an advertising stunt in the nature of the 

 erection of billboards displaying the 

 "Say It with Flowers" slogan. One 

 of these is to be placed on the main 

 traveled highways at or near a grower 's 

 establishment. With the heavy traffic 

 on the streets and these signs greeting 

 people everywhere, we think it will carry 

 tremendous advertising value and yet, 

 unlike regular billboard advertising, 

 will be inexpensive. We believe the 

 idea should be universally adopted. ' * 



Various Notes. 



Klehm's Nursery is said to have an 

 unusually successful crop of peonies this 

 season and has a considerably larger 

 quantity in storage than a year ago. 

 Charles Klehm makes his headquarters 

 with Joseph Foerster Co., during the 

 peony season, and will, as usual, carry 

 his crop along in cold storage through 

 July and perhaps into August. He is 

 one of the few who find it pays to hold 

 peonies after July 4. 



Paul Klingsporn went to Philadel- 

 phia, his old home, last week, for a 

 fortnight's vacation. , 



C. Hausermann, Jr., of Melrose Park, 

 will 'sell his range of 30,000 feet of 

 glass to secure freedom to look after 

 western land interests which are of 

 greater importance. 



Joseph Marks, of the Henderson trav- 

 eling staff, has gone to Fond du Lac to 

 attend the meeting of the Wisconsin 

 State Florists' Association June 27. 



The American Bulb Co. reports the ar- 

 rival last week of the first of the 1918 

 crop of bulbs — California freesias. 



There was a celebration at the E. F. 

 Winterson homestead at Highland Park 

 last Saturday, E. F. Winterson having 

 been 50 years of age June 21. 



A. Lange opened his new store at 77 

 and 79 East Madison street in the later 

 days last week. He has a double front- 

 age and much better quarters than in 

 the former location. Another advan- 

 tage will be proximity to the Michigan 

 boulevard promenade. For the opening 

 days Mr. Lange advertised bedding 

 plant souvenirs for those of liis custom- 

 ers who wished them. 



W. J. Smyth and family opened their 

 summer home at Antioch June 21, but 

 Mr. Smyth will not take up his resi-

Each individual coniicnor's rishts are respected, and wVVuc-

 inferior grades.

Growers with ui soon appreciate what their atock sells for in

 is only a part of our "NEW SERVICE" which no other house

 Heaton Nichols says that florists have

 once common variety seen nowadays.
