at Culver Military Academy June 9 and 

 10. E. C. Amling and C. J. Michelsen 

 drove down in Mr. Amling 's Packard 

 June 8 and their wives followed by 

 train a day later, to participate in the 

 commencement. Young Mr. Amling will 

 go to an army officers' training camp 

 after a few days at home. 



The Misses Keenan, on Sixty-third 

 street, created a wave of comment one 

 day last week by giving a flower free 

 to every visitor. When the word went 

 out a queue of "flower lovers" soon 

 formed at the door like what we see at 

 the movie theaters. 



A. L. Bandall and Eric Johnson, with 

 their wives, drove to Benton Harbor, 

 Mich., June 8 in Mr. Bandall 's Cadillac. 

 Mr. Bandall is selling his farm there. 

 Mr. Johnson has sold his Overland and 

 gets delivery of a 7-passenger Buick 

 this week. 



The joint publicity committees of the 

 retailers' and wholesalers' associations 

 are using attractive cards in about 750 

 elevated-railway cars. This month's 

 card shows a June bride and her flowers. 

 Copies of it also are in the windows of 

 most of the stores. 



Walter Betzer, formerly of Chicago, 

 now is conducting the Washington Gar- 

 dens at Houston, Tex., and is shipping 

 gladiolus blooms north. 



The George Wittbold Co. was the low- 

 est bidder on the decorations, church 

 and home, for the wedding last week of 

 the daughter of John B. Thompson. 



The establishment of the late Elmer 

 Sigwalt, at Arlington Heights, is being 

 run by his widow under the name of the 

 Elk Grove Floral Co. 



June 8 J. Wall said he had not then 

 begun his local retail deliveries and 

 planting orders, his energies for the pre- 

 ceding month having been wholly occu- 

 pied with wholesale orders. His stock 

 is well cleaned up; he says he could sell 

 the place out over again if he had it 

 full of geraniums in bloom. 



It may help a little to know that the 

 E. C. Amling Co., in spite of the bottom- 

 less market last week, reports sales 

 averaging nearly $1,000 per day more 

 trhan for the same days in June last 

 year, when. business was not considered 

 bad, either. 



FOR COMMEBCIAL GROWERS 



OF 



CUT FLOWERS 



Adv. No. 1. 

 Watch for»No. 2. 



To give all the growers an intelligent ide& of how we are 

 trying to improve their relation with a Wholesale Cut 

 Flower Commisaion House, we use this means of placing 

 before them an outline of our work and the value of the 

 NEW SERVICE we render. Our proposition, we believe, 

 when properly understood and put to work is one for every 

 grower to give serious consideration.

has opened its offices on the eighth floor 

 of the new State and Lake building, at 

 190 North State street. 



T. E. Waters left June 8 for the east, 

 on a business trip. 



A well selected combination for a 

 store is that of the Smith Posy Shop, 

 at 5311 North Clark street. The com- 

 bination is that of millinery and flowers.
