 says he never before has had in hand 

 so many inquiries for estimates. 



President Peter Reinberg, of the 

 Cook County Forest Preserve, and Ran- 

 som Kennicott, his appointee as chief 

 forester, have taken up the idea of plant- 

 ing memorial trees for the men who did 

 not come back from France. The idea 

 of the memorial trees carries with it a 

 plan to label each one with the name 

 of a soldier or sailor and the sites are 

 to be selected by the families or friends 

 of the departed hero. 



One day this week Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. gave between 12,000 and 15,000 roses 

 to Marshall Field & Co. for display in 

 the tea rooms, but Poehlmann is not 

 selling to department stores or peddlers 

 in the street, even in face of the enor- 

 mous quantity of stock which is com- 

 ing in daily, the object being to keep 

 the flower business on the highest plane. 

 It is John Poehlmann 's belief that flow- 

 er* which are sold by department stores 

 and peddlers at low prices cause the 

 public to become misled as regards the 

 true value of flowers. The retailer, and 

 the retailer only, he thinks, should use 

 these flowers to advertise his business and 

 when flowers are plentiful the retailer can 

 buy in quantity, stock that can be used 

 to this advantagi. at reduced prices.

A new store was opened May 8, at 

 2810 North Clark street, known as the 

 Armstrong Shop of Flowers. Edward 

 Armstrong had a large banner announc- 

 ing the opening and on it in large let- 

 tering was, "Say It with Flowers." 

 He also sent cards through the neigh- 



borhood offering wreaths and peonies 

 for Memorial day. There was a fine 

 business, considering that there are two 

 other stores within a block, which are 

 old ones in the district and which each 

 also had a large trade.
