l the F. J. Benthey establishment at New- 

 castle, where it has been a great suc- 

 cess from its first season. 



The wedding of L. E. Finuerman, of 

 A. Henderson & Co., and Miss Doris 

 damage will take place at Libuse hall, 

 Hoyne avenue and Twelfth street, at 6 

 p. m., December 17. The young couple 

 will be at home at 720 South St. Louis 

 avenue after December 20. 



It appears that nearly all the local 

 growers lost at least a portion of their 

 azaleas through freezing in transit. The 

 George Wittbold Co. attributes the dis- 

 aster which overtook its imports to the 

 ventilator of the refrigerator car being 

 left open. 



Miss L. A. Tonner reports that the 

 pecan nut business which she recently 

 started is exceeding expectations. She 

 says she is finding a ready market for 

 her wares, both in the candy shops and 

 among private customers. 



There are 60,000 of the Rainbow 

 freesias showing good growth at the 

 Alois Frey establishment at Crown 

 Point, not to mention 20,000 seedlings. 

 There will be nothing much to cut until 

 January, as Mr. Frey does not believe in 

 too much heat at this stage. 



Allan Humason and E. C. Pruner are 

 in Chicago. They expect to remain 

 in the city until after the first of the 

 year. 



According to William Wienhoeber, 

 the E. Wienhoeber Co., Elm street, 

 never had so large a November as in 

 1916. It was made so by the unusual 

 number of debutante parties, he says, 

 several of them bringing forty or fifty 

 orders each. 



With his Winton, C. W. McKellar 

 spent December 12 visiting growers. He 

 says flowering plants are less plentiful 

 than usual, but that there will be a 

 big supply of carnations. 



One rarely sees a more attractive 

 window than that of the Muir store on 

 Grand boulevard. The display main- 

 tained there is particularly effective 

 after dark and would do much credit 

 to a store on a main-traveled business 

 street. 



A. F. Keenan says that "anybody 

 can do business at the holidays; it's the 

 ability to do business between times 

 that counts."
