WE HAVE A FINE SUMMER CROP OF ROSES 



You will not be disappointed with our Summer Roses. There are none better on the Chicago Market. Good quality 

 Carnations, fine for shipping, still coming in. We also have a complete line of other summer cut flower stock. 



Shipping orders a specialty. 



Order here— you can't do better elsewhere— often not nearly so well. 



place soon. This store, by the way, is one 

 of the "veterans" in the city, the tri- 

 angular shaped room having housed a 

 flower store twenty years, most of which 

 time Mr. Johnson has been its pro- 

 prietor. 



' ' That certainly looks good, ' ' said 

 Andrew Chronis, of the Alpha Floral 

 Co., Wabash avenue and Adams street, 

 the other day as he surveyed a $50 or- 

 der for baskets and a bouquet of Kus- 

 sells that were ready to be delivered. 

 "Orders of that size are not so numer- 

 ous in the season, but the quantity of 

 smaller sales then makes the day big. 

 But in the summer — yes, that certainly 

 looks good." 



The first Pink Ophelia to reach this 

 market are reported by the E. C. Amling 

 Co. Tliey were from Wendland & Keimel 



Co., Elmhurst, where 2,000 plants of 

 the Breitmeyer sport were benched, 

 grafted on the place with wood sup- 

 plied by the disseminator. 



Bassett & Wasliburn are just finish- 

 ing the season's big addition to the new 

 range at Greggs Station. The now

 has received as early a start as that did 

 in the houses built in previous years. 



Emil Gede, of J. A. Budlong's, who 

 recently enlisted in the navy, lias been 

 called to tlie colors. He left for tlie 

 Groat Lakes Training Station July 18. 



Weiss & Meyer Co., Maywood, made 

 the first cut in a house of Hadley last 

 week. 



Clara Roinberg, daughter of George 



Reinberg, underwent an operation for 

 appendicitis at tlie Passavant Memorial 

 hospital last week. She is reported to 

 be recovering nicely. 



With his wife and little daughter on 

 an all summer's visit to Great Bend, 

 Kan., Felix Roichling, of Peter Rein- 

 berg's, is living the life of a bachelor. 



J. E. Poll worth, of Konnicott Bros. 

 Co., is back on the job after two weeks' 

 vacation. Mr. PoUworth is one of the 

 men who work while they play and he 

 has been doing a great deal of cerebrat- 

 ing and is full of new ideas for the fall. 



So far as the record shows, O. A. & 

 L. A. Tonner are the only florists in the 

 United States who also do a wholesale 

 and retail business in pecan nuts. Each
