CHICAGO 



A. Henderson expects cannas to be 

 here in another week. 



J. Huebner says business runs 

 steadily this season and the daily so- 

 cial and club events call for the mod- 

 erate use of flowers rather than an oc- 

 casional big event with many flowers, 

 a condition which he thinks preferable 

 to the florist. 



The Chicago florists are keeping up 

 their interest in bowling under their 

 able captain John, Huebner, and are 

 making their usual good scores each 

 week. The end will come in March 

 when they will participate in the 

 State Tournament. 



Miss Paradise received word of the 

 safe arrival of A. L. Vaughan and 

 Family in St. Petersburg, Florida. A. 

 L. Vaughan is one of Chicago's pioneer 

 wholesale florists, who has steadily 

 devoted himself to business for many 

 years. His trip will take several 

 weeks and includes a visit to his 

 brother at Collinston, La. 



The news of the death of C. Frauen- 

 felder came as a great shock to his 

 many friends in the trade, when they 

 learned the sad news Monday morn- 

 ing. 



He was at the Victory Banquet only 

 a few days before and was apparently 

 in the best of health. 



He was one of the oldest men in the 

 retail trade, having been at 3343 W. 

 Madison street for thirty-five years. 



His obituary will be found on an- 

 other page. 



Our attention is called to a trade 

 list of 1904, sent out by Geo. Hancock 

 & Son, of Grand Haven, Mich., adver- 

 tising rooted cuttings of fifty-five va- 

 rieties of carnations, none of which 

 are in cultivation today. 



Among them are noted, Enchantress, 

 Boston Market, G H. Crane, Prosperi- 

 ty. Mrs. Lawson, Mrs. Roosevelt and 

 Flora Hill. On the margin appears 

 some terse comments as applicable to- 

 day as ever, as "Life is too short and 

 coal too high to be wasted growing 

 poor stuff," and "Can you afford to 

 grow poor varieties? If you can you 

 are the only one." 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 

 William F. Gude is a member of the 

 board of the National Metropolitan 

 bank and has also been elected a 

 director of the Washington Chamber 

 of Commerce. Mr. Gude polled the 

 highest number of votes of any of the
