a shortage in this country will depend 

 on whether or not the quantity g^own 

 can find its way to the American mar- 

 ket. If it can, we are in line for the

 other allied nations are of necessity

After a visit of several weeks with 

 his friend, the Austrian consul at 

 Charleston, S. C, Frank Fischer has 

 located at Lemmel, Fla. A. T. Pyfer 

 reports Mr. Fischer will grow aspara- 

 gus to ship to Chicago. He is putting 

 up lath houses with canvas sides and 

 seedling plants with which to fill them 

 have been started. It will be recalled 

 that prior to the time the greenhouses 

 were taken over by the Thompson con- 

 cern, Mr. Fischer was superintendent 

 for the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet. 



At John Mangel's the proprietor says 

 sales are running behind last year's 

 record, but John Canger, right-hand 

 man, comments that stock has been so 

 cheap, recently, and most of the time 

 during the season, that any retailer 

 who does not try to undersell his com- 



petitors has been able to make as 

 much money as ever, which may not 

 be cheerful news for growers. 



A. L. Randall and family have gone 

 to their summer home in Michigan, 

 where gladioli, both cut flowers and 

 bulbs, have become one of the princi- 

 pal crops.

George Fisher, who has for several 

 years maintained an office at 163 North 

 Wabash avenue, has opened a new stand 

 in the basement at 181 North Wabash 

 avenue. 



On a recent expedition to Lake 

 Geneva, W. J. Keimel and P. J. Foley 

 had excellent success with the fish, Mr. 

 Foley landing a 16-pound pickerel. 



Miss Agatha M. Greeley, who for 

 several years has been employed in 

 the office of the A. L. Randall Co., has 

 been engaged to handle the correspond- 

 ence of the John Kruchten Co. Miss 



Greeley is taking advantage of the op- 

 portunity offered by the transition to 

 visit the expositions in California and 

 will assume her new duties about Au- 

 gust 15. 



The Bohemian retail florists of Chi- 

 cago are planning an automobile pic- 

 nic for next month. Joseph Zima, 3053

 Frank Krai, Jr., 1907 South Halsted 

 street, and John Michal, 7045 Stony

 tee of arrangements. 



H. W. Rogers, of Weiland & Risch,
