display. Lilies are the worst drag on 

 the market. It is too bad, as there is 

 much stock of most excellent quality. 



Greens continue to move with extreme 

 slowness, smilax keeping well in the 

 rear of the main body. 



Various Notes. 



After a brief but pleasant visit with 

 Chicago, Hinsdale and Aurora friends, 

 O. P. Bassett and his %ife turned their 

 automobile toward the west early in 

 the morning of August 30. They will 

 motor to Denver, then south to the old 

 Santa Fe trail, and west to the Grand 

 Canyon and the petrified forest of Ari- 

 zona. Three or four weeks will find 

 them in Pasadena again. 



Quite the opposite of the general 

 verdict, Wendland & Keimel, Elmhurst, 

 say they consider the Mrs. Ward rose 

 at least as profitable as any other va- 

 riety. They have grown two houses of 

 it from which they have cut steadily 

 for nearly three years. Recently these 

 houses were given their first rest, a 

 third house having been planted with

the variety. Many growers have 

 dropped Mrs. Ward as one of their least 

 profitable sorts. 



A branch store that for many years 

 has been operated at 57 North Fifth 

 avenue, as the Briggs House Florist, 

 will be discontinued after August 30, 

 according to Demosthenes Papatony, 

 proprietor of the Briggs Florist, 228 

 West Madison street. 



Because Gullett & Sons have begun 

 shipping roses to the A. L. Randall Co., 

 Eric Johnson made a trip to Lincoln, 

 HI., last week to look over the stock 

 in the big new range. He says it never 

 had been his privilege to see so inter- 

 esting an establishment. 



Believing that the time is ripe, D. P. 

 Roy, for years well known in the trade, 

 severed his connection with A. Hender- 

 son & Co., August 8, for the purpose of 

 launching into business on his own ac- 

 count. Mr. Roy is busily engaged this 

 week in making the necessary prepara- 

 -tions incident to this move. He states 

 that he will make a formal announce- 

 ment of his plans next week. 



The business property at 1602 West 

 Chicago avenue, twenty-five feet west 

 of Ashland avenue, 25x118 feet, south 

 front, has been bought by Gust L. 

 Pappas, of the Alpha Floral Co., and 

 in charge of its store at Des Moines, 

 for an indicated consideration of $21,- 

 500, subject to an incumbrance of $15,- 

 000. The building was valued at $6,- 

 100 in the deal, giving the land a val- 

 uation of approximately $600 a front 

 foot, an unusually good figure for that 

 neighborhood. 



There was a baseball game August 

 29 between teams representing the two 

 establishments of the George Wittbold 

 Co., resulting in a score: Edgebrook, 

 17; Lake View, 5. Charles Meyer, of 

 Lake View, was umpire. 



Word was received, August 30, at the 

 office of the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association of the death of Mrs. Fred 

 Schramm, the preceding evening, at the 

 home of her son-in-law, Wm. Koehler, 

 at Des Plaines. The funeral will be 

 held September 2, with interment at 

 the Town Maine cemetery at Park
