Among the Growers. 



Chicago carnation growers are plant- 

 ing out their young stock in the field, 

 worli having begun the last week in 

 March. This is the earliest that this 

 has ever occurred in this vicinity, but 

 the risk in the field is not so bad as 

 the certainty of the stock being ruined 

 under glass. The ground was so dry 

 that the conditions are not altogether 

 favorable on that account. 



The writer noticed an interesting ar- 

 ticle on Spanish iris in the last num- 

 ber of HORTICULTURE. As notetTin 

 our flower market report, florists are 

 growing it here very successfully un- 

 der glass. One grower says he plants 

 it between the rows of carnation plants 

 in the fall, the same wire supports 

 holding the iris and it comes into 

 bloom without interfering in any way 

 with the carnations, making the space 

 do double duty. 



A Wedding Decoration. 



Differing from the usual decorations 

 were those of the Stanley-Kimball wed- 

 ding. Twelve white posts connected 

 with ribbon outlined the path of the 

 bridal party through the parlors. On 

 the top of these posts were huge bou- 

 quets of white roses, excepting on those 

 nearest the bride und groom, which 

 were of lilies. Tne ceremony took 

 place under a canopy of asparagus and 

 white carnations ',■ itteen small tables 

 for the guests were trimmed with 

 spring flowers and the bridal table was 

 done in White Killarney roses and lily 

 of the valley. 



The Bowlers. 

 Interest in the bowling contest has 

 kept up well and the end is nearly iu 

 sight. The club team has now but 

 three postponed games to play to com- 

 plete the necessary SI and then the 

 prizes will be awarded. Frank Paster- 

 nick, the head of the team, says that 

 it will be immediately reorganized and 

 that next season an evening will be 

 selected which will not conflict with 

 the meeting of the Florists' Club, as 

 has been the case this season. 



Personal. 



Mr. and Mrs. ,T. W. Brooks have the 

 sympathy of the trade in the serious 

 illness of two of their children. Their 

 little son, who was reported five weeks 

 ago as undergoing an operation on his 

 knee, as the result of a fall, is still 

 at the hospital and their little daugh- 

 ter Daisy is now at the same hospital 

 for an operation on her throat. 



Chas. Drissler and Miss Mary Solt 

 were married at St. Michael's Church 

 last Tuesday morning. A reception 

 was held in the evening at -4734 North 

 Artesian avenue. Mr. Drissler has been 

 with Wietor Bros, in the wholesale 

 store for nine years and is very popu- 

 lar with the trade. 



Mrs. Victor Bergman has just re- 

 turned from a six weeks' visit at her 

 old home in Pittsburgh. Mrs. Berg- 

 man is the daughter of Julius Ludwig, 

 and Mr. Bergman is decorator-in-chief 

 for the Wienhoeber Co. 



Visitors: Mrs. J. Schroeder of Co- 

 lumbus, 'Neb.; Mrs. Schroeder was for- 

 merly Miss Malchea, florist, of Chi- 

 cago; Milo Crozier. Cedar Rapids, la,; 

 C. H. Woolsey, Rockford, 111. 



Messrs, Arthur Zirkman and Robert 

 Shoch, suave and elegant representa- 

 tives of M. Rice & Co., have been 

 holding forth to the florists of the Hub 

 this week with an excellent sample 

 show of ribbons, baskets and florists' 

 requisites innumerable. Among the 

 things that particularly interested us 

 were the preserved ferns and foliage 

 of various kinds. Adiantum cuneatum 

 so well done that it would defy de- 

 tection by hand or eye and absolutely 

 unfading; other adiantums of the 

 coarser species in autumn tints just as 

 one would expect to find them in the 

 woods in October; Asparagus plum- 

 osus and Sprengeri looking as if fresh 

 cut. Among the baskets that attract 

 admiration is the English "gathering 

 basket," subdued green in color, first 

 introduced by the Boston florist W. 

 E. Doyle. A gold wall basket now 

 largely used by Habermehl of Phila- 

 delphia, for large decorative effect, 

 gives promise of being a valuable ad- 

 dition to the resources of the decorat- 

 ing florist. There are Etruscan art 

 finished baskets in many artistic forms 

 that one can't help admiring. A de- 

 vice with tinfoil mounted on a roller 

 with cutter whereby it can be torn off 

 in any length of piece desired struck 

 us as something every florist will 

 want. No doubt about it — the florists' 

 supply business certainly keeps right 

 up to the times.
