UR business is constantly growing because: 



FIRST — There is no better stock in the market. 



SECOND — There is no better service to be had. 



THIRD — Every order receives the personal attention of our Mr. 

 Erne — nothing is packed until he has satisfied himself that it is 

 just what the customer wants. This personal service costs you nothing but 

 the trouble of coming here. Prices are market rates for the quahty wanted. 



We have a fine line of all Summer Flowers your customers will like to have you use at this 

 season. First come ROSES, then Cornflowers, Calendulas, Asters, Centaurea, Candytuft, 

 Larkspur, Gig^anteum liilies, 'Coreopsis, Stocks, Snapdragon, Auratum 

 Lilies and of course all the Greenhouse Flovirers as usuaL

ing John and Tonv Then, Frank and 

 Anthony Felke and N. P. Miller, to- 

 gether with their families, made merry 

 in a good old-fashioned way. Among 

 the birthday presents was a victrola 

 and Mr. Felke showed what a healthful 

 occupation tlie florist's is by dancing 

 a set with his good wife, who is in her

The Berwyn Floral Shop, 1240 to 1242 

 Wesley avenue. Oak Park, will be 

 opened this week end by Frank Rad- 

 kiewicz and his sons. They have just 

 completed the construction of a con- 

 servatory 40x100 that is connected with 

 the store. ' 



With the early preparations for the 

 fall trade, A. L^ Yaughan & Co. have 

 added to their force Morris Grossberg, 

 formerly with Percy Jones. Mr. Gross- 

 berg will have charge of the local busi- 

 ness and will cooperate with Mr. 

 Vaughan in taking care of the out-of- 

 town trade. 



F. M. .Tohnson and A. M. Anderson, of 

 the A. L. Randall Co., spent a few 

 days in looking over the New York 

 market last week. 



The growing of Ophelia and Sunburst 

 roses has proved so successful and prof- 

 itable with Pyfer & Olsem, of Wilmette, 

 that they have increased the space de- 

 voted to each variety by 5,000 plants. 



The planting of practically every- 

 thing but that of carnations has been 

 finished by Bassett & Washburn and 

 the carnations will be out of the way 

 by the end of the week. Joe Einweck, 

 who has charge of the Beauties, will 

 leave on a lake trip to Buffalo this

 business year, according to John Mich-

 up this summer. He says it will be 

 much the biggest August in the history 

 of the E. C. Amling Co. 



While most of the growers have 

 planted all the Ophelia they could pro- 

 cure, Emil Reichling has not increased 



the space given it at Peter Eeinberg's. 

 His judgment is that Ophelia is more 

 popular today than it will be one year 

 from today. 



Neither hot weather nor cool can 

 abate for one moment the zeal and 

 energy of Anton Then and his sturdy 

 sons. During the extreme heat of the 

 last month they have been busy build- 

 ing new benches in all their houses, 

 overhauling the heating system, paint-
