CHICAGO. 



nprnanl WoIh. roriiierly with A. L. 

 nuiidnll Co. Is now In charKe of the 

 supplloH nl the American Bulb Co. 



J. Dldler has sold his store at 6973 

 N. (Murk street to C. Swanson and ex- 

 pects to take down his greenhouses at 

 7r>39 Ridge avenue this summer. 



The trade In Kcneral Is Interested In 

 the fact that the Government has pur- 

 chased L'O.ono copies of the May num- 

 ber of the Garden .MaRazliie for free 

 lUairibuilon to "those Interested." i 



Knthuslastic work for the third 

 Liberty Loan Is being done by the 

 tlorists. Meetings were held by the 

 wholesalers and growers usually found 

 in the down-town district and others 

 Monday and Tuesday and all are work- 

 ing hard for the loan. They are in- 

 cluded in the 19th division which 

 .stands pledged for $3,000,000. August 

 Poehlmann is among those most active. 

 The retailers are working as a sepa- 

 rate group and Geo. Asmns and A. 

 Lange have rallied some good workers 

 to their assistance. 



The calendula loses no favor aa the 

 spring arrives. For many months the 

 bright gold color has been seen 

 steadily in the market and most of it 

 finds ready sale. At Zech & Mann's 

 where the Desplaines Floral Co. con- 

 sign their product, they say the de- 

 mand varies little. Allie Zech reports 

 a good demand for all kinds of stock 

 and does not expect the same rush 

 each week as was experienced Easter 

 week. Good stock and your money's 

 worth every time has been the motto 

 upon which they have built up a good 

 business at home and for shipping. 



The American Bulb Co. has added 

 another bookkeeper to its office force 

 to help keep up with its increasing 

 business. Just now the sliipinents of 

 gladioli are ver>- heavy and business 

 in general is rei)orted as good. Cannas 

 and caladiums are all sold out. Harry 

 Goldstein, one of the new directors 

 of the company and formerly proprie- 

 tor of two department stores, left on 

 Friday for Vancouver, where he will 

 sail on the Empress of Russia for 

 Japan. The American Bulb Co. is 

 planning to further extend their busi- 

 ness and Mr. Goldstein's experience 

 as a buyer particularly fits him to 

 represent his firm abroad. 



The committee of the publicity cam- 

 paign for flowers have placed their 

 charts in conspicuous places in the 

 wholesale houses. These charts are 

 interesting reading, as they show the 

 schedule upon which each florists' 

 proportion of advertising money Is 

 based. For example, a grower should 

 pay one dollar for every one thousand 

 square feet of glass he is rising, so 

 the man with a place of 100,000 square 

 feet should pay $100 annually for pub- 

 Ucitv to help sell his product to the 

 best advantage. The retail florist's 

 share depends upon the business he 

 Is doing, and is at the rate of three 

 dollars on every $1,000, If his sales 

 total $1110,000 per year he should de- 

 vote $300 to publicity.

 promises to be a great affair.
