some good customers. He is there this 

 week to attend the meeting of the Ten- 

 nessee State Florists' Association. 



The Chicago Flower (Jrowers' Associ- 

 ation obtained the use of its new space 

 November 15, adding 3,500 square feet 

 to the facilities of the shipping depart- 

 ment. 



Andrew Benson has returned from his 

 trip east, more than ever satisfied to re- 

 sume rose growing here. 



Edward Goldstein will celebrate his 

 thirty-fourth birthday anniversary No- 

 vember 19. 



Checking up the records, P. C. Schupp, 

 of the J. A. Budlong Co., says he finds 

 prices now are running about twenty- 

 five per cent below the values of the 

 same goods last year. From this he 

 deduces that the florists' business is in 

 about the same condition, as far as 

 prices go, as other industries. He 

 thinks the difference is due to increased 

 production rather than a decrease in the 

 demand, because he finds his own sales 

 running to a little higher total, day by 

 day, than they did a year ago, which 

 indicates handling considerably more 

 stock. 



A. Miller was at the Twin Cities last 

 week on a hunting expedition — with a 

 gun, not an order-book. He is at Mem- 

 phis this week, having a place on the 

 program of the Tennessee State Florists' 

 Association. 



Most of the local growers now use 

 Illinois coal, but Wietor Bros, have 

 stuck to Pocahontas, having found that 

 while it costs more, it still is cheapest 

 in the long run. In the good old days of 

 peace and plenty mine run Pocahontas 

 cost 90 cents a ton at the mines and $3 

 per ton on track at Eogers Park. Today 

 it costs $4.90 at the mines and $8.55 at 

 Rogers Park. When one considers that 

 Wietor Bros, need 5,000 tons for an 

 average winter, the magnitude of the 

 large growers' fuel problem can be ap- 

 preciated. 



Chicago friends of William Werstler, 

 formerly with Schiller the Florist, now 

 store manager for Thomas Franks & Son, 

 of Cliampaign, will bo interested to 

 learn that he was married in that city 

 November 10, his bride being Miss 

 Edna Stipes. Mr. and Mrs. Werstler are 

 on an extended honeymoon east and 

 south. 



Johnson & Jensen are located in that 

 rapidly growing residence district 

 known as Jackson Park Highlands. 

 Their store, at 1924 East Seventy-first 

 street, is in a neighborhood of homes of 

 pro.sperous people and G. K. Johnson, the 

 manager, looks forward to a rapid devel-
