 when used with lily of the valley. 



The horse show of the South Side 

 Country Club last week, which is a 

 society event, called for the use of cat- 

 tleyas for corsages and table decora- 

 tions. There were a hundred dinner 

 parties given during the week. 



Charlotte Megchelsen, Grand Blvd. 

 and 47th street, Chicago, has a fine 

 new r ice box and is refurnishing and 

 redecorating her store. The color 

 scheme of dull green and white will 

 prevail. 



John Kruchten finds his work at his 

 greenhouse plant to be fully one 

 month ahead of the average year. He 

 makes a specialty of Killarney roses 

 and, despite the unusual weather, has 

 some of the best stock of that favorite 

 rose to be seen. 



The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation at a recent meeting decided 

 upon the location at 176 Michigan ave- 

 nue, mentioned in last issue. This 

 moves the wholesale market area an- 

 other half block east. The store is be- 

 ing put in shape and will be ready for 

 occupancy about the 15th of July. No 

 choice of manager has been made yet. 



The J. C. Moninger Co. have just 

 completed their extensive catalogue, 

 upon which they have worked for two 

 years. It covers every want in green- 

 house construction, and its half tones 

 and coloring make it very attractive 

 as well as useful. Their boilers are 

 now made in Geneva, X. Y. The Mon- 

 inger Co. report an unusually busy 

 season. 



Kroeschell Bros, have been given an 

 order for a duplicate to the No. 14 

 boiler they exhibitied at the National 

 Flower Show at Boston. The purchaser, 

 John Barr, of South Natick, Mass., 

 has found it so satisfactory that he 

 will install a second one in his new 

 addition. The Kroeschell boilers are 

 taking long journeys this month, one 

 going to Vancouver, B. C, another 

 to Great Neck. L. I., for a private 

 place, and the third to Chas. Disler 

 at Irvington, N. J. 



Personal. 



J. A. McAdams of Fort Worth, Tex., 

 is a Chicago visitor. 



Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett are 

 spending a few days in Detroit this 

 week. 



Harry Balsley of Detroit is calling 

 on friends here, on his way back from 

 the west. 



Alex Newitt of St. Joseph. Mo., is 

 here to attend the wedding of his neice 

 at Joliet, 111. 



Henry Kruchten will spend a month 



in Colorado, making Denver his head- 

 quarters, but spending much time in 

 the mountains. 



Alex. Newitt of the Stuppe Floral 

 Co., St. Louis, Mo., is calling on old 

 friends here. He was for several 

 years with the J. B. Deamud Co. 



Harry Philpott and A. T. Pyfer are 

 planning to take their annual outing 

 together, immediately after the next 

 meeting of the Florists' Club, of 

 which they are officers. 



Jack Byers of the Chicago Carnation 

 Co., left Monday for a cruise with his 

 motor boat, on the eastern shore of 

 Lake Michigan. He will visit the lake 

 shore towns and return in two weeks 

 ready for no end of hard work for the 

 busy firm he is with. 



Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pasternick 

 have returned from their brief wed- 

 ding trip, and are receiving the con- 

 gratulations of their friends. Among 

 the wedding gifts were many tokens 

 of the regard in which the trade, both 

 wholesale and retail, hold the groom. 



Adolph Poehlmann had a very nar- 

 row escape from a serious injury June 

 22d. As he was stepping into his sur- 

 rey at Plant "B," the horse started to 

 run, and with the lines dragging ran 

 to Plant "A," successfully making all 

 the turns, but striking a post in the 

 yard. Mr. Poehlmann was thrown vio- 

 lently to the ground, and suffered in- 

 ternal injury. His physician thinks 

 he will soon be about again.
