CHICAGO. 



The American Bulb Co. received a 

 carload of lily bulbs, new stock, from 

 Japan on March 10th. This is the first 

 Importation received since the embar- 

 go was passed. 



D. D. P. Roy has the sympathy of 



the trade in the continued illness of 

 his family. This time it is typhoid 

 fever and Mrs. Roy is again the suf- 

 ferer. She is in the Alice Home Hos- 

 pital in Lake Forest, 111. 



Herman Schiller, who spent nine 

 months in the navy, is getting back 

 into the harness again. He is looking 

 well and while apparently enjoying 

 his work for Uncle Sam, he is glad to 

 be back in the north side store again. 



No one would think to look at Harry 

 Manheim that he had spent 32 years 

 in the florists' business, yet such is 

 the case. Just eight years ago he en- 

 tered the employ of Hoerber Bros, as 

 manager of the city store, and follow- 

 ing the sale by that firm Mr. Man- 

 heim returned to his former position 

 with J. A. Budlong Co. where he will 

 be glad to meet all of his old cus- 

 tomers. 



Announcement cards are telling 

 customers that the florist business 

 conducted by the late C. Frauenfelder 

 at 3341-5 West Madison street will be 

 continued by Mrs. C. Frauenfelder 

 and Miss Edna. During her father's 

 life time Miss Edna was his right 

 hand assistant, and her ability is well 

 known, so the conduct of the business 

 will be in safe hands. Mrs. Frauen- 

 felder's interest will be largely finan- 

 cial, but working together, the out- 

 look for the future of the business is 

 remarkably good. 



The many friends of O. A. and L. A. 

 Tonner are glad to know that Miss 

 Olga is again able to visit their whole- 

 sale store, where she was seen March 

 10th for the first time in many weeks. 



Rheumatism has kept Miss Tonner 

 confined to her home and it is with 

 difficulty that she walks now, but her 

 devotion to business and the success 

 the sisters have achieved make it 

 very trying to be shut in. The store 

 is now having more space devoted to 

 the pecan interests and a glass case 

 shows the different kinds of pecan 

 nuts grown in their grove at Baconton, 

 Ga., the celebrated Schley variety be- 

 ing most prominent. Miss L. A. Ton-

ner says already this spring pecan 

 land is beginning to attract customers. 



It is noted with pleasure that in the 

 ppring openings of some of the big de- 

 partment stores this week, natural 

 plants and flowers are again used. 

 Hundreds of boxes from 18 to 24 inch- 

 es in length contain cinerarias in 

 bloom, while others have hyacinths 

 and other spring flowers with ferns. 

 Many large Boston ferns are also used 

 in decorating the store. This is a re- 

 turn to the customs of pre-war days 

 when the decorations called for a very 

 large number of plants, etc., last year's 

 openings being very simple and floral 

 decorations, excepting prepared foli- 

 age in limited quantity, being prac- 

 tically eliminated. 



Most of the florists will experience 

 a busy week as the spring opening of 

 many of the department stores will 

 call for greens of all kinds. 



The Country Farm Bureau Associa- 

 tion in co-operation with the New 

 York State College of Agriculture, 

 New York Central R. R. and Lehigh 

 Valley R. R., is conducting a "better 

 seeds special" to work through Liv- 

 ingston County. The work to be taken 

 up on these trains is demonstrations, 

 exhibitions and lectures. 



ST. LOUIS 



The Florists' masquerade party was 

 a great success. Everyone had a good 

 time. 



The St. Louis Florist Club met 

 March 13th at Jules Bourdet's Green- 

 houses. Publicity and other matters 

 were discussed. In connection, there 

 was a carnation show, also miscellan- 

 eous flowers, and all outside growers 

 were invited to contribute. 



Publicity was discussed at the meet- 

 ing of the Growers at 11 Mile House, 

 Wednesday evening, March 5th, and 

 the Milwaukee system adopted, the 

 wholesalers at every settlement with 

 the growers deducting 1 per cent, for 

 publicity. Growers' insurance was also 

 debated and a lengthy meeting was 

 held. 



WASHINGTON^ D. C. 

 John Sharper, Oxon Hill, Md., has 

 just completed a greenhouse 35 x 150, 

 which will be planted to sweet peas 

 and carnations. 



George Gouldman, just discharged 

 from the Marine Corps, has returned 

 to the Louise Flower Shop. Miss 

 Louise Dougherty, the proprietor, has 

 been quite ill with influenza. 



Corp. Norman Padgett, formerly 

 with Gude Bros., is at Hoboken, N. J , 

 awaiting demobilization. He was bad- 

 ly gassed at Chateau-Thierry. Robert 

 Baggot, another of Gude Bros, men, 

 has just been released from the army.
