In the conservatory at the rear of the 

 store, opening into the hotel, there also 

 is a pool and some live ducklings are 

 being tried there. The canaries with 

 which the place was stocked at its open- 

 ing all have died or flown away. 



iLast week E. C. Amling and H. N. 

 Bruns, in their twin-sixes, and John 

 Michelsen, in his big Moline-Knight, 

 made a three days' trip to Fox Lake 

 with their families. 



Up to July 1 W. J. Keimel had sent 

 in the names of forty new members for 

 the S. A. F. He is a director and hopes 

 to attend the Houston convention. 



Having decided to disseminate the 

 red seedling carnation with which he 

 has been capturing prizes at the shows 

 and dollars in the market for several 



years, John Then has registered it 

 under the name Thenanthos. 



Those erstwhile florists, Lubliner & 

 Trinz, added another movie to their 

 string August 5, when they opened Co- 

 vent Garden, the largest moving picture 

 house in Chicago. 



Instead of being in the market for 

 field-grown carnation plants, as waa the 

 case last season, the George H. Heim 

 Co., at Blue Island, this year has 73,000 

 in the field with less than 25,000 needed 

 to stock the houses. It has been a good 

 growing season. The establishment has 

 been rebuilt and put into first-class 

 condition since coming under the pres- 

 ent management. 



At Maywood the Weiss & Meyer Co., 

 which specializes on Beauties, is get- 



ting a nice cut from young stock and 

 from houses that were rested and re- 

 planted. 



Charles A. Samuelson, 2134 South 

 Michigan avenue, has returned from an 

 outing on his Idaho ranch. 



Though the season has bee» a re- 

 markably busy one for the American 

 Greenhouse Mfg. Co., P. L. McKee has 

 managed to tick off close to 3,000 miles 

 on the speedometer of his Chevrolet, by 

 combining business and pleasure. With 

 his wife and child to help him enjoy 

 the trip, he has made short runs through 

 the southern and central part of the 

 state, incidentally touching Joliet, Mor- 

 ris, Dwight, Bloomington, Lincoln, 

 Springfield, Decatur, Champaign and 

 Kankakee.
