CHICAGO NOTES. 



J. J. and A. H. Budlong are both 

 back from their recent trips for the 

 benefit of their health and the cares 

 of Phil. Schupp will be lightened. 



The chary way in which carnation 

 plants have yielded their blooms this 

 year is attributed by some to the ex- 

 treme heat in September following a 

 cool summer. 



The National Wholesale Florists' 

 Credit Association held another meet- 

 ing Dec. 10 for further perfection of 

 plans. It seems to be regarded as a 

 necessity and meets with the approval 

 o£ that branch of the trade. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. announce 

 an excursion, free to their friends and 

 customers, Dec. 18, to see the Herald 

 carnation growing at their plant at 

 Joliet. Trains leave La Salle street 

 depot at 11.45 over the Rock Island. 



A recent wind storm did some dam- 

 age to the greenhouse plant of .Jos. 

 Brooks at Morton Grove. A small shed 

 in process of construction was carried 

 up into the air and dropped upon the 

 glass. As the night was very cold 

 quick work in repairing was necessary. 



Miss Elsie Schuneman, daughter of 

 the lost Capt. Schuneman, is making 

 up wreaths from the Christmas greens 

 washed ashore from the wreck of her 

 father's schooner and selling them 

 with the trees that were also saved, at 

 her father's old position at the Clark 

 street bridge. 



South Water street is the dumping 

 ground for all grades of holly, and 

 with a large pioportion of the poorer 



quality selling this week for .$2.50 per 

 box. The better grades, handled more 

 by the wholesale florists, bring $4.50, 

 and so far are averaging good in color 

 and well berried. 



The report that the Rouse Simmons, 

 the Christmas tree schooner, had re- 

 mained in port till after the storm, as 

 stated in last week's issue, proved un- 

 true, and all hope is abandoned. Capt. 

 Scheuneman will be missed by many 

 in Chicago, where he has yearly dis- 

 posed of his cargo of trees, which this 

 year are being washed up on the 

 northern shore of Lake Michigan, 

 mute evidence of the fate of the crew. 



The Land Show, which has been at 

 the Coliseum the past two weeks, rep- 

 resented every part of the country ana 

 was well attended. The government 

 exhibits were very instructive and 

 those wishing information on irriga- 

 tion, soil, etc., had an excellent oppor- 

 tunity. The products of the states, 

 especially those of the south and west, 

 were attractively arranged and ap- 

 pealed strongly to those seeking new 

 fields.

CINCINNATI NOTES. 



J. M. McCulIough Sons Co.'s force-- 

 is plunging into the early holiday" 

 business in the way they were wont to- 

 do in past years. 



Mrs. Vincent is accompanying her 

 husband on the trip. John Evans, of 

 Richmond, Ind., came to the city with 

 Mr. and Mrs. Vincent. Other visitors 

 were Frank Farney, of M. Rice & Co., 

 Philadelphia, and Gustavo Reiniger, 

 Dayton, O. 



The banquet last Monday evening 

 was an unqualified success and the 

 committee in charge are to be con- 

 gratulated on the results of their ef- 

 forts. R. Vincent, Jr.'s, enthusiastic 

 talk on the S. A. P. and, the Interna- 

 tional Flower Show, Holland Bulb 

 yields and Homes — last three illustrat- 

 ed with stereopticon pictures — were in- 

 eresting and instructive and were en- 

 joyed by all present. Miss McNally, 

 Miss Weber and Frank Volz rendered 

 vocal selections. Miss Ida Peterson 

 played the accompaniment for Mr. 

 Voltz. Gus Adrian, president of the 

 local society, for, and on behalf of the 

 society, welcomed the guests and pre- 

 sented Chas. H. Hoffmeister the tcast- 

 master for the evening. 



Among the iindictments returned by 

 the Norfolk Grand Jury in its report 

 at Dedham, Mass., there is one against 

 Albert H. Woods, the Brookline florist, 

 who shot and killed Thomas Goldrop 

 on September 18, 1912, while the lat- 

 ter was leaving his premises after 

 having taken some violets.
