CHICAGO NOTES. 

 The Flower Show. 



Details tor the Chicago Flower 

 Show are rapidly nearing completion 

 and when Nov. Sth comc;; the big 

 ColiS( uni will be once more a thing of 

 beauly. The plan of the floor is very 

 attractive and the use to which the 

 flowe s will be put after I lie judging 

 will add to the general aiipearance. 

 The Hoard at a recent meeting re- 

 versed their former action regarding 

 the price of admission for Saturday 

 which had been made 50 cents and 

 will inst ad sell tickets at a uniform 

 price of 75 cents throughout the show. 

 A special meeting of the Chicago 

 Floris;s' Club will be held this week 

 to make the final arrangements. 

 Among the Retailers. 



The street carnivals or — more cor- 

 rectly — trade exhibits continue in vari- 

 ous parts of the city and are doing 

 much good as advertising mediums. 



The coming of Sarah Bernhardt and 

 the opening of the Grand Opera sea- 

 son have made quite a stir in the

\ff*'ti'^ H^rti' ulturf '.rken vou it<rite 



florists' world. The greatest living 

 actress was met at the station Sunday 

 and presented with a huge bunch of 

 Beauties to which was attached a 

 cluster of fifty orchids. 



Among the out-of-the-ordinary de- 

 signs seen this week was a standing 

 bunch of American Beauties, used as 

 a centre piece for eight large cycas 

 leaves, supported on an easel. The 

 two lower leaves hid the legs of the 

 easel and the whole made a circular 

 background five feet in circumference. 

 The effect was very good and the idea 

 was original with Harry Rowe who 

 made the piece for the Sullivan 

 funeral. 



A yellow and white chrysanthemum 

 decoration of a three-story house 

 called for a quantity of this favorite 

 flower last week. The fortunate re- 

 tailer had this just before the heavy 

 frost and could use all the chrysan- 

 themums he wanted at a very moder- 

 ate cost. The lower floors were done 

 with vases of chrysanthemums and 

 bauK ct palms and ferns and the 

 tables which were set in the ball 

 room on the third floor had a flat 

 heart-shaped piece in yellow chrysan- 

 themums for the bridal party and gold 

 laslets filled with chrysanthemums 

 en the other tables. 



Trade Jottings. 



E. Weinhoeber Co. are distributing 

 a fine souvenir in the shape of an en- 

 gagement book. It is beautifully got- 

 ten up and does credit to this well 

 known firm. 



Chas. Moiavek of W. Ogden Ave. is 

 building a show house in connection 

 with his store. When completed he 

 will have an up-to-date place in a de- 

 sirable locution. 



Chicago florists are regretting that 

 their chanct s are slim of meeting 

 many florists from other cities during 

 flower show week, as Milwaukee, 

 Indianapolis, Minneapolis, St. Louis 

 and Chicago all hold flower shows at 

 the same time. 



The Chicago Carnation Co., as 

 usual, will take an important part in 

 the flower show. Peter Olsen will take 

 their exhibit to Minneapolis and an- 

 other will also be staged at Milwau- 

 kee. Manager Pyfer will have charge 

 of their (>xhlbit at the home show. 



The Forestry class of the Chicago 

 Woman's Club at its meeting Nov. 5. 

 listened to a paper on Evolution of 

 Plants by Mrs. Sherman. Mrs. J. C. 

 Vaughan gave the Story of the Leaf 

 and Mrs. E. E. Kendall of the State 

 Forestry Com. also spoke at the 

 Arche Club, Monday. 



The South Park Commissioners of 

 Chicago have decided to install two 

 No. 14 Kroeschell hot water boilers 

 for the new propagating houses to be 

 erected at Marquette Park, Chicago, 

 111. This is said to be the largest 

 gravity hot water job erected in the 

 West this season. 



Personal. 



J. A. Schnapp of the Alpha Floral 

 Co. is back after an illness of several 

 weeks. 



The friends of Paul Blome of N. 

 Clark street are pleased to learn that 

 he is recovering from his severe ill- 

 ness.
