from here to Detroit for the S. A. F. 

 convention. While in Chicago Mr. Oel- 

 schig consulted with greenhouse build- 

 ers with regard to the plans for new 

 houses the firm has under consideration. 



Among last week 's visitors was George 

 Rye, who likes to be known as "Some 

 Florist." His home is at Fort Smith, 

 Ark. He was on the way to New Haven, 

 Conn., to attend a convention of Elks, 

 intending to return in time to spend Au- 

 gust 21 at the S. A. F. convention. 



W. C. Johnson, 



Green- 



houses, Memphis, Tenn., was here this 

 week on his way to the S. A. F. conven- 

 tion. He says he is doing the largest 

 summer business on record, principally 

 with home-grown outdoor stock, his pur- 

 chases in this market in July having 

 amounted to only $58. How insignifi- 

 cant this sum is may be better realized 

 by quoting Mr. Johnson's further re- 

 mark that he paid $1,500 express charges 

 on flowers from Chicago last season. 



B. Juerjens, landscape gardener and 

 florist, of Peoria, 111., was in town last 

 week for a couple of days. 



C. E. Schacfer, who has charge of the 

 florists' department of the Salzer Seed 

 Co., La Crosse, Wis., spent August 18 

 here, on his way to the convention. 



Sichmond, Ind. — Edward A. Neuman, 

 who for the last five years operated 

 with Herman C. Thomas under the name 

 of Neuman & Thomas, has bought Mr. 

 Thomas' interest. The change in owner- 

 ship went into effect July 1. Mr. Neu- 

 man will specialize in roses, particularly 

 Ophelia and Columbia. He contem- 

 plates enlarging the range next year.
