Various Notes. 



C. C. Wakeling, who, with a partner, 

 leased the W. E. Lynch greenhouses at 

 Harlem avenue and Twenty-second 

 street, growing carnations, has gone to 

 Eldora, la., where he has acquired an 

 interest in the Pierce establishment, 

 doing both wholesale and retail business 

 in cut flowers and plants. Mr. Pierce 

 has other business interests and Mr. 

 Wakeling will be manager. 



E. F. Winterson was born June 21, 

 1869. That made him 46 years of age 

 last Monday. Of course there was a 

 celebration at his handsome home on 

 the west side. 



If summer does not come to Emil 

 Jehlik, 1825 South Ashland avenue, he 

 will go to summer. Mr. Jehlik owns 

 some choice lots in San Diego, Cal., 

 and is quite seriously considering the 

 idea of disposing of his business here, 

 erecting greenhouses on these lots and 

 spending the rest of his days growing 

 asparagus and adiantum. 



The condition of the flower business 

 depends altogether on the point of view, 

 according to E. C. Amling, who sug- 

 gests that more people are buying and 

 enjoying flowers than in any previous 

 June. He thinks the retailing of good 

 flowers at low prices is adding steadily 

 to the number of people who will prove 

 regular customers. 



Edward Drehmann, chief assistant to 

 Charles Grabig, 843 Irving Park boule- 

 vard, will, as usual, spend his two 

 months' vacation on his farm in Michi- 

 gan. He hopes to leave by July 1. 



Emil Buettner seldom has sent in so 

 many flowers as came from Park Bidge 

 last week. In addition to an unusually 

 heavy cut of Killarneys, he had a big 

 crop of peonies of fine quality. 



Bassett & Washburn are making some 

 changes in their carnation ranges. They 

 have dropped the entire Enchantress 

 family. White Wonder and Matchless 

 are their pick of the white varieties and 

 Pink Delight, Gloriosa, Helen Wash- 

 burn and a light pink seedling of their

own are their choice of pinks, while 

 Belle Washburn satisfies all their re- 

 quirements for red. 



The Lady Florists' Club held its first 

 meeting June 19 at the home of Miss 

 Marguerite K. McNulty, of Peter Rein- 

 berg's store staff. The July meeting 

 will be held at the home of Miss Olga 

 A. Tonner. 



In answer to the popular demand, 

 George Weiland, secretary of the Chi- 

 cago newer Growers' Association, has 

 added two benches of Ophelia to his 

 stock of roses. He is quite impressed 

 with this variety and believes it will 

 prove a winner. Mr. Weiland now 

 grows fourteen varieties. 



I. B. Thurman, 4246 Indiana avenue, 

 who has been in ill health for the last 

 few months, has improved sufficiently 

 to be about his store again. Mr. Thur- 

 man had considered going to Texas, but 

 the change in the weather here will 

 make it xmnecessary.
