Guf.taf Bloom, 11936 Eggleston avenue, 

 and Anthony Batck, Shermerville, both 

 growers. 



When the business matters had been 

 completed, dancing commenced, to fill 

 the time until 9:30, by which hour those 

 whom Mothers' day orders had kept 

 busy at the wholesale houses were pres- 

 ent to witness a performance of "The 

 Florists' Shop," a one-act play, acted 

 by students from the University of Illi- 

 nois. 



This clever bit of comedy, written in 

 Professor Baker's playwright class at 

 Harvard, has won the notice of the trade 

 in a number of places. Its performance 

 at Urbana, by the same cast that pre- 

 sented it May 5, at the meeting of the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association, was 

 80 enjoyed that the officers of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club immediately made 

 '■ arrangements for its repetition before 

 the Chicago trade. 



The cast was composed entirely of 

 students in floriculture at the university. 

 The parts are five. Maude, the clever 

 and diplomatic salesgirl in the florists' 

 shop, promotes a romance between Miss 

 Wells, "a timid spinster," and Mr. 

 Jackson, "a conceited bachelor," with 

 the alternate aid and opposition of 

 Henry, a typical errand boy, and Mr. 

 Slovsky, an irritable Jew, the proprie- 

 tor of the shop. The performance won 

 much praise from the florists. 



The setting of the play at the Hotel 

 Randolph was a complete retail flower 

 store with the most modern equipment, 

 furnished by the A. L. Randall Co. 



After the play, dancing was resumed, 

 to the expert strains of Mowshine's 

 ■ crohestra. 



The committee on arrangements, re- 

 sponsible for the excellent evening's en- 

 tertainment, was composed of T. E. 

 Waters, chairman; Paul E. Weiss, Wil- 

 liam Wienhoeber, J. E. Pollworth, 

 Charles Erne, Paul R. Klingsporn, Ed. 

 Goldenstein and E. A. Ollinger.

At St. "Valentine's day, Max Cohen, 

 who operates the Jackson Floral Shop, 

 doing a neighborhood trade near the 

 corner of Sixty-third street and Cot- 

 tage Grove avenue, on the far south 

 side of the city, took twenty-four 

 orders for out-of-town delivery — but

he did not receive any orders from out- 

 of-town for Chicago delivery. As Mr. 

 Cohen transferred each of his outgoing 

 orders to one or another of the adver- 



tisers in the Pink Part of The Review, 

 it was a natural conclusion that there 

 was where he should put his card to let 

 the trade know of his facilities for
