CHICAGO. 



Mrs. Allie Zech, who underwent an 

 operation at the Union Hospital, March 

 17th, is reported as doing as well as 

 could be expected. 



H. Shaeffer has rented the store at 

 5518 W. Chicago avenue and will open 

 a retail store there as soon as the 

 fixtures are installed. 



J. E. Pollworth is receiving the con- 

 gratulations of his friends on his re- 

 covery from an illness which seemed 

 likely at one time to cause the loss of 

 his eyesight. 



Walter Stoklos, for eleven years with 

 Poehlmann Bros., has made a start for 

 himself and taken room 211 at E. Ran- 

 dolph St., formerly occupied by Archie 

 Spencer, where he will do a wholesale 

 commission business. 



C. Pfund Co., of Congress street, 

 Wenonah avenue, Oak Park, have sold 

 their greenhouses and retail store to 

 George Jung, who has had a store at 

 1727 N. Campbell avenue and who will 

 take possession of the new place at 

 once. Mr. Pfund, who has a fine nur- 

 sery, started at Elmhurst, will devote 

 all of his time to it. 



Some of the growers of cut flowers 

 who do not take kindly to the influx 

 of southern jonquils into this market 

 each spring, may possibly not take 

 into account how much depends upon 

 their sale. A. L. Vaughan, who re- 

 cently returned from a southern trip, 

 says many thousands of dollars are 

 invested in these flowers. 



A. Henderson & Co. have completed 

 the changes in their newly acquired 

 wholesale and retail seed store and are 

 now having a good demand for their 

 cannas, caladiums, tube roses and 

 gladioli. A stock of Boston ferns and 

 blooming bulbous plants are brighten- 

 ing the store and giving retail suc- 

 tomers something to purchase while 

 waiting for gardening time. 



Miss Gertrude Lewis and Tony 

 Rocca have rented the store at 55 E. 

 Jackson Boul. in the Cable building 

 and will open a retail flower store 

 about April 5th. The firm will be 

 known as The Lewis & Rocca Co. 

 Miss Lewis has been for 17 years with 

 J. Mangel and is well known for her 

 artistic ability in the arrangement of 

 flowers and her courteous manners 

 have made her a favorite with custom- 

 ers. Mr. Rocca has been with the 

 same firm 11 years and is a young man

 wish them a full measure of success 

 and believe they will have it. 



Probably no whole store in Chi- 

 cago contains so complete a vari- 

 ety of roses as does that of the 

 J. A. Budlong Co. From the minature 

 rose to the Mrs. Russell, every variety 

 of the season can be seen if the visitor 

 comes early enough to see the stock 

 before the day's shipping orders are 

 filled, for this house is near the top of 

 the list in the amount of shipping 

 done. A casual glance at the tables 

 today showed there were Nesbits, Sun- 

 burst, Ward, Milady, Hearst, Champ 

 Wieland, Double White Killarney, 

 Double Pink Killarney, Killarney 

 Brilliant, Killarney, Cecil Brunner, 

 Montrose, Mrs. Russell, Columbia and 

 others. 



H. N. Brims returned from the hos- 

 pital Saturday and is resting at his 

 home a few days before taking up 

 his duties at the store. 



Archie Spencer, who had a retail 

 flower store on the second floor of the 

 Atlas block for three years, has made 

 decided changes during the past week. 

 Being a man of quick action, when 

 opportunity offered he bought the 

 Hoerber Bros.' lease, fixtures, etc., and 

 then a few days later purchased the 

 store of Chas. McKellar, which he now 

 occupies. All are on the same floor. 

 The Hoerber store is for sale. Mr. 

 Spencer has as his right hand man 

 Prank Ayers, who has been with Mr. 

 McKellar many years and who is uni- 

 versally liked and respected.

 grounds Robert Barnhard, will present 

 the Rochester Park Department with 

 five holly trees. They will probably

 there are now two specimen trees. 



David Kanterowitz, 7 years old, was 

 killed by a motor truck driven by Leo
