kt't, as well as of other florists through 

 tlie country. When Mr. Fisher left 

 ^•'w Decatur, H. Papenburg, according 

 to his letter, was obliged to take over 

 tlio greenhouses to secure himself on 

 a financial transaction. He now is 

 running the greenhouses, but he is a 

 hardware merchant, not a florist. He is 

 looking for a partner who knows the 

 ^nsiness. 



"Uses and Abuses of Cemeteries" is 

 announced as the subject for discus- 

 sjon at the meeting of the Retail Flo- 

 ri^ts' Association August 3. The title 

 "loos not quite express the idea. The 

 ti'ude gradually is awakening to the 

 fi'ct that the best that can be said for 

 t'e cemeteries is that they are com- 



petitors of the florists in the wholesale 

 markets; they nearly all refuse to per- 

 mit a florist to do work in the ceme- 

 tery for lot owners. 



The daily papers insist that Peter 

 Reinberg, as a candidate for president 

 of the laoard of county commissioners, 

 will represent the hope of the Hearst- 

 Harrison faction of the democracy at 

 the approaching primary election. Flo- 

 rists, without regard to party, are anx- 

 ious for Mr. Reinberg 's success at the 

 polls. 



After watching the operation of the 

 new express rates for some months, E. 

 E. Pieser has come to the conclusion 

 that on the whole the new rates will 

 not save anything for florists. There 



are many instances of reduction in 

 rates, but Mr. Pieser has found enough 

 increases to fully offset all reductions. 

 As an illustration, the new practice of 

 billing shipments of Massachusetts 

 ferns at the exact weight instead of at 

 the even weight has added about 25 

 cents per case to the cost. 



F. F. Scheel, of Shermerville, is one 

 of the carnation growers who reports 

 having made more money in the sea- 

 son of 1913-14 than in 1912-13, His 

 place, under his management five years, 

 contains 36,000 feet of glass and is in 

 first-class condition. His stock is sold 

 by Kvle & Foerster.
