Varions Notes. 



There is every indication of an unusu- 

 ally attractive show at the Florists' 

 Club's Floral Aft and Novelty Display, 

 Hotel iLa Salle Sunday afternoon and 

 evening, November 12. The retailers 

 appreciate that here will be an oppor- 

 tunity to show their work to the right 

 kind of people, for invitations are being 

 sent to the best spenders in town. The 

 hotel is lending much assistance to the 

 officers of the Florists' Club. Among 

 those who already have arranged for 

 space are the E. Wienhoeber Co., O. J. 

 Friedman, George W. Wienhoeber and 

 Walter Adams, but this is only a begin- 

 ning. 



Gene McGinnis, formerly connected 

 with the flower store of O. J. Friedman 

 in the Congress hotel, last week en- 

 tered the employ of J. H. McNeilly, 

 1155 East Sixty-third street. 



At C. W. McKellar's, Chief Sculptor 

 Frank Schleiden was busy before Hal- 

 loween carving funny faces on enor- 

 mous pumpkins, which subsequently ap- 

 peared in a number of retailers' win- 

 dows. This woVk is so diflferent from 

 most that one can tell it on sight, like 

 the work of other specially gifted 

 artists. 



The Garfield Flower Shop, 421 West 

 Sixty-third street, which was recently 

 purchased by A. Iralson and H. Conn, 

 has been completely remodeled. It is 

 now known as the Englewood Flower 

 Shop. Mr. Conn states that during the 

 last two weeks business has improved 

 fully 100 per cent, there being a partic- 

 ularly good demand for blooming 

 plants. 



L. Hoeckner has bought a new Buick 

 delivery car for the store at 408 West 

 Division street, which he took over 

 October 23, from Hanna Thielmann. Mr. 

 Hoeckner has been connected with 

 Peter Reinberg for over sixteen years 

 and he does not expect that his new 

 store will necessitate his severing the 

 connection. 



Manager William Graham, of the 

 Fleischman Floral Co., returned from 



Wabasli Avenue, ChiCB{|0

Stock of a new pompon, sport oi 

 Acto, is being worked up by Emil Reich- 

 ling at the greenhouses of Peter Bein- 

 berg. This variety, which will be reg- 

 istered shortly, bids fait' to a welcome 

 reception on the market, as it appears 

 to combine those qualities which make 

 for a successful pompon. The color is 

 a rich yellow. Mr. Reichling feels con- 

 fident of success with it. 



O. J. Friedman returned October 30 

 from New York. During Mr.- Fried- 

 man's absence "Victor Bergman found 

 himself exceedingly busy with work for 

 debutante parties and other social 

 functions. 



A. T. Pyfer says that the additional 

 space which he recently added to the 



company's store is standing them in 

 good stead, especially for the mums, 

 which are the bulkiest stock of the 

 year.

 W. N. Budd, Morgan Park, 111., presi-

 ciety, attacked in a short, spirited talk, 

 the proposed measure for park consoli- 

 dation. Mr. Budd asserted that the 

 bill was "rotten to the core," that 

 it should be fought because it was 

 wrong, for, he stated, it would make
