Mr. Smith has 

 the sympathy of the trade in his long 

 days of unusual trial. 



ST. LOUIS PERSONALS. 



Mr. and Jlrs. Carl Beyer have re- 

 turned from a pleasant trip through 

 the western country. 



A. Y. Ellison, of The Ellison Floral 

 Co., was married last week in Belle- 

 ville, 111., to Miss L. Hastings of Chi- 

 cago. 



Mr. and Mrs. Huge* Gross of Kirk- 

 wood have returned home after an en- 

 joyable trip to California and other 

 western states. 



George Waldbart sailed from New 

 York on July 2S for an extended trip 

 through Europe. He will return about 

 October 1st. 



Des Plaines, III.— H. C. Bluett, who 

 makes a specialty of sweet peas un- 

 der glass, reports returns this year 

 lower than those of previous years 

 and that the cause is overproduction. 

 Des Plaines is becoming quite a green- 

 house centre. With the completion of 

 the Hoerber Bros', range of ten three 

 hundred-foot houses there will be nine 

 distinct greenhouse plants in this little 

 town of 2000 inhabitants. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



A painful incident occurred in local 

 wholesale circles last week. William 

 J. Baker took a vacation. At latest 

 accounts the patient was resting easily, 

 and had increased his avoirdupois by 

 nearly two pounds. 



It is understood that the third an- 

 nual meeting of the Association of 

 Railroad Gardeners, scheduled for AUt 

 gust 24th, will take place at Horticul- 

 tural Hall, commencing at 10 a. m. 

 Paul Huebner of the Reading is an 

 active spirit in the local arrangements. 



The first chrysanthemums of the sea- 

 son arrived at Pennock-Meehan Co.'s, 

 July 21st. They were quickly picked 

 up by an enterprising retailer. A small 

 lot — only four of them; thank heaven 

 there's no more of them — for a couple 

 of months at least. We have trouble 

 enough without 'mums at present. 



The time table is the center of in- 

 terest at present Flower price lists 

 are bald and weary narratives for the 

 time being. The transportation com- 

 panies are standing to their guns with 

 grim courage. Won't give a point to 

 anybody even under the most heart- 

 rending circumstances. Haughty ty- 

 rants! 



The Leo Niessen Co. were strong on 

 sv.-eet peas last week, and naturally 

 objected to our market report, which 

 mentioned these as generally very 

 poor. Which was true. We are glad 

 to bear there was at least one oasis in 

 the desert. Leo should talk before — 

 not after— the event. Mind telepathy 

 is not yet an exact science.
