Co. for the icebox and store fixtures 

 for the new store of Lubliner & Trinz, 

 who will open October 15 at 41 South 

 Wabash avenue. Joseph Trinz confirms 

 the report that he and his partners in 

 the Twentieth Century Amusement Co. 

 have sold the moving picture theater at 

 4708 Prairie avenue, which is considered 

 one of the best 10-cent show houses in 

 Chicago. The daily papers say the con- 

 sideration was $85,000. Messrs. Lub- 

 liner and Trinz have interests in six 

 other picture shows here and in Mil- 

 waukee and will probably build another 

 new theater soon. 



Business for the month of September 

 was not so brisk this year as usual at 

 the store of William Kidwell, on Forty- 

 third street, but the last week of the 

 month and the first few days of October 

 were unusually busy on account of wed- 

 ding orders that called for elaborate 

 bouquets and decorations. 



In the preface to the new catalogue 

 of the John C. Moninger Co., just is- 

 sued, P. L. McEee says it is the result 

 of a dream; rather, we think, it is the 

 result of burning the midnight oil, for 

 the book contains 384 closely i)rinted 

 pages and a superficial examination in- 

 dicates that its title, "Everything for 

 the Greenhouse," is no misnomer. A 

 departure from the usual trade cata- 

 logue is that it is bound in boards. Mr. 

 McKee noted that he was reluctant to 

 throw away anything that had i^al 

 book covers and he expects by this de- 

 vice to keep the catalogue in the office 

 of even those who do not have any im- 

 mediate need for it. 



After a trip of three months to New 

 York and other eastern cities where he 

 has relatives, Max Cohen is back in 

 town, looking for an opportunity to 

 open another flower store. He has the 

 necessary fixtures in storage. 



William Wienhoeber says the swell 

 north side trade likes the Mrs. Russell 

 rose; it is fragrant and a splendid 

 keeper. Mr. Wienhoeber thinks well of 

 Melody; while it fades rapidly it lasts 

 well and is a good rose to the end. 

 Bulgarie has sold well of late. 



Alli«. Zech has devised a new method 

 of keeping ferns that is attracting at- 

 tention around the market. In one 

 corner of the store a double-decked 

 bench has been constr.ucted, one pan 

 above the other, and in each deck there 

 is from an inch to two inches of water. 

 The ferns are unpacked and placed in 

 a standing position with the stems in 

 the water. He says even if the ferns 

 are wilted on arrival, a couple of hours

H. W. Buckbee, of Rockford, 111., 

 was a caller on the market last week 

 and says his crop of mums is ready to 

 cut. He expects to continue cutting 

 until the middle of December. The 

 stock is sold here by A. L. Vaughan & 

 Co. 



Archie Spencer, of Kyle & Foerster 's, 

 says it is no fun bearing the name of 

 Spencer when the police all over the 

 country are looking for a murder sus- 

 pect who bears that appellation and 

 who was described as wearing glasses. 

 He was much relieved when the party 

 was found. Some fifteen or more Spen- 

 cers were arrested before the right one 

 was located, but the florist escaped be- 

 ing taken to detective headquarters. 



NOTICE 



Two or three rose growers will find 

 it profitable to ship choice stock to my 

 market store. I have an excellent 

 patronage and the demand has grown 

 to such an extent that additional ship- 

 pers can be cared for. Choice stock 

 only.
