CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Store Notes. 



O. J. Friedman will open his branch 

 store in the Congress Annex, August 

 1st. This store will be two blocks 

 south of his present site and they are 

 both choice locations on Michigan ave- 

 nue. 



Wm. J. Kidwell will divide his at- 

 tention between his flower store on 

 43rd street and a summer resort of 

 which he has become the owner in 

 Michigan. 



The Fleischman Floral Co. say the 

 June business exceeds all former rec- 

 ords. American Beauties were in the 

 lead and they attribute this to the 

 quantity of stock which made it possi- 

 ble to sell for a lower price than usual.

Good Carnations. 



C. L. Washburn of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn says their carnation plants have 

 as careful attention now as in the win- 

 ter. He thinks the fact that so many 

 growers stop disbudding at this time 

 and in other ways neglect their stock 

 has more to do with the poor flowers 

 coming into the market than the hot 

 weather. Certainly this firm has fine 

 carnations for the season. 

 During Recess. 



The Chicago Florists' Club banquet 

 will take place as announced on July 

 7th. The guests are not to include

 extra June work has caused Chicago 

 florists to suspend their bowling tem- 

 porarily.
