dise. The wholesale florist can say the 

 same; if a profit of three and one-half 

 per cent is typical, it has no effect on 

 the retail price of flowers. 



Sunday Closing. 



William Wienhoeber has taken up the 

 matter of Sunday closing, with a view 

 to retaining during the winter the bene- 

 ■ fits the retailers have had from a 

 weekly day of rest during summer. Ee- 

 plying to his inquiry, the following re- 

 tailers have stated they will not open 

 on the Sabbath this season: 



Walter Adams, Bohannon Floral Co., 

 Fleischman Floral Co., George Wien- 

 hoeber, E. Wienhoeber Co. 



Both Mr. Wienhoeber and The He- 

 view will be glad to hear from and 

 record other retailers who do not open 

 their stores on Sunday. 



Of course, the Sunday closing is not 

 expected to apply to the weeks in which 

 the special flower days come. 



Various Notes. 



John Poehlmann, of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., was taken to Grant hospital, Oc- 

 tober 16, and operated on for appendi- 

 citis. The patient is getting along 

 nicely and expects to be back on the 

 job in about two weeks. 



A noticeable increase in the social 

 demand was reported last week by the 

 E. Wienhoeber Co. A brisk season is 

 anticipated, with many more social af- 

 fairs than for the last three years call- 

 ing for flowers. In the immediate 

 neighborhood of the store eleven fami- 

 lies already have announced for their 

 daughters' coming-out parties during 

 November. 



Announcement is made of the ap- 



Sroaching marriage «£ Miss Marguerite 

 [ane McNulty, daughter of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Daniel H. McNulty, of Rogers 

 Park, to Clarence Ellsworth, which will 

 take place October 29 at the home of 

 the bride's pare^its. Miss McNulty has 

 been one of Peter Reinberg's chief re- 

 liances in the management of his large 

 business and she has made many warm 

 friends in the trade who will be pleased 

 to know she is to become a florist's wife. 



Emil Buettner says his coal this sea- 

 son has cost him $6.50 per ton in the 

 shed, as against $4 in ante-bellum days. 

 The increase in labor is a still higher 

 percentage and Mr. Buettner says the 

 present price of roses is not in line. 



All the bulb dealers are rushed to 

 the limit. In addition to Dutch stock, 

 giganteums arrived last week and are 

 being shipped rapidly.

 increasing its retail flower store enter-
