A. T. Pyfer, who is secretary for the 

 Florists' Club and also for its bowling 

 team, gives notice for everyone inter- 

 ested in the sport to be at Bensinger's 

 alleys June 24 at 8 p. m. Out of the 

 practice of the next eight weeks the 

 five high men will get places on the 

 team which will represent the club at 

 the S. A. F. convention at Detroit in 

 August. 



The range being erected by the Ameri- 

 can Greenhouse Mfg. Co., for Weiss & 

 Spantikow Co., is nearing completion 

 and the planting has begun in some of 

 the houses. 



Ed Palmen, retail florist at 3435 West 

 Chicago avenue, is going out of business 

 soon, as it is too hard to get help and 

 he is getting too old to attend to the 

 business alone. 



Paul Weiss, of Weiss & Meyer Co., 

 Maywood, is preparing to lay in next 

 season's coal supply. He is figuring 

 there will be an increase in freight 

 rates, together with a scarcity of labor. 

 This concern is not out of coal, as it 

 still has ten carloads which have not 

 been touched as yet. Mr. Weiss figures 

 that it is better to be forehanded than 

 sorry and, as he also is secretary of a 

 coal company, the Fort Dearborn, he 

 may be presumed to know conditions 

 and many growers will follow his lead. 



F. V. Young, who has boon manager 

 of the W. L. Schofiold establishment, at 

 738 North State street, since he returned 

 from the army shortly after Christmas, 

 recently shipj)C(l for a customer an ar- 

 tificial wreath to a family in County 

 Cork, Ireland. 



E. F. Winterson Co. has boon doing a 

 rushing business in huckleberry for 

 June weddings. 



Henry Arnold's father died June 15 

 at the Alexian Brothers hospital and 

 was buried June 18. He had boon ill 

 for some time. Mr. Arnohl has the 

 sympathy of the trade. He is with 

 Tonner Wholesale Florists. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. gave from 6,000 

 to 8,000 flowers to the hospitals of the 

 city last week. 



J. P. Banasik, retail florist on West 

 Chicago avenue, says the selling of 

 flowers to department stores is certain-

REFORM 



What three years ago was thought to be "RADICAL THEORY" 



in tbe maa^t^smeai of ihe Wuoles^kte Cut Fljwer Commission 



Business is now what inteliiKent groweru are looking for. 



The Many Surprises. Many Changes in thid Market in these 



three years have benefited the Growers. 



The reform really began with the introduction of the Growers' 



Petition of 1916. 



No "Sales Report" can be right with tbe grower until every 



detail is giv n of the Real Market Conditions in the Sales 



Value of every flower. 



When all growe s insist on & complete record of their "Sales 

 Report " thus begins the "First Step" for Higher Prices and 

 Greater Profits. 



Our "NEW SKRVICE" <s most complete on this subject, with 

 less clerical wurk and least cost to us. 



It gives to the Grower what he ought to know abjut this mar- 

 ket and to ua the gre.itest amount of satis action.
