CHICAGO NOTES. 



Conservation. 



An association with great possibili- 

 ties was organized in Chicago, April 

 22nd. It is known as the Illinois Con- 

 servation Association, with R. R. Mc- 

 cormick as president. Its object is to 

 guard the public interests of the state 

 in the streams, the submerged lands 

 and natural beauty spots of Illinois. 

 It is non-partisan. 



Charity. 



The Home for Destitute Crippled 

 Children in Chicago received the bene- 

 fit of an annual flower sale, which this 

 year made its fifth, on April 22nd, at 

 Lincoln Hall. The receipts amounted 

 to $1,500 and some of the florists con- 

 tributed generously. 



Philanthropy. 

 Martin A. Ryerson, a wealthy lum- 

 berman, gave the city of Muskegon, 



Established 1874.

Prosperity. 



If any are inclined to believe the 

 use of flowers at funerals is dying out 

 they should have been at the County 

 Hospital on the 21st. While the room 

 already contained all the flowers that 

 could be arranged in it a procession 

 of florists was still arriving with their 

 auto deliveries. Twelve were said to 

 he in line. 



Shakespeare Day. 



The observance of Shakespeare Day 

 by placing flowers on the monument 

 in Lincoln Park has become an an- 

 nual event of importance to florists. 

 The floral tributes were very numer- 

 ous and largely in the form of 

 wreaths. E. Wienhoeber had twenty- 

 seven orders, including one from 

 Madam Sara Bernhardt, which was a 

 large wreath of lavender, yellow and 

 blue iris. A. Lange furnished a beauti- 

 ful magnolia wreath. Practically all 

 the well known actors of the day sent 

 tokens. 



Trade Notes. 



Frank Oechslin will begin work very 

 soon on a range of greenhouses. 



The southwest side is noted for its 

 small flower stores and it is expected 

 that three more will be opened this 

 spring. 



The O. J. Friedman store at 185 

 Michigan Ave., is now of the past and 

 the old force are retained at the 226 

 Michigan Ave. store, known as The 

 Congress Floral Co. 



The Winterson Seed Store is a very 

 busy place these days and the senior 

 member of the firm, now eighty years 

 old, is as lively as the youngest in 

 looking after the wants of customers. 

 Three car loads of stock from Belgium 

 and Holland arrived Hiis month. 



This week will see all the moving 

 florists in their new places of busi- 

 ness. The name of J. A. Budlong on 

 the door at 82 E. Randolph is becom- 

 ing familiar and with him will be 

 located Sinner Bros., Hunt Bros., 

 Frank Beu, M. Gunterberg, Sidney 

 Wippin and H. C. Blewitt. The Chi- 

 cago Carnation Co. takes their more 

 commodious rooms across the hall 

 where a large, pew ice box has been 

 installed and they will have with them 

 Hartha Tonner and A. Prere. It looks 

 now as if the Percy Jones business 

 would be the only one left in the old 

 Flower Growers' Market. 

 Personal. 



Wm. Groff is now with Kennicott 



Bros., where he has a permanent posi- 

 tion. 



H. C. Blewitt of Desplaines is slow- 

 ly improving, but not yet able to be 

 at the market. 



The family of Phil Schup will go to 

 their summer home at Williams' Bay, 

 Wis., about the middle of May. 



T. E. Waters has left the A. L. 

 Randall Co. and it is reported that he 

 will go into business for himself. 



Geo. Woodward is very ill at the 

 Passavant hospital w'here he under- 

 went an operation two weeks ago. 



W. Lynch, for many years manager 

 of the E. H. Hunt cut flower depart- 

 ment, leaves this week and will short- 

 ly go into business for himself. 



C. Frauentelder is in Phoenix, Ariz., 

 where he was called by the death of 

 his sister. He is accompanied by his 

 daughter and may visit some other 

 cities before returning. 



Visitors: H. Wills, Minneapolis, 

 Minn. ; F. L. Tornquist, Benton Har- 

 bor, Mich.; Gus. Frederickson, St.
