Various Notes. 



Walter and Herbert Amling have 

 contracted, with the American Green- 

 house Mfg. Co., for the erection of three 

 steel frame greenhouses each 36x300 at 

 Pana, 111., in consummation of the deal 

 described in The Review last week. 



Arthur M. Anderson, of the A. L. 

 Randall Co., who recently made a three 

 months' trip to Europe in quest of mer- 

 chandise, says lie has been greatly im- 

 pressed with the difference in the point 

 of view of retail florists and other mer- 

 chants. He says it is the characteristic 

 attitude of florists to want to buy as 

 little as possible, just enough to get 

 along. On the other hand, wherever he 

 ijoes to buy goods for Randall, there he 

 finds representatives of department 

 stores and other large establishments, 

 hunting things (they can buy and sell. 

 These men are\eager to buy: nothing 



pleases them so much as to find goods 

 they can stock up on and push. Mr. 

 Anderson thinks the same policy, pur- 

 sued with discretion, would profit all re- 

 tail florists. 



Philip M. Broadbeck, one of the old- 

 est of the rose growers for the Chicago 

 market, has decided to put his place at 

 Evanston on the market with a view to 

 retiring. There are 40,000 feet of glass 

 in Riclimond, Killarney and White Kil- 

 larney. Located on the boundary line 

 between Chicago and Evanston, the 

 property is becoming more valuable 

 every year, but Mr. Broadbeck says he 

 will be satisfied to clean up and quit 

 now, even with another big season in 

 sight. 



Paul Klingsporn reports the follow- 

 ing new life members of the S. A. F.: 

 Joseph Foerster, Philip C. Schupp, H. B. 

 Kennicott, Albert Koehler, Edwin Clody 

 and Samuel Seligman. New annual 

 members are A. S. Brunton and John M. 

 Elzinqua. 



One of those interested in the subject 

 has compiled a Ijst of seventy-seven 

 Chicagoans who will be at Detroit next 

 week, a large number of them armed 

 with order books. 



The A. L. Randall Co. reports that on 

 the payroll of its factories, sales staff 

 and office force there was a total of 377 

 names last week. 



The American Bulb Co. expects to re- 

 ceive a car of Formosa lily bulbs by the 

 time this issue of The Review is out. A 

 car of Paper Whites left New York 

 August 6. 



Edward Galavan and his co-workers at 

 Randall's who are members of the Hli- 

 nois Reserve Militia, returned to busi- 

 ness August 11, after spending two 

 weeks on guard duty in the stock yards 

 race riot district. 



C. S. Claussen has returned from a 

 fortnight's trip east, to Washington, 

 New York and out on Long Island, the 

 Oldsmobile covering a little over 2,000
