uelson as a boy in 1887. His term of 

 continuous service probably exceeds 

 that of any other florist 's employee in 

 Chicago and his wide circle of friends 

 in the trade will be pleased to learn 

 of this realization of his ambition. 



Various Notes. 



The Clear Water Ornamental Nurs- 

 ery Co., of Clear Water, Fla., has been 

 incorporated, with $50,000 authorized 

 capital stock. The officers are: Presi- 

 dent, H. B. Kennicott; vice-president, 

 J. W. McNeely; secretary and treas- 

 urer, Angus Kennicott. 



Arthur M. Anderson returned May 3 

 from a three months' trip in Europe 

 for the A. L. Bandall Co. He visited 

 England, Holland, France, Germany 

 and Italy. He says the conditions he 

 found there made him extremely glad 

 to be home again. 



J. L. Raske says that unless a florist 

 has a volume of business far larger than 

 the average, 100 per cent added to the 

 cost prices will not now net the retailer 

 ten per cent. Overhead expense has 

 mounted rapidly the last two years. 



The well known Poehlmann residence 

 on Beacon street has been sold. John 

 Poehlmann has taken up his residence 

 in bachelor quarters on Eastwood 

 avenue. 



Joseph Kohout, president of the 

 Growers' Association, was in from 

 Libertyville May 3 to investigate the 

 fuel situation. He called on numerous 

 dealers in southern Illinois and Indiana 

 coals with whom he has had dealings 

 and reports that not one of them would 

 quote a price, either for summer or 

 next winter's deliveries. They told 

 him it would be a matter of another 

 month or so before anyone in the coal 

 business will know what the market is 

 going to do. 



Eric Johnson was at Memphis last 

 week, the guest of his friend W. H. 

 Englehart, of the Idlewild Oreenhonses. 

 Peter Reinberg, as president of the 

 Forest Preserve, plans to plant a big 

 arboretum which shall rival the famous 

 Arnold Arboretum at Harvard Univer- 

 sity. 



The old W. L. Palinsky place is to 



be dismantled. 



The notices for the May 6 meeting of 

 the Florists' Club were decorated — yes.

Buy from the grower, who h^s large acreage, 

 modern facilities for pre-cooling, which insures 

 delivery in FIRST-CLASS condition. 



We have grown to be large shippers, because 

 of QUALITY STOCK and attractive prices.
