CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Trade Items. 



E. C. Amling asserts that White Kil- 

 larney has supplanted Kaiserin. in his 

 experience, and that in the near fu- 

 ture -a red Killarney will take the 

 place of Richmond. 



C. H. Ketcham of South Haven, 

 Mich., who specializes in gladioli, is 

 sending some fine stock to Chicago. 

 His America were excellent and cut 

 with four-foot stems. 



All the wholesale houses are now 

 closing at 5 p. m., as is their practice 

 during July and August. Here is 

 where they are the envy of the retail- 

 ers, many of whom must keep open 

 . shop till 10 p. m. 



The green and white windows are 

 the most popular now and it certainly 

 is a pleasure to the passershy to stop 

 and look at them. Even the sugges- 

 tion of coolness is appreciated by

A large sign over the entrance to 

 176 Michigan avenue announces the 

 opening of the Chicago Flower Grow- 

 ers' Association for the 15th of July 

 and the building is being put in readi- 

 ness. Two of the four stories will be 

 occupied by the new firm and the 

 others rented for the present. A 

 wholesale florists' sign looks unusual 

 on Michigan avenue, but the building 

 is really very close to the old district, 

 an alley only, separating it from the 

 J. A. Budlong place. 



Frank Oechslin, 4911 W. Quincy 

 street, who grows plants for the whole- 

 sale trade, is fast getting his new 

 range of six houses into shape. It 

 will make a fine addition to his al- 

 ready fine place. A new office is also 

 under construction and will greatly 

 facilitate the handling of orders, etc. 

 Over 4000 square feet of cement walk 

 have been laid, the parkways have 

 been planted to bedding stock and 

 other general improvements made. 

 The new range is constructed of ce- 

 ment walls with pipe frame. The 

 Foley Manufacturing Co. furnished the 

 rafters and gutters. A No. 12 Kroe- 

 schell boiler will complete the equip- 

 ment. 



Personal. 



Phil Schup and family are at their 

 summer home at Lake Geneva. 



Nick Miller is able to take up his 

 work again after being off duty for a 

 month with a disabled shoulder caused 

 by a. fall from a ladder. 



A Lange and family will start for 

 the west July 10th. On account of 

 the hot weather Mr. Lange has given 

 up California and will make Colorado 

 Springs his headquarters. 



A. J. Simmons of 63rd street is 

 rapidly regaining his health and is 

 anticipating an outing with the Na- 

 tional Guards, of which he is a mem- 

 ber, at the state encampment. 



-Martha Gunderberg reports her 

 mother as doing nicely though it is 

 still too early to tell whether the cuts 

 made by broken glass will leave per- 

 manent scars. Mrs. Gunderberg was 

 on the Milwaukee car coming from the 

 Saengerfest and reported last week as 

 seriously injured. 



Jack Byers, who left a week ago 

 for a motor boat cruise on Lake Mich- 

 igan, had a very narrow escape from 

 drowning. The little boat met with a 

 very rough sea and the engine broke 

 just as she was going into the harbor. 

 Had this happened outside it is ex- 

 tremely doubtful if the occupants of 



the boat could have reached shore. 



Mrs. Joseph Brooks of Morton Grove 

 came very near being a victim to pre- 

 mature celebration of July 4th. While 

 the family was sitting on the lawn 

 Sunday evening a falling rocket stick 

 passed through Mrs. Brooks' hair just 

 grazing her head. It fell with great 

 force and would have caused injury 

 and possible death had it struck her 

 squarely on the head.
