the market in the last few days there 

 may be a pronounced scarcity of first- 

 class shipping stock when the Memorial 

 day orders are being sent out. It is 

 a general experience that the individual 

 orders are larger than last year. It 

 also is apparent that many buyers who 

 placed only one order for Mothers' day 

 are splitting up the Memorial day orders 

 among several houses, all of which will 

 add to the interest taken in the situa- 

 tion. 



Various Notes. 



Adam Taylor, for many years a florist 

 in Englewood, died May 17 at the home 

 of his daughter, 1132 Columbia avenue. 

 The decedent was 80 years of age and 

 resided in Englewood for almost fifty 

 years. He is survived by three sons, 

 Adam, James and John, besides his 

 daughter, Mrs. T. F. Leyden. 



The retailers are making little com- 

 plaint as to business since the end of 

 Lent. For instance, W. J. Smyth says 

 that his sales since Easter have been 

 steadily ahead of those of last year. 

 He notes that the wealthy class of trade 

 is buying with conservatism, but he says 

 that the working people and middle 

 class of well-to-do customers are buying 

 more frequently than ever before. 



W. J. Smart, western representative 

 for the Knight & Struck Co., New York 

 city, has severed his connections with 

 that firm to join the sales force of the 

 Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 



John Kruchten has been confined to 

 hia home with an attack of rheumati'im. 



One house 40x400 will be planted to 

 Mrs. Russell this soason by Meyer & 

 Dramm Co., Elmhurst. Killarney Bril- 

 liant will be dropped to get the space. 

 Russell has not been grown at Elmhurst 

 heretofore. 



In an average season 2,000 tons of 

 l^ocahontas coal is required to heat the 

 200.000 feet of glass Emil Buettner 

 operates at Park Ridge. Last year his 

 contract was at $1.50 per ton at the 

 mines and the contract was fulfilled to 

 tlie letter. Early in the spring Mr. 

 Buettner renewed at from $'.i to $3.50 

 per ton. Tlie advance of from 100 to 

 133 per cent seemed large to him when 

 signing the contract, but it looks quite 



different 

 events. 

 F. M. 



now, in the light of recent 



Van Gieson, sales promotion 

 and landscape architect, sev- 

 ered his connection with the George 

 Wittbold Co., May 22, to assume charge 

 of promotion work in the horticultural 

 department of the H. M. Van Hoesen 

 Co., direct advertising specialists, 5 

 South Wabash avenue. 



Fred Lautensculager, chairman of the 

 Florists' Club's garden movement com- 

 mittee, has been advised that the Gar- 

 den Bureau of Chicago, in aid of which 

 tlie committee was appointed, will dis- 

 continue its work at the end of the 

 present week. He therefore will take 

 no further action except to ask the club 

 to discharge the committee at the June 

 meeting.

My Friend Bill 



Says 



Be a booster 



You can always tell the man by his 

 willingness to pitch in and help play 

 the game. To such helpers, workers 

 and boosters, he says, we owe a debt of 



lasting gratitude 



for they create what all enjoy. 



He Says: 



It would be well for all to profit by 

 their example and learn that it only 

 pay s to give your customers and growers
