door peonies. Feverfew, gypsophila, 

 candytuft, cornflower, coreopsis, gail- 

 lardia and many other summer flowers 

 are available in quantity if one is in- 

 clined to buy them. Lilium candidum 

 is plentiful and fails to clear. A few 

 early asters are seen in the market, but, 

 while some of them are good, most of 

 them are of an unsatisfactory quality. 

 Some dahlias, too, have made their ap- 

 pearance, but not much can be said of 

 their quality. 



Greens are in good supply. Home- 

 grown stock is preferred, as the south- 

 ern stock is not reaching the market in 

 sufficiently marketable shape. 



Chicago to Houston. 



The transportation committee of the 

 Chicago Florists' Club announces that 

 arrangements have been made for a 

 party in special cars to leave Chicago 

 via the Wabash railroad at 11:55 p. m., 

 Sunday, August 13, leaving St. Louis 

 via the Iron Mountain at 9 a. m. Au- 

 gust 14, reaching Houston at 2 p. m. 

 August 15, in time for the opening of 

 the S. A. F. convention. 



The fare from Chicago to Houston is 

 $30.21; a lower berth is $6.75. 



Circle tour tickets can be had, includ- 

 ing a boat trip to New York.

 tions and other particulars, address H. 

 L. Purdy, care of Wabash railroad, 808

Various Notes. 



The remodeling of the building pro- 

 vided for in the May 1 renewal of the 

 W. J. Smyth lease has been begun. 

 The double store heretofore has fronted 

 on Thirty-first street. After remodel- 

 ing the store will face Michigan ave- 

 nue, with splendid window space. 



These are days of surprises in the 

 J. A. Budlong wholesale house. Fred C. 

 Price was quietly married to Miss Ella 

 Scholz July 12. They are spending their 

 honeymoon in the Wisconsin lake re- 

 gion. Roswell Schupp, son of Manager 

 Philip C. Schupp, was married June 28 

 to Leta Schaefer. They went to Lake 

 Geneva for a week. 



It is reported at Erne & Klingel's, 

 where W. F. Dunteman, of Bensenville, 



SUMMER ROSES 



There is a reason why the Kennicott 

 Quality Cuts are so popular — they

 Mr. Dunteman is in the Oak Park hos- 

 pital for a stay of at least six weeks. 

 The grower is a member of a volunteer 

 fire department at Bensenville and in 

 responding to an alarm July 5, suffered 

 injury to the ligaments of his right leg 

 that will be slow to repair. 



The result of the election of officers 

 of the Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation, July 6, was to retain all pres- 

 ent incumbents and add one new one. 

 They are: E. Meuret, president; Fred 

 Schramm, vice-president; Charles Mc- 

 Cauley, treasurer; George Weiland, sec- 

 retary. Paul E. Klingsporn was re- 

 tained as manager. John Walsh will 

 begin a two weeks' vacation July 15. 

 Miss Florence Scriven, whose vacation 

 began July 8, has gone to visit a 

 brother in Phoenix, Ariz. 



N. J. Wietor comments on the brisk 

 demand for chrysanthemum plants. He 



says "Wietor Bros, never have had bet- 

 ter business in this department, the cut 

 back plants selling specially well. 



After being associated with Mount 

 Greenwood cemetery for nearly fifteen 

 years, A. R. Gross is leaving that em- 

 ployment in order to open an office in 

 Detroit for the practice of his profes- 

 sion as a landscape gardener. He car- 

 ries with him the good wishes of all 

 with whom he has been associated. Mr. 

 Gross has had a most thorough training 

 and experience in both the artistic and 

 the administrative side of the work and 

 will remain connected with Mount 

 Greenwood as consulting landscape 

 gardener. 



Arthur, the 10-year-old son of George 

 Weiland, of Evanston, suffered a seri- 

 ous accident last week. He threw a 

 lighted firecracker into the air. It fell 

 into a flower pot and failed to explode 

 promptly. As the boy looked into the
