Walter asserts that the company 

 agreed to sell liim his own flowers. 

 When protest was made because he 

 opened a retail store, he says he told 

 his associates that he would buy his 

 own flowers from the company and 

 pay it 15 per cent, commission, the 

 same as any other retail dealer would. 

 He says this plan was agreed to. 



Stockholders of the company de- 

 clare that it isn't in any sense a trust 

 and that they organized it merely for 

 the purpose of mutual profit and pro- 

 tection. — Denver Rc['ubiicaii.

CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Trade Notes. 



The floral auto parade June 3rd 

 could not be counted as an important 

 event from the florists' standpoint. 

 Several beautiful autos were seen but 

 the decorations were almost without 

 exception done with artificial flowers. 



Chas. Erne has deferred the open- 

 ing of a retail store till later in the 

 summer and will remain till that time 

 with the E. H. Hunt Co. as before. 

 This firm reports a good spring trade 

 and will soon begin to put the store 

 through its annual cleaning process. 



The Chicago Growers' Exchange 

 was of short duration, the growers 

 selling their stock under its auspices 

 on the 7% per cent, basis being noti- 

 fied June 5th to make their sale tick- 

 ets in tlieir own names as previously. 

 The Exchange was organized two 

 weeks ago by E. E. Pieser and Henry 

 Van Gelder in the old Flower Grow- 

 ers' Market. 



Memorial Day quickly used up a 

 large amount of bedding stock. Plants 

 that were in bloom and those showing 

 color, of course, had preference. The 

 extreme hot weather made the de- 

 mand more centered on that one week 

 than possibly ever before, and the de- 

 livery of the stock was no small item, 

 every available conveyance being 

 pressed into service night and day. 



The only geranium in short suinjly 

 was Poitevine. There were enough 

 late plants of all other varieties to fill 

 the after-Memorial orders for lawns, 

 window boxes, etc., and these are now 

 about taken care of. The trade is get- 

 ting more and more to be confined to 

 the outlying districts, especially in the 

 vicinity of the cemeteries, and the 

 downtown florists had little part in it 

 with either plants or flowers. 



The final steps were taken June 5th 

 to perfect the organization incorpor- 

 ated under the name of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association with a 

 membership of over fifty growers. 

 The meeting was held in the parlors 

 of the Palmer House and John Kid- 

 well was elected president, Wm. Mer- 

 rett vice-president, Geo. B. Weiland 

 secretary, and Anton Then treasurer. 

 These and August Jurgens and two 

 growers from Niles Center, 111., will 

 constitute a board of managers and 

 will meet on the Sth to discuss time 

 and place for opening. The business 

 is to be in the hands of a manager 

 who is not yet secured. 



Robbers stole some money and valu- 

 able papers from the store of A. S. 

 Kidwell, florist, 929 East Forty-Third 



street, -June 2. The cracksmen opened 

 the sate by knocking off the knob of 

 its combination and then using dyna- 

 mite. The robbery was discovered 

 when Kidwell opened the store.

 veloping the Galvin business.
