BOSTON. 



Andrew Cliristenseii started alone 

 for San Francisco on August 11, going 

 via the northern route and planning to 

 return by the southern. 



Ed Welch and family have gone to 

 their cottage at Old Orchard Beach 

 for the summer. David Welch is left 

 as sole director of the store on Devon- 

 shire street and fills this i>osition with 

 a graceful dignity which seems to 

 ripen and mellow as time passes. 



A furious thunder storm accom- 

 panied by a fusilade of small hail- 

 stones and the heaviest deluge of rain 

 in this rain-soaked season, visited this 

 city and suburbs on Monday, August 

 9th. It was particularly severe in 

 Woburn, Winchester and other sub- 

 urban districts on the north side. 



Ever-industrious George Hamer is 

 back at the Flower Exchange after two 

 weeks' vacation, more than ever a 

 shining example of jierpetual motion. 

 E. A. Stickel, who has represented 

 Montrose Greenhouses for a consider- 

 able period, has got (hrough. The 

 long-talked-of fishing trip materialized 

 last Tuesday when a party of thirteen 

 from the Exchange went down the bay 

 to the Graves, as guests of Wallace 

 Greenwood of Winthrop, on his boat. 

 "Bill" Hastings won the pool with the 

 largest fish and second honors were 

 shared between Billy Mix of the Edgar 

 place and Louis Ginsbiirsj:. Between 75 

 and 100 fish of all races and persuas- 

 ions were captured by the party. 



Doorway florists in Lynn must pro- 

 cure a state license or go out of busi- 

 ness, according to a ruling of Judge 

 Lummus, who on August 10 found 

 Harry Feinzig of Boston guilty of vio- 

 lating the laws regulating itinerant 

 venders. The board of control caused 

 Feinzig to be arrested, to make a test 

 case. He was not fined, but his con- 

 viction is intended to stand as a warn- 

 ing to others who set up temporary 

 flower stands for the sale of flowers. 

 Since early spring many persons have 

 rented small shops or secured permis- 

 sion to erect stands in doorways, and 



sold flowers. The florists of the city 

 contended that this business was of a 

 temporary or transient nature, and re- 

 quired a state license. 



CHICAGO. 



The Chicago florists held a sale of 

 flowers for the benefit of the survivors 

 of the Eastland disaster. The flowers 

 were donated by the wholesale houses 

 of Chicago, and the sum realized was 

 $305.00. 



At the Florists' Club meeting last 

 Thursday, arrangements for the Flow- 

 er Show were discussed, but nothing 

 deflnlte was settled. Vaughan's Seed 

 Store exhibited a vase of delphinums. 

 There was an attendance of about 40.
