cemetery, where the stock benched this 

 year is practically all Eudd or Johnson 

 seedlings, the only disseminated variety 

 on the place being one side bench of 

 Eosette. There are two or three espe- 

 cially promising varieties, including a 

 fine, large, floriferous red, a good dark 

 pink and a well formed white. As usual, 

 the plants are in excellent condition. 



It's quite a ways to Dawson, Yukon 

 territory, yet not too far for an order 

 for florists' supplies to travel. The or-

On South Ashland avenue, between 

 Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth streets, the 

 front of M. J. Kloeckner makes a big 

 show. It is a double store, with en- 

 trance between the two windows, which 

 are enclosed with glass at the back and 

 sides, to provide better conditions for 

 keeping cut flowers and plants. The 

 enclosed space is unusually large, well 

 lighted and is kept well filled with stock. 



Bassett & Washburn have commenced 

 to cut their first Golden Queen and Crys- 

 tal Gem chrysanthemums. 



C. O. Wilcox, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., is a member of the "flying squad- 

 ron" of 500 salesmen who have enlisted 

 to push the sale of the Chicago allot- 

 ment of the $700,000,000 second Liberty 

 loan bond issue. 



T. E. Waters, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 represented his firm at the F. T. D. con- 

 vention. Mr. Waters took with him a 

 large exhibit of supplies, which he dis- 

 played at the Statler hotel. Accom- 

 panying him was Wm. Herre, of the 

 same firm.
