pies the front with a retail flower store 

 on a month to month lease. He also is 

 looking for a new stand. 



Various Notes. 



The ashes of the late Orland P. Bas- 

 sett, founder of the firm of Bassett & 

 Washburn, arrived at his former home 

 at Hinsdale June 8. There was a sim- 

 ple burial service at Bornswood ceme- 

 tery, in Hinsdale, on the afternoon of 

 June 10, those present being the mem- 

 bers of the family and the business 

 associates of earlier days. Mr. Bassett 

 died in Pasadena February 26, at the 

 age of 86. The remains were cremated 

 and brought to Chicago in a sealed cop- 

 per case, which was deposited in a con- 

 crete base on the family lot at Borns- 

 wood, where it should endure to the end 

 of time. 



S. Y. Bloom has renewed for ten 

 years his lease at 822 East Sixty-third 

 street, in the heart of the Rialto of the 

 south side. He will proceed at once to 

 fix up the place, with a new tile floor 

 and a complete outfit of new fixtures, 

 to be built and installed by the A. L. 

 Bandall Co. ■ 



Mike Becker and John Menges, well 

 known greenhouse glaziers, have joined 

 the Master Mfg. Co., where they have 

 charge of the contract glazing work. 



Albert Hall formally opened his new 

 store in the Sheridan-Plaza, on Sheri- 

 dan road, June 11. He has a handsome 

 store and facilities for a large business. 

 In addition to the display refrigerator 

 in the store he has a large storage box 

 in the workroom in the basement, both 

 boxes cooled by the hotel's refrigera- 

 tion system. 



Gladiolus bulbs are well cleaned up' 

 in Chicago. The larger dealers are sold 

 out and still are receiving inquiries for 

 stock they can not supply. 



Allan Humason started June 13 on 

 a trip through the northwest. He will 

 be at Fargo, N. D., late in June for the 

 Tri-State Florists' convention. 



A. J. Zech spent the week end, June 

 11 to 14, on a fishing trip to Lake Dela- 

 van, in "Wisconsin. 



Edward Galavan returned June 13, 

 after spending three weeks in New 

 York for the A. L. Randall Co. 



One of the best orders of the com- 

 mencement season was received by John 

 Mangel, for seventy-five corsages June 

 13 for festivities at the Northwestern 

 Military Academy. 



A shipment of boxwoods from Roy F. 

 Wilcox & Co., Montebello, Cal., was re- 

 ceived by A. Lange last week. They 

 arrived in splendid condition. 



A wedding procession of tiny dolls 

 fittingly attired, by modiste, haber- 

 dasher and florist, fills one window of 

 the store of Lewis & Rocca, at 55 East 

 Jackson boulevard. Mr. Rocca believes 

 the many passers who stop to examine 

 the display will buy flowers, either 

 bridal or otherwise. 



Paul Weiss recently added a Ford 

 sedan to his garage. He finds the small 

 closed car extremely useful in running 

 from one to another of his greenhouse 

 interests in all kinds of weather. The 

 greenhouse establishments under his 

 management will use about 15,000 tons 

 of coal next season, but Mr. Weiss has 

 not yet contracted for it. Of course he 

 keeps his sheds full at all times and 

 thus far the spot market has been below 

 any contract price that is offered for 

 the season's supply.
