CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Trade News. 



In the 4th of July parade at Hins- 

 dale, III., the firm of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn had a float, done in natural flow- 

 ers, plants, etc. 



Work is progressing on the Fair- 

 banks building and though the noise 

 and dust are very trying now, the 

 florists there are in a fair way to have 

 greatly improved quarters before busi- 

 ness opens in the fall. 



The horse show at Lake Forest was 

 an event of considerable interest to 

 Chicago florists, and many of the 

 carts were beautifully decorated. To

Clarence Peterson, who is here in 

 the interest of J. A. Peterson of Cin- 

 cinnati, O., introducer of Begonia 

 Glory of Cincinnati, says they are well 

 pleased with the results of its first 

 year on the market. 



John B. Gawrys, 5115 Lincoln ave- 

 nue, was accidentally shot by Richard 

 Weber, 6025 N. Lincoln street in front 

 of Peter Reinberg's greenhouse while 

 celebrating with a revolver. Both 

 were employees of Peter Reinberg and 

 the dead man was familiarly known as 

 "Big John." He was 33 years old and 

 leaves a wife and three small children. 

 Weber was arrested. 



Among the notable decorations of 

 the past week was one by Raske for 

 the banquet of the White Sox at the 

 Automobile Club. Both the table and 

 ceiling were laid out in diamond form, 

 the former done in white carnations 

 and Beauties, with Asparagus Spren- 

 geri for the field and the latter with 

 Asparagus plumosa. A shield done 

 in the club's colors was very effective. 



Adam Zender has the sympathy of 

 his many friends in the loss of much 

 of his greenhouse plant by fire on 

 July 4th. While Mr. Zender was at 

 the ball game the barn took fire, pre- 

 sumably from firecrackers which his 

 children were enjoying and before the 

 fire was extinguished the barn was de- 

 stroyed, all the boiler and packing 

 sheds, one greenhouse and fifteen feet 

 off the end of the entire row. All his 

 implements were lost and one horse 

 met death in the flames. The loss will 

 be severe, probably reaching $10,000, 

 and there was no insurance. 



The Glorious Fourth is a favorite 

 day with the Polish American here for 

 weddings and this year was no excep- 

 tion. A special feature of these occa- 

 sions is one greatly appreciated by 

 the local florist. The love of the 

 Polish people for flowers is very 

 strong and not only the bride but all 

 the relatives use flowers. The 

 women and girls carry bouquets simi- 

 lar to that of the bride but of various 

 kinds of flowers while the men and 

 boys wear two boutonieres each. As 

 the procession marches to the church 

 sometimes blocks away the flowers 

 are a noticeable part of the affair and 

 attract much attention. A local re- 

 tailer furnished eighteen bridal bou- 

 quets for a single wedding on the 

 Fourth.

Personal. 



.A deaf and dumb son of Geo. R. 

 Wheeldon who was killed by a street 

 car last week, arrived from Rochester 

 in time for the funeral which was held 

 Thursday. The florists' attended in a 

 body and interment was in Mt. Green- 

 wood Cemetery. The street car com- 

 liany will stand expenses and an effort 

 is being made to induce them to pay 

 something to the afflieted son.
