its deep wooded ravines, its high bluffs 

 overlookihg the Des Plaines river valley, 

 and its great stretches of green prairie, 

 the Pales district offers a nucleus, in 

 the opinion of the board, from which 

 may be made a scenic marvel. Even- 

 tually, greenhouses will be built to grow 

 stock which otherwise could not exist 

 in this climate. The plans of the com- 

 mission also call for the ultimate erec- 

 tion there of a museum and a library. 



Various Notes. 



According to the E. Wienhoeber Co., 

 which, with its many years in the heart 

 of the wealthy north side residence sec- 

 tion, deserves to be called the society 

 florist, wedding work in June was heav- 

 ier than for many years. June 25 there 

 were two large church , weddings, St. 

 Paul's being decorated for the Alpers- 

 Haake wedding and the Fourth Presby- 

 terian for the PuUman-McIlvaine cere- 

 mony. In each case the bride 's residence 

 also was decorated and for the former 

 wedding the bouquets were furnished. 

 William Wienhoeber and wife are in 

 Colorado for a month 's vacation. 



One of the serviceable native plants, 

 the flowers of which are being used by 

 the retailers who like to add variety to 

 their work, is Calopogon pulchellus. It 

 belongs to the orchid family, the flowers 

 being magenta-crimson to white. The 

 flowers seen in the stores here are from 

 plants gathered and grown near the lake 

 in Indiana. Charles Erne says the lim- 

 i,ted supply has sold on sight. 



The A. L. Bandall Co., acceding to 

 Eric Johnson's request for more room 

 for his department before next season, 

 has enlarged the space devoted to cut 

 flowers until it now occupies all the

south half of the second floor of the 

 Lemoyne block. Mr. Johnson's office is 

 in the southeast windows. 



It seems to have escaped record that 

 William J. Smyth has become a member 

 of the proud order of grandfathers. At 

 the home of his daughter a little one was 

 welcomed a few weeks ago. 



The annual reappearance of George 

 Schwing's colored water lilies, at the 

 store of the E. C. Amling Co., sends 

 numerous lovers of the flower to the 

 grower's ponds, at 5660 South Eockwell 

 street, where there is the largest collec- 

 tion of modern nymphseas to be seen 

 in this part of the country. 



Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Reburn have gone 

 east on a three weeks' vacation. They 

 will visit Washington, Philadelphia, 

 New York, Boston and Atlantic City, 

 combining business with pleasure. 



Commenting on his recent trip east, 

 T. E. Waters says that in Boston, his 

 honie town, business was excellent; he 

 saw valley sold at $30 per hundred! 



Everything looks fine in New York for 

 the Detroit convention and New York 

 will send a large representation. Mr. 

 Waters says merchandise is as plentiful 

 in Chicago as it is in the east. 



The bill concerning the forest pre- 

 serve district, that gives to President 

 Reinberg equal authority with the 

 county commissioners in sales of real. 

 estate, was signed by the governor last 

 week. 



The American Bulb Co., commenting 

 on a more than usually active summer 

 season, says there is a large sale for 

 Freesia Purity, the bulbs of which be- 

 gan to arrive last month. It is explained^ 

 that this is one variety of bulb which is 

 normal in supply and price. 



Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst,, 

 had its replanting finished before Me- 

 morial day and in June cut a crop f romi 

 the earliest house. 



The National Plant & Flower Co., 

 1249 West Sixty-first street, has changedl 

 its name to the New City Floral Co.
