says business all season has been big 

 and that the high prices preceding the 

 holidays had no effect on buyers. "Peo- 

 ple want flowers and they buy them re- 

 gardless of price," remarked Mr. 

 Fischer, 



That high-class service is a great as- 

 set to the retail florist is demonstrated 

 in the business of Charles H. Fisk, Inc., 

 1581 Ogden avenue. Mr. Fisk has been 

 at the Ogden avenue address for more 

 than fifteen years. Customers who for- 

 merly lived in the neighborhood, have 

 moved to all parts of Chicago. How- 

 ever, they continue to buy at the Fisk 

 store and keep three auto trucks busy 

 delivering orders. "We could not do 

 business without auto trucks," Mr. Fisk 

 says. "They cost less than horses to 

 maintain and the latter could not cover 

 the wide territory into which our busi- 

 ness reaches." 



Andrew Chronis, of the Alpha Floral 

 Co., Adams street and Wabash avenue, 

 declares that every day is a bigger sell- 

 ing day than a year ago. Both Mothers' 

 day and Memorial day showed increases 

 "and every day in between and after," 

 added Mr. Chronis. 



Schiller the Florist, at 4509 Broad- 

 way, is going after the bedding plant 

 business. He has a large sign on the 

 greenhouse adjoining his retail store 

 telling people to "plant now," with 

 suggestions for window-boxes and beds. 



The Winterson family circle was 

 broken, June 1, by the death of Thomas

by a train. Besides his parents, he left 

 five sisters and three brothers, one of 

 the latter being Edgar F. Winterson. 

 The funeral was held June 3, with inter- 

 ment at Forest Home. 



Mrs. Edward B. Schoeneberger, 

 daughter of Jacob Meyer, of Morton 

 Grove, died at St. Francis hospital, 

 Evanston, May 26, after an illness of 

 ten weeks. Her husband, Edward B., 

 a daughter and a son, Elizabeth and 

 Edward, Jr., survive. 



Many growers who have bought their 

 coal from C. M. Moderwell will be in- 

 terested in the announcement that he 

 lias sold all his large holdings and will 

 devote his time to the affairs of the 

 national commission for the control of 

 fuel supplies during the war. It may 

 some (lay be a good thing to have an old 

 friend on the commission. 



Developments at Forest Glen are in- 

 dicated by the announcement that the 

 Brant & Noe Floral Co., of which D. 

 Wood Brant is the active manager, has 

 increased its capital stock from $100,000 

 to $150,000.

 three sorts. These are Eussell, Ophelia 

 and Sunburst. There still are a few 

 Killarney on the place, but as the plants 

 reach superannuation they are thrown

 rieties gets the space.
