 Graham, Peter Schaefer and D. D. P. 

 Roy, of Chicago, were elected to mem-

 large vases of Canna Firebird, flowered 

 in the greenhouses at Western Springs 

 and never shown in finer shape. 



The rafiSe of the silver punch bowl, 

 announced for the night, was postponed 

 for a month because those who hold 

 tickets did not wish to bar anyone 

 from participating. 



Retailers' Company Sues Stockholders. 



Acting as attorney for the Betail 

 Florists' Co., the cooperative buying 

 corporation organized within the mem- 

 bership of the Retail Florists' Associa- 

 tion, Morton H. Eddy, 109 North Dear- 

 born street, filed suit in the Municipal 

 court March 10 against eight of the 

 stockholders of the company, as follows: 



Leonard J. Stankowlcz, 2f>28 Milwaukee avenue. 

 EmU JehUk, 1825 Ashland avenue. 

 Lawrence A. Jensen, 530^ West Chicago avenue. 

 Vaclav A. Kohout, 3212 West Twenty-second 

 street. 

 Karel Moravek, 3226 Ogden avenue. 

 Joseph Papacek, S222 Morgan street. 



Joseph L. Raske, 170 West Jackson boulevard. 

 Willi m F. Schofleld, 734 North State street. 



It is alleged in each suit that "the 

 defendant subscribed for two shares of 

 the capital stock of the plaintiff corpo- 

 ration prior to the issuance of its 

 charter on to- wit: April 6, 1915, the 

 par value of each share of said stock 

 being $50; that though often requested 

 to do so, said defendant has not paid for 

 said stock, and that there is now due 

 and owing on said stock subscription a 

 balance of $80, payments having been 

 made as follows, to-wit: April 1, 1915, 

 $10; June 8, 1915, $10; that a demand 

 for the same was made by mail January 

 31, A. D. 1916." 



The summons in each case is return- 

 able March 30. 



Various Notes. 



American Beauty not only is going, 

 but is going fast. Following reports 

 from other growers who are reducing 

 the space given this former leader, Fe- 

 lix Reichling states that no new Beau- 

 ties will be planted at Peter Reinberg's 

 this season and that all the Beauty 

 plants more than 1 year old will be 

 thrown out, eighteen houses of them. 

 There now are twenty-six houses of 

 Beauties on the place, eight of them 

 replanted last season and to be car- 

 ried another year. The space in the 



eighteen houses of Beauties to be 

 thrown out will be given to increased 

 plantings of Russell, White Killarney, 

 Maryland, Richmond and Sunburst, and 

 to Champ Weiland. 



H. B. Kennicott, president of Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., and Miss Olive Artelle, 

 of San Francisco, will be quietly mar- 

 ried in Rock Island, 111., March 25. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Kennicott will make their 

 home in Chicago, at 3841 Grand boule- 

 vard. 



Growers will be interested in the an- 

 nouncement that the Pittsburgh Plate 

 Glass Co. has taken over the business, 

 stock and premises of the James H. 

 Rice Co., which is being liquidated. The 

 Pittsburgh company shortly will occupy 

 the Rice warehouse, which is large and 

 admirably located, with sidetrack fa- 

 cilities. A few years ago the Rice con- 

 cern supplied more greenhouse glass 

 than any other in the middle west, but 

 of late years, due to the efforts of A. A. 

 Lavaque, most of this business has gone 

 to the Pittsburgh people. 



R. J. Parker and E. W. Siebrecht, 

 both former employees of the A. L. Ran- 

 dall Co. and widely acquainted in the 

 trade, have formed a partnership to act 

 as purchasing agents for out-of-town 

 buyers. Wholesalers nearly all welcome 

 and encourage the appointment of local 

 buying representatives for those at a
