that arrangements have been made for 

 the association members who will at- 

 tend the S. A. F. convention at Boston 

 to make the trip on President Wirth's 

 special train, leaving Chicago on the 

 Lake Shore railroad at 8 p. m. August 

 IG. This is the train that will carry 

 the Chicago Florists' Club and the del- 

 egations from many western, northern 

 and southwestern cities. G. K. Thomp- 

 son, general agent for the Lake Shore, 

 says he has received a request from the 

 road's San Francisco agent to reserve 

 seven berths for the party coming from 

 there to try to take the 1915 conven- 

 tion back with them. 



Frank M. Johnson will combine busi- 

 ness and pleasure on a trip east in the 

 interest of the A. L. Bandall Co. The 

 pleasure will come in taking Mrs. John- 

 son for her first visit to New York and 

 Boston, which latter point will be 

 reached during the convention. 



A. L. Vaughan and family are plan- 

 ning to visit W. E. Lynch at his farm 

 home, near Springfield, Mass., follow- 

 ing the S. A. F. convention at Boston. 



Carl Ickes is much pleased with the 

 start made by the Ickes-Braun Mill Co. 

 Although the factory building is not 

 yet quite finished, several cars of green- 

 house material have been shipped. The 

 office was finished this week and the 

 telephone installed — Humboldt 11. 



One of the cases pending before the 

 Interstate Commerce Commission con- 

 cerns the freight rate on coal burned 

 at the Peter Reinberg greenhouses. As 

 the big establishments have grown, the 

 freight on fuel has become so impor- 

 tant an item of the yearly expense 

 that it is well worth watching. 



E. C. Amling returned this week from 

 a ten days' automobile trip that ex- 

 tended as far as La Crosse, Wis. H. 

 Wehrman and John Michelsen went 

 with him as far as Devil's Lake, where 

 they picked up H. N. Bruns. 



Jack Beyers has returned from a 

 brief excursion to Utah and is em- 

 ployed temporarily by Zeeh & Mann. 



August Poehlmann, Adolph Poehl- 

 mann and their wives are planning to 

 attend the Boston convention. Possibly 

 John Poehlmann and wife may go. T. 

 E. Waters will start a couple of days 

 early, to stage the company's exhibit. 



Miss Selma Allenbaugh has taken the 

 place made vacant in the office of the 

 E. C. Amling Co. by the resignation of 

 Miss Adelaide Amling, whose marriage 

 will take place in the early autumn.

the basement being moved back to the 

 building line, to conform to city regu- 

 lations. The Wabash avenue entrance 

 of Weiland & Risch and the stairway 

 to the store of the J. B. Deamud Co., 

 both in the same building as Winter- 

 son 's, also extend beyond the building 

 line, but the agent has informed these 

 florists that changes here will be post- 

 poned until the city takes action to 

 compel them. 



At the store of Wietor Bros., C. A. 

 Alios says the call for young stock of 



chrysanthemums still is brisk, in spite 

 of the lateness of the season. 



Winterson 's Seed Store received its 

 first shipment of Harrisii lily bulbs 

 July 27. 



A. G. Smith, of Benton Harbor, Mich- 

 is shipping large quantities of gladioli 

 to this market, principally America. 



Charles Klehm says he can afford to 

 experiment with the balance of his pe-
