distance, as it serves to relieve the 

 seller of responsibility in the occasional 

 cases of mishap that always occur in 

 handling a perishable article. 



Charles Erne still is flat on his back 

 in Michael Beese hospital, a month after 

 his operation. His general condition is 

 excellent, but one of the incisions has 

 not healed as expected. 



When one changes one's mind all 

 sorts of complications sometimes arise, 

 as, for instance, in the case of H. N. 

 Bruns and his British permit to import 

 via Rotterdam 3,000,000 Hamburg val- 

 ley pips. The date having become so 

 late, Mr. Bruns feared to ship via the 

 Rotterdam boats, which are without 

 cold storage, and ordered the pips sent 

 via Copenhagen, where boats with cold 

 storage are available. But his permit 

 was for Rotterdam and the British con- 

 sul at Copenhagen, not having been ad- 

 vised, would not o. k. the documents. 

 Result, a resort to the wireless. The 

 tolls at this end alone were $54 before 

 word was received from Washington 

 the London authorities were cabling 

 Copenhagen to let the Bruns shipment 

 pass. 



The trade here will be interested to 

 know that C. Q. Anderson, who left 

 Morton Grove to take charge of the 

 Minneapolis Floral Co., recently has 

 joined the staff of Gullett & Sons, Lin- 

 coln, HI. 



It is an old saying that "a prophet 

 is not without honor save in his own 

 country, ' ' but William Graham, who 

 since January 1 has been manager of 

 the Fleischman Floral Co., has been 

 sent for to return to his home town of 

 Philadelphia next week to take charge 

 of the decorations and floor arrange- 

 ments of the National Flower Show. 



Carl N. Thomas, who has spent four 

 months in the cut flower department of 

 the A. L. Randall Co., leaves March 18

A new flower store has been opened 

 at 3161 Milwaukee avenue by Miss F. 

 Lenetty. 



Talk about carrying coals to New- 

 castle, the A. L. Randall Co. has ar- 

 ranged for space for a trades' display 

 of florists' supplies at the National 

 Flower Show at Philadelphia. R. E. 

 Blackshaw will be in charge. F. M. 

 Johnson plans to run down for a day. 



One is almost persuaded that C. L. 

 Washburn, of Bassett & Washburn, con- 

 tracted the west coast fever during his 

 visit to California last summer, as he is 

 making preparations for another trip 

 to Pasadena, in company with -Mrs. 

 Washburn, starting March 24. 



Among those who plan to attend the 

 National Flower Show are W. J. Smyth, 

 Mrs. Smyth and their daughter. It 

 seems that quite a few will go for the 

 closing days of the show, instead of for 

 the opening.
