Clara Phillips 

 is at Memphis, 



His bride was Mrs 

 Cathey, whose home 

 Tenn., but who is known in piusical cir 

 cles throughout America. The cere- 

 mony was performed in Chicago Novem- 

 ber 6. While here Mr. Burt visited 

 many points of trade interest. He has 

 one of the largest stores on the Pacific 

 coast. 



W. H. Noble, who has a greenhouse 

 establishment at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., 

 has been in town for several days. He 

 says he has leased a room on Sixty-third 

 street just east of Cottage Grove avenue 

 and that he will open a retail store there. 

 He says he also plans to open a store in 

 Milwaukee. 



Ed Vilter, well known throughout the 

 market before going to Idaho, has re- 

 turned to Chicago and entered the em- 

 ployment of the Chicago Flower Grow- 

 ers' Association. 



H. C. Wendland celebrated "Victory 

 day at Wellington, Kan., where he went 

 last week on business. 



Fred N. Dubois, who, before enlisting 

 in the ordnance department of the reg- 



ular army, was with George Wienhoeber, 

 called on his friends in the market 

 the early part of the week, being home 

 on a furlough from Fort Hancock, Sandy 

 Hook, N. Y. Mr. Dubois, although not 

 having served in France, came home 

 with his left arm almost helpless from 

 shrapnel wounds. He was in Morgan, 

 N. J., at the time of the ten-million-dol- 

 lar munition plant explosion and his 

 arm was injured by a bursting shell. 

 Mr. Dubois is a Spanish-American war 

 veteran and wears the color bars of that 

 war on his coat, as well as a medal for 

 marksmanship. 



August Juergens left for Eidgeland, 

 Miss., November 7, to look after his 

 business interests there. 



Thousands of passers-by. on Randolph 

 street during the Victory celebration 

 November 11, paused and looked up at 

 the stars and stripes that were flying 

 from one of the windows of Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., with a large white peace dove 

 with spread wings mounted on the end 

 of the pole. 



Frank McCabe, traveler for the A. L. 



Randall Co., is in Chicago with the re- 

 port that the florists* business in the 

 south is better now than in many years 

 and backs this up by saying that his 

 last trip was the most successful he ever 

 has made. 



R. J. Mohr has resigned his position 

 with the A. L. Randall Co. He will go 

 into business for himself. 



CINCINNATI. 



The florists' business as well as every 

 other business in this city was at a 

 standstill November 11. Everyone 

 closed up as quickly as possible and all 

 joined in the celebration of the cessa- 

 tion of hostilities. 



The market is fairly well supplied 

 with stock of all kinds. Business con- 

 tinues to be fairly good, although it 

 f^ not so brisk as it was for a time. 

 Shipping business, however, holds up 

 well. 



The rose supply is good and sufficient 

 for immediate requirements. Carnations 

 are more plentiful than for several
