The Fleischman Floral Co. are com- 

 pleting an ice box for orchids, lily of

Hughes' baseball window is drawing

 store noted for its window displays. 



The Jesselson Flower Shop on G3rd

 interested financially.

the Chicago Carnation Co. at Joliet and 

 is emphatic in his praises of the Wash- 

 ington Carnation which is a sport of 

 Enchantress with the color of Lawson. 



Clematis paniculata sprays are being 

 used with good effect by florists in 

 making up large designs. Among the 

 porches now hung with this beautiful 

 vine was one seen recently by the 

 writer that was particularly fine. A 

 large vine of Virginia creeper was 

 trained as a backgi-ound and over it 

 trailed the clematis, its lighter green 

 leaves and white flowers showing to 

 e.xcellent advantage against the dark 

 green. 



Personal. 



The news of the death of Geo. Witt- 

 bold was heard with sincere regret in 

 the flower markets. Mr. Wittbold was 

 probably the longest in the business 

 of any florist in Chicago, having been 

 actively engaged in it for fifty-three 

 consecutive years. A sketch of his 

 life appears in the obituary columns. 



John Kidwell one of Chicago's best 

 known retired florists was married last 

 month to Miss A. Nelson the sister of 

 the first Mrs. Kidwell who died a year 

 ago. Mr. and Mrs. Kidwell forgot to 

 mention their marriage to their many 

 friends in the trade but the heartiest 

 congratulations are offered just the 

 same. 



Tuesday's Record Herald gave an 

 accoimt of the jumping from a moving 

 train of Charles Nelson of 1605 N. 

 Leavitt St., while in a state of sup- 

 posed insanity, near Grand Junction. 

 Colo. Charley Nelson is well known, 

 having had a I'etail store on Milwau- 

 kee Ave. and his friends hope the re- 

 port will prove unfounded. He was 

 also reported lost in the earthquake 

 in Italy three years ago.

Dayton, O. — W. G. Mathews made 

 a stunning floral display at the recent 

 Montgomery County Fair, receiving 

 first prize on American Beauty roses, 

 gladioli, cannas and several other cut 

 flower classes. A flrst prize was also 

 captured by the bridal table, which, 

 furnished complete with service of 

 china and silver, was beautifully de- 

 corated with Japanese lilies and lilies 

 of the v'alley and many little butter- 

 flies. In addition to the floral display, 

 Mr. Matthews had taken to the fair, 

 upon request, a complete line of flor- 

 ists' supplies, such as ornamental bas- 

 kets, fern dishes, etc., which were an 

 interesting feature of his very beauti- 

 ful and notable display.

Among recent wedding decorations 

 by A. Lange, Chicago, was that of a 

 table in the shape of a horseshoe seat- 

 ing fifty-five guests, arranged with the 

 bride and groom at the head. Plates 

 were placed on the outside only. The 

 three nails on either side were repre- 

 sented by flat designs filled with Kil- 

 larney roses while the one at the top 

 was done with white. A bank of 

 palms with lilies completed the decor- 

 ations of the large room.
