Christmas Greens 



Headquarters for the finest grade of Box- 

 wood, Holly, Bouquet Green, etc. You can 

 order of us with the certainty that you will re- 

 ceive nothing but first-class stock charged at 

 right prices. As the market fluctuates from 

 day to day, we urge that you get our quotations 

 before accepting any others— we probably can 

 save you money and you certainly cannot find 

 better stock than we offer.

 tips. The body of the grass is green, and the

there has always been enough stock 

 for Christmas, but it begins to seem 

 possible that this year there may be a 

 shortage of first-class roses and carna- 

 tions. 



The best judges of trade conditions 

 feel assured that the Christmas busi- 

 ness will be extremely heavy. The 

 only fear is that it will all come at 

 the last moment, too late to be handled 

 to the best satisfaction, either by re- 

 tailers or wholesalers. The effort novv 

 being made is to get things started 

 early, for a banner Christmas business 

 cannot be done in two days. 



Flowers at County Building. 



Many members of the trade made 

 their way to the County building De- 

 cember 7, to offer congratulations to 

 Peter Reinberg on the occasion of his 

 taking office as chairman of the county 

 commissioners and to see the flower 

 show. All the new county officers re- 

 ceived a great many flowers, except 

 Henry Stuckart, treasurer, who had an- 

 nounced he did not wish any. Perhaps 

 Mr. Stuckart realized he had taken an 

 unpopular stand, as he provided a large 

 quantity of carnations and decorated 

 the buttonhole of every visitor at his 

 office. The flowers sent to the judges 

 were especially numerous and some of

the commissioners had more than ever 

 before. Many were large designs and 

 some were incongruous. Mr. Reinberg 's 

 first appointment was Henry Zender 

 as superintendent of public service, a 

 job that pays $6,000 per year. 



Various Notes. 



S. Freund, sales manager for the 

 A. A. Arnold Paper Box Co., comes in 

 contact with merchants in several lines. 

 He says his business with florists since 

 August 1 has been at least as good as 

 with any other line, while right now it 



is better, better even than last year. 

 Apparently buyers have delayed order- 

 ing but are stocking up for Christmas. 



The J. B. Deamud Co. gave up last 

 week; the store at 158 North Wabash 

 avenue, street floor, occupied only a 

 few weeks, is closed, with a rent sign 

 in the window. It marks the passing 

 of another old and once important 

 house, causing general regret. 



The Chicago Florists' Club elects 

 officers tonight, December 10, at the 

 Bismarck, and tomorrow night, Decem- 

 ber 11, gives its annual ladies' night
