 who fly away to Europe leaving un- 

 paid bills behind are but the will o'

CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Greenhouse Fire. 



The third florist to suffer loss by 

 fire very recently was August Jin 

 2217 Herndon street, whose place was 

 iiadh injured August 30th. Mr. Jur- 

 gens, who lias been here 20 years, 

 was aroused at 11 P. M. by his 

 daughter, who had awakened to find 

 the house full of smoke. So dense was 

 the smoke that it was with difficulty 

 that the five small children and their 

 parents made their escape. The five 

 greenhouses were badly damaged, 

 about 25 feet being burned from each, 

 and the adjoining shed containing an 

 automobile, tools, etc., is a complete 

 loss. The horses were saved and for- 

 tunately the most of the early bulbs 

 were planted and the Holland bulbs 

 arrived later. There was no insurance 

 and Mr. Jurgens estimates his loss be- 

 tween three and five thousand dollars. 

 Work has already begun on the houses 

 which will be put in shape for winter 

 use and at some future date a new 

 range will be built. The house, which 

 was connected with the greenhouses, 

 is also badly damaged by fire and 

 water. 



Wedding Bells. 



Saturday, August 26th, Allie Zeck 

 and Emma Pagels were quietly mar- 

 ried and slipped away to Milwaukee

 to their many friends. The groom is

 and has been associated with them in 

 the wholesale commission business for 

 some time. He is an active member 

 of the Chicago florists' Club and a 

 leader in the bowling games, and has 

 the best wishes of the entire trade. 

 Mr. and Mis. Zeck have begun house- 

 keeping at 3630 X. Leavitt street.
