CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Items of Trade Interest. 



0. J. Friedman expects to open his 

 new store in connection witti the 

 Congress hotel about the 15th. Mr. 

 Friedman regards the summer trade 

 as up to the usual standard. 



Some beautiful tables have been 

 seen at the Blackstone, done ivith the 

 gladiolus. Mr. Mangel succeeds in 

 using this rather difficult flower in 

 such a way that it appears quite grace- 

 ful. 



Oak branches are used to good ad- 

 vantage this week in several win._.ows. 

 As a setting for the bright summer 

 flowers they are ideal. Mangel is 

 using them with his colored lilies with 

 excellent effects. 



The place known as the D. Reid 

 place at Downer's G-rove, eighteen 

 milts southwest of Chicago, has been 

 purchased by P. Reith & Co. and thi? 

 50,000 sq. ft. of glass will be devoted 

 to the growing of sweet peas mainly. 



The severe electric storm which we 

 reported last week did much damage 

 to the aster crop. The flowers show 

 the effect of the high wind and the 

 pelting rain and the aster season will 

 be necessarily shortened somewhat by 

 the storm. 



The Geo. Wittbold Co. has been do- 

 ing some large pieces of landscape 

 work. One is at Humboldt and In- 

 dependent Court where the iot is 100 

 X 200 ft. The sides are bordered with 

 shrubbery and the drive at the side 

 of the house leads back to the garage

The Walter Kreitling store has been 

 extensively overhauled and put in 

 readiness for the coming season. Mrs. 

 Kochman recently did a table for a 



past-nuptial dinner for 



, guests 

 which was exceptionally fine. The 

 round table consisted of a sunken 

 center filled with pink and white Kil- 

 larney rofes just level with the outer 

 rim of the table and in the center ol 

 which was a fountain, the spray reach- 

 ing the chandeliers and colored lights 

 under the spray gave a most beautiful 

 effect. 



Personal. 



A. E. Hunt is still unable to attend 

 to business on account of illness. 



L. R. Bohannan is expected home 

 today from a three weeks' outing with 

 his family at Lake Cora, Mich.

 returned from his outing at Twin 

 Lake, Mich., and his family will follow

O. Swan is away, on his vacation and 

 it is reported that he will not return 

 but give his whole time to his wild 

 fern business. 



Mr. and Mrs. Frank Williams of the 

 Atlas Floral Co. has returned from a 

 two weeks' trip which included a stay 

 at Mt. Clemens, Mich., where Mr. Wil- 

 liams was treated for rheumatism. 



Mrs. W. H. Caldwell of Corpus 

 Ohristi, Tex., is here to visit her 

 daughter Miss Julia, who is studying 

 in the Art Institute and is visiting the 

 various florists in Chicago and 

 vicinity. 



Geo. V, Wienhoeber, mana.ger of the 

 Pleischnian Co. is off on a two weeks 

 vacation. During his absence the store 

 will be decorated. This store reports 

 a shortage of orchids during the sum- 

 mer season. 



Joseph Klimmer of River Forest, 

 one of Chicago's western suburbs, is 

 very ill with a complication of dis- 

 eases. Though he was a little better 

 Sunday his condition is considered 

 critical. Mr. Klimmer is one of thd 

 old time florists of Chicago and very 

 well known and everybody in the 

 trade wishes him a speedy recovery. 



John Pugh, a former Chicago man 

 is calling on his old friends. He left 

 here a few years ago to take charge ot 

 a private place in the south which a 

 cyclone demolished. Later he bought 

 the wreckage from which ne has now 

 a greenhouse plant devoted largely to 

 chrysanthemums. He is at Poucha- 



toula. La., eighty miles north of New 

 Orleans and says he finds ready sale 

 for flowers.
