Mrs. Frank Williams, proprietor of 

 the Atlas Floral Co., is said to have

E. F. Winterson was 45 years of age 

 June 21. There was quite a celebration 

 at the store Saturday afternoon. 



It never has been possible to get all 

 the wholesale cut flower houses in this 

 market to close at 5 p. m. during the 

 summer, but John Zech, who has rather 

 positive ideas on some subjects, says he 

 would close even if nobody else did, 

 since the last hour of the day at this 

 season brings practically nothing to 

 justify keeping the stores open. 



O. W. Frese reports that Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co. has found it possible to obtain 

 as much as 20 cents per flower for the 

 best grade of Mrs. Eussell this week, 

 which puts it in the Beauty class.

 Doesn't Every Buyer Pay the Same 

 Price t"

 tion houses. As soon as the present crop 

 is cut six houses will be demolished and 

 four new houses erected covering the 

 same space. New material will be used, 

 except the glass. 



A wholesale florist has been threat- 

 ened with a suit for damages on the 

 ground that an employee no longer on 

 the payroll had contracted blood poison- 

 ing through the punctures of rose 

 thorns. 



A new store has been opened at 6004 

 South Halsted street, by U. A. Cam- 

 piche. His son, Albert, is in charge.

 buyer. 



The Lake Shore railroad has issued a 

 circular letter on behalf of the Chicago

 the S. A. F. convention at Boston in 

 August. It is ""hoped '•fo^^el a large 



enough party to procure a special train. 

 The start will be made Sunday, August

This is John F. Kidwell 's last week as 

 a retail florist in Chicago. He is one 

 of the oldest men in the business. The 

 establishment of J. F. Kidwell & Bro., 

 on Wentworth avenue, will be taken 

 over July 1 by William Kidwell, who 

 has the sfore on Forty-third street. 



P. C. Schupp states that the J. A.

 previous month since valley forcing was

Victor Bergman has fitted the Fried- 

 man show window with a big zinc pan 

 and last week put in a summer decora- 

 tion of various-colored nymphseas. His 

 window is not large, but he manages to 

 stop many of the passing throng.
