knowledge of the business as sales man- 

 ager for Arnold's florists' boxes. Mr. 

 Freund organized the National Plant & 

 Flower Co., purchasing the C. V. Abeele 

 range of five houses at Sixty-first and 

 Throop street last year, and since has 

 added three houses, giving about 23,000

 eral effect is such that few of the hur- 

 rying throng pass without a second 

 glance. 



After spending June 9 and 10 in Buf- 

 falo, where he conferred with the secre- 

 tary and treasurer of the S. A. F. on 

 national show matters, George Asmus 

 returned June 11. 



Stielow Bros., of Niles Center, HI., 

 are having excellent success with Rus- 

 sell. Their stock is sent to the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association. 



Last week Frank Oechslin took in a 

 car of bays and a car of Belgian palms. 



Members of the trade will learn with 

 regret that Fred Nichols, of George 

 Reinberg's force, is suffering acutely 

 with inflammatory rheumatism and will 

 be confined to his bed for an indefinite
