CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Flower Growers' Association. 



Several meetings of the board of 

 the Chicago Flower Growers' Associ- 

 ation have brought the final arrange- 

 ments nearly to an end. Though not 

 officially announced it is generally un- 

 derstood that 176 Michigan Ave. will 

 be accepted as the most desirable 

 place for handling the flowers. The 

 choice of manager will be made at the 

 next meeting on Thursday and the 

 Association will be ready for business. 

 Park Proposition. 



A pi"opositiou to build a tract of 

 land on the lake front, between and 

 connecting Grant Park on the north 

 and Jackson Park on the south is the 

 latest proposition made by the Chi- 

 cago Plan Commission. As in the 

 case of Grant Park it would be "made 

 land" and would take several years 

 but would give the people a lake front 

 of five miles, something to be greatly 

 appreciated by the thousands of peo- 

 ple who live by the lake for a life- 

 time and never see it. 



Trade Jottings. 



The E. H. Hunt Co. has just im- 

 ported several cases of fine Japanese 

 ware for the supply department.

will give its employees the annual out- 

 ing so much appreciated after a busy 

 season. 



J. Schoeple, 9.33 Belmont Ave., is 

 fortunate in having selected his green- 

 house site many years ago in what 

 has become a good business district of 

 Chicago, too valuable longer to be 

 used for the original purpose. He has 

 just closed a contract to erect a post- 

 oflice for the use of the government 

 and will remove the greenhouses but 

 the retail store adjoining will be con- 

 tinued. 



Personal. 



E. F. Winterson, Jr., has returned 

 from a month's trip among the trade. 



Lloyd Vaughan and family are plan- 

 ning to take their outing in Canada 

 this year. 



Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett, who are 

 visiting relatives here, are purchasing 

 furniture and shipping it to Pasa- 

 dena, Cal., which they have decided 

 upon as their future home. 



Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Wolbrandt of 

 the Globe Greenhouses, West Madison 

 and 53rd Ave., will leave on an auto- 

 mobile trip about July 1st. They will 

 visit Boston, New York and other 

 eastern cities. 



On Wednesday morning, June 21, at 

 St. Paul's Church, occurred the wed- 

 ding of Frank Pastemick and Eliza- 

 beth Klineselter. Mr. Pasternick has 

 been for many years buyer for the 

 E. Wienhoeber Co. and is a very pop- 

 ular young man. 



G. H. and E. E. Pieser are both far 

 from being as well as their friends in 

 the market could wish. For over thir- 

 ty years these pioneers in the whole- 

 sale cut flower market of Chicago 

 have stood at their post and no one 

 knows the ins and outs of the busi- 

 ness better than they.

 tioned the extensive violet industry 

 along the Hudson river, the product of
