Frank Schramm, "William Spandikow, 

 Fred Stielow and Rudolph Ellsworth 

 spent April 3 at Eichmond, Ind., look- 

 ing over the famous places there. 



At Crystal Lake Frank Schramm is 

 installing a coal conveyor capable of 

 unloading a car in less than an hour. 

 The concrete work has been finished 

 and the arrival of the machine itself is 

 awaited. When the installation is com- 

 plete an invitation will be issued to 

 growers to witness a demonstration. 

 Mr. Schramm, who now has 65,000 feet 

 of glass, believes every range of fair 

 size will find it desirable soon to put in 

 equipment of this character. 



W. C. Egan, of Highland Park, well 

 known to the older generation of flo- 

 rists, celebrated his eightieth birthday 

 anniversary April 1. Some of the mem- 

 bers of the Garden Club gave Mr. and 

 Mrs. Egan a dinner at the Casino Club, 

 among those present being W. N. Rudd, 

 O. C. Simonds and Jens Jensen. 



T. E. Waters returned April 2 from n 

 ton days' trip to Washington, Phila- 

 delphia, New York and Boston, the time 

 being spent mainly in observing the 

 Easter trade. It was the first time in 

 thirty-three years' connection with the 

 trade that Mr. Waters had not been 

 waiting on customers himself on the 

 eve of Easter. 



Edward Meuret and family have re- 

 turned from their winter's vacation in 

 California. The former Park Eidge 

 grower looks the picture of health and 

 no doubt will be found back in tlie 

 business again in the course of the next 

 few months. 



The engagement is announced of Miss 

 Anna Tonner and Louis Beattie. Miss 

 Tonner is well known as one of the five 

 Tonner sisters, the youngest of a large 

 family of florists. She has been keep- 

 ing the books for the Tonner firm in the 

 Atlas block. The fortunate young man 

 is a childhood playmate who has estab- 

 lished himself in the candy business 

 since he returned from Siberia, where 

 he wore Uncle Sam's uniform. The 

 wedding will take place before the 

 month ends.

 John Poehlmann says that those who 



have managed special flower sales all 

 tell him that it is useless to attempt to 

 use white roses. The public will buy 

 any other color if the price is low 

 enough, but white roses will not move
