of credit for their cooperation. Needless 

 to say, George Asmus, of Schiller the 

 Florist, chairman of the coinniittee, and 

 W. J. Smyth, treasurer, gave this 

 project much time and the benefit of 

 their experience.

Wienhoeber on Michigan Avenue. 



George V. Wienhoeber has closed a 

 deal which will give Michigan avenue 

 a new flower store and Chicago one of 

 the most distinctive establishments of 

 the kind in America. 



Just south of the Peoples Trust & Sav 

 ings Bank building there is at present a 

 private alley, almost unused, running 

 west no feet to the alley between 

 Wabash and Michigan. Mr. Wien- 

 hoeber has secured a lease of this va- 

 cant space for a term of years and will 

 at once erect thereon a building 10x110, 

 basement and a high-ceilinged store. 

 The plans are being drawn by Jarvis 

 Hunt, an architect of international repu- 

 tation, and something quite out of the 

 ordinary will result. The high front, 

 except for the trim of white marble, will 

 be of curved plate glass and the window 

 will occupj' the entire frontage, entrance 

 being had through the vestibule of the 

 bank building next door. The salesroom 

 will occupy the front fifty feet and the 

 intention is to make it as rich and ar- 

 tistic as any of the fine specialty shops 

 for which Michigan avenue is famous. 

 Back of the salesroom there will be a 

 workroom 10x60, with egress on the 

 alley in the rear, where there is space 

 for automobiles. The basement, 10x110, 

 will contain an ice machine and storage 

 rooms. It is the intention to build 

 rapidly, though well, and to have the 

 new store ready for occupancy before 

 Christmas. 



Mr. Wienhoeber will continue the jtres- 

 ent L-shaped store at Wabash avenue 

 and Monroe street. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. C. A. Samuelson joined her hus- 

 band on their Idaho ranch after the 

 spring rush in the flower store was over, 

 expecting they would return together in 

 September, but exigencies of the harvest 

 have caused Mr. Samuelson to postpone 

 his autumn visit at least until November 

 and Mrs. Samuelson will stay with him 

 in the west. Life in the open is luxury 

 to them, after their years of activity on 

 .Michigan avenue. 



C. J. Michelsen says more tickets than 

 last year are being written by the K. ('.. 

 Amling Co., apd that sales so far in Seji 

 tember are .slightly ahead of a year jigo,

.•ilthough the average size of the sales 

 has been smaller. In the quantity of 

 stock being moved Mr. Michelsen sees 

 evidence that the demand for flowers 

 continues to increase in spite of unem- 

 ployment, lower wages, reduced profits 

 and all other liepressing influences. 



If anyone asks you who has the largest 

 collection of peonies in America you can 

 say that it probably is Congressman 

 •lames R. Mann, who has between 1,200 

 and 1,500 varieties in his garden on 

 Seventy-third street. Mr. Mann at any
