of kentiaa shipped east from Bassett & 

 Washburn's California establishment. 

 He said he received exactly the same 

 form of approval on each car, one from 

 Eiverton, N. J., the other from Morton 

 Grove, 111. In each case it was a cheek 

 discounting the bill and an order to ship 

 another car as soon as possible. Bassett 

 & Washburn do not intend at present 

 to sell in other than carload lots, leav- 

 ing distribution to the jobbers. 



W. A. Hansen, assistant to C. J. 

 Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co., and 

 Miss Pedersen, head bookkeeper for the 

 Joseph Foerster Co., were quietly mar- 

 ried July 3 and are away on their honey- 

 moon. They have many friends who 

 will offer congratulations on their re- 

 turn. 



John Poehlmann leaves July 9 to 

 spend a fortnight with friends at Nan- 

 tucket. It will be his first vacation on 

 the Atlantic seaboard. 



A runaway automobile July 3 at- 

 tempted to enter the stores of the Chi-

 created considerable diversion on an 

 otherwise lifeless afternoon. 



Trade visitors at Eavinia park ap- 

 prove Fritz Bahr's plantings there, 

 mostly petunias, geraniums and cannas, 

 noting with special interest a bed of 

 tuberous-rooted begonias in a shady 

 spot near the main entrance. 



A. J. Zech thinks it a great misfor- 

 tune that the price of lilies has not been 

 maintained. He believes price cutting 

 now will result in driving many growers 

 out of lily forcing, to the disadvantage 

 "of all branches of the trade. 



Eric Johnson is well pleased with the 

 Dunlop rose. Not only does it appeal 

 to his personal tastes, but, better yet, 

 the buyers take to it so well that the 

 limited daily receipts are cleaned up on 

 Bight. 



Many of the wholesalers and retailers 

 decorated for the Fourth and for the 

 Elks, but none hung out so much bunt-
