CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Trade Items. 



Last Sunday was daisy day at the 

 Blackstone Hotel, and J. Mangel had 

 the dining room beautifully decorated 

 with Shasta daisies in immense quan- 

 tities. 



Strail & Hahn had the floral end of 

 the opening of the Potthast restaurant, 

 corner of Franklin and Madison Sts., 

 Monday. It was done with long- 

 stemmed American Beauty roses. 



O. Friedman is planning to open his 

 new store two. doors north of the well 

 known Hauswirth store, now closed, 

 and which he hopes to have ready for 

 use during the Knight Templars' Con- 

 clave. 



The Land Show which will be held 

 again this year in the Coliseum, will 

 extend their time from Nov. 4 to 28. 

 This exhibition of the products of the 

 various states as well as many other 

 features wore of much interest to 

 florists last year and will no doubt 

 have still more for them this year. 



At the E. H. Hunt supply house was 

 seen the first steel hose shipped here. 

 It looks as if it. were nearly, if not 

 quite, as pliable as rubber, and if it 

 proves to be of as enduring qualities 

 as is claimed by the manufacturers, it 

 will prove a boon to florists. At any 

 rate its appearance is greatly in its 

 favor. 



The coming of the Knight Templars 

 for their 31st Triennial Conclave, is

an event of considerable importance 

 to florists, many of whom are located 

 close to their headquarters. Many are 

 planning to have their windows ap- 

 propriately decorated. Several of the 

 largest hotels have their rooms all en- 

 gaged and quantities of flowers will 

 be needed. 



Several of the down-town florists 

 had a nice increase to their July sales 

 by the flowers used at the funeral of 

 Ira G. Rawn. of Willmette. Two cov- 

 ers, one by Fleischraan, of white Kil- 

 lanieys and lily of the valley, and one 

 by Lang", of pink and white Killarneys 

 with panel of white sweet peas, were 

 used over and beneath the casket, 

 while the various other offerings in- 

 cluded a number of large wreaths of 

 unusual size and beauty. For the lat- 

 ter I. ilium auratum came in especially 

 nice. 



Vacation Notes. 



Miss Else Schnapp left Monday for 

 a two weeks' rest and the Alpha will 

 he without its popular saleswoman. 

 C. M. Dickinson is at Pelican Lake, 

 Wis. Clara Burkhardt, of the supply 

 department at E. H. Hunt's, is en- 

 joying a well earned rest. Prances 

 Brundage is having a vacation at La 

 Harpe, 111. O. .J. Friedman is with 

 his family at Charlevoix, Mich. Miss 

 Margaret Gruenig, maker at Fleisch- 

 man's, is in the east visiting her old 

 friends. Miss Gruenig was formerly 

 with the Fleischman Co. in New York, 

 but has become much attached to Chi- 

 cago. Tom Fogarty is in Michigan, 

 fishing. Easier work than trying to 

 buy good flowers just now. The sym- 

 pathy of the trade is extended to Peter 

 Miller, with the Fleischman Floral Co., 

 who lost his mother during his visit 

 at Indianapolis. Mr. Miller was given 

 an extra week to spend at his old 

 home. 



Personal. 

 Mr. and Mrs. Chas. McKellar reached 

 Boston this week on their automobile 

 tour and will go to Portland, Maine. 



A letter from A. Lange announces 

 the safe arrival of himself and family 

 in Omaha, Neb., where they are spend- 

 ing a few weeks with Mrs. Lange's 

 parents. 



G. H. Pieser, who has been out of 

 health for over a year is not gaining 

 very rapidly and will soon take a trip 

 which his friends hope will be of ben- 

 efit to him. 



Mike Pink, of Kennicott Bros., will 

 enjoy a trip to New York at the ex- 



pense of the firm. A good way to 

 show the appreciation of the firm 

 which he has served faithfully. 



Lloyd Vaughan and family have re- 

 turned from an outing near Minoqua, 

 Wis., where their stay was not all rest 

 and relaxation. The forest fires came 

 so near them that a close watch-out 

 was necessary for a week to insure 

 their safety, and the first opportunity 

 was taken to make their retreat. Mr. 

 Vaughan says it will take a week to 

 recover from that vacation.
