 Various Notes. 



The death of John Welter, son of N. 

 K. Welter, and associated with him in 

 the greenhouse business at Evanston, is 

 recorded in this week 's obituary column. 



It will be good news to E. C. Am- 

 ling's many old friends in the market 

 that H. B. Amling has sent word that 

 his father's health recently has been 

 greatly improved under the stimulus of 

 the California climate and new business 

 interests. The Amlings, father and 

 son, are about to open a wholesale house 

 at 440 Wall street, in Los Angeles. 



The Florists* Club's announcement 

 of the opening of the new season carried 

 a portrait of Guy W. French, chairman 

 of the good-of-the-club committee. As 

 there now are separate organizations to 

 look after the business interests of grow- 

 ers, retailers and wholesalers, and the 

 Allied Trades' Association to work for 

 all, the Florists' Club is left only with 

 the social side to cultivate. With 

 Messrs. Waters, Lautenschlager and 

 French in charge, an active season is 

 assured. 



Benton place is a busy business thor- 

 oughfare, albeit most florists call it 

 " Amling 's alley," because it runs 

 parallel to and adjoining the store of 

 the E. C. Amling Co., on whose building 

 there is a large blank space occupied 

 since last week by one of the famous 

 500 S. A. F. billboards telling all who 

 pass to "Say It with Flowers." Sec- 

 retary Toung, in New York, has be- 

 tween 300 and 400 more for sale at $50 

 each for those who would like to do 

 likewise. 



C. L. Washburn and Mrs. Washburn 

 were called to California unexpectedly 

 because of the illness of O. P. Bassett, 

 now in his eighty-seventh year. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Washburn left on the evening 

 of October 6. 



B. Scheffler, at Wheaton, expects to 

 cut between 5,000 and 6,000 chrysanthe- 

 mums next week. 



A. Miller, of the A. B. C, has returned 

 from a business trip to New York. The 

 company has three cars of giganteums 

 rolling between Seattle and Chicago. 



Joseph Foerster points with pride to 

 some Golden Queen chrysanthemums 

 grown by Hans Yepsen at Maywood. 



August Poehlmann comes to town 

 every afternoon for the massage of the
