lily of last winter. At last he has 

 succeeded in producing everblooming 

 lilies. These, if properly handled, will 

 bloom every day. This variety has 

 been named in honor of the President's 

 late wife, Mrs, Woodrow Wilson. It is 

 a free bloomer, carrying ten to twelve 

 flowers in bud on one plant. In color 

 it is a light lavender. Panama-Pacific, 

 a plum-purple variety, will be intro- 

 duced next winter. 



President Keimel took occasion to 

 discourse enthusiastically on the won- 

 ders of the California expositions and 

 the Pacific coast country. He sp6ke, 

 among other things, of the methods 

 used by the Japanese and Chinese in 

 growing asters and chrysanthemums, 

 and of the curious wall of mesembryan- 

 themum at the exposition. His talk 

 was highly entertaining and much en- 

 joyed. 



C. W. Johnson, of Morgan Park, 

 president of the Illinois State Florists' 

 Association, made a few remarks on the 

 success of the last meeting of the ex- 

 ecutive board, at Peoria, August 31, 

 and urged on Chicago florists a realiza- 

 tion that the state organization is as 

 much to them as the local club, and 

 that it is working diligently in their 

 behalf. 



Vaughan 's Greenhouses, Western 

 Springs, staged two vases of dahlias, 

 white, pink and scarlet, and a vase 

 of summer lilac or butterfly bush, that 

 attracted much attention. 



Dr. Bred in Trouble. 



Florists who have dealt with Dr. 

 John Brod will be interested in the 

 following, taken from the Chicago 

 Tribune for September 12: 



" 'Dr.' John Brod, necromancer and 

 florist, who has been prosecuted by the 

 state board of health several times for 

 'quackery,' has been missing since Au- 

 gust 3, and his creditors are beginning 

 to worry about their claims. 



"While his son and daughters and 

 some of the people residing in the vi- 

 cinity of his home at 5143 Warwick 

 avenue are inclined to believe he met 

 with accident or robbers, others think 

 he was driven to cover by his financial 

 afl'airs and the divorce suit of his

"Bang," the old man's fist came 

 down on the buyer's desk. 



The buyer, who was just pushing 

 the buzzer to call a telegraph mes- 

 senger, looked up in alarm. 



"I tell you, boy, this is all fool- 

 ishness. It costs money to wire and 

 phone orders in. Keep stocked up." 



The buyer started to argue: 

 "There has been an unexpected run 

 on Wire Designs and" — 



"Unexpected poppycock and fid- 

 dlesticks! You know we are going to 

 need Wire Designs, Chiffons, Ferns, 

 Galax, Magnolia Leaves and Box- 

 wood all this winter. Why do you 

 wait until you have to send a tele- 

 gram!" 



"Well, as a rule'' — the buyer was 

 interrupted again. 



"As a rule — rot! I tell you, buy 

 ahead. We have space enough to 

 store a few months' supply of Wire 

 Work, Chiffons and Magnolia Leaves. 

 Send the order to Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., now." 



"Yes, sir," said the buyer. But 

 buyers often put things off. 



"And have them make a ship- 

 ment of so many thousand Ferns 

 each week, and send Boxwood and

Galax at certain intervals. Cut out 

 some of these telegraph charges — 

 and get the rock bottom price at 

 the same time. I would not ask 

 you to buy up a large supply of 

 anything that would spoil or go out 

 of style. But if you order your 

 stock from The House of Quality 

 Plus, there will be no spoilage, as 

 the quality will be the best. The 

 contract prices that Kennicott 's 

 quote you on supplies are really re- 

 markable. I don't mean that they 

 are cheap, but wonderfully low, con- 

 sidering the quality of stuff they 

 furnish," the old man stated with 

 firmness. ' * Just let then? quote prices, 

 young fellow," he called back as he 

 left the oflice; "if the Kennicott 

 prices do not compare favorably 

 with- other Houses then— but they 

 do." 



The old man came back and 

 stood by the buyer's desk and 

 waited till a request for special 

 prices on Wire Work, Chiffons, Ferns, 

 Galax, Magnolia Leaves and Box- 

 wood was carefully written and ad- 

 dressed to Kennicott Bros. Co., 163 

 No. Wabash Ave., Chicago.

fourth wife, Mrs. Sarah J. Lynch Brod, 

 who published newspaper notices to 

 the effect that she would be responsi- 

 ble for no debts except those contract- 

 ed by herself. 



' ' His attorneys, a well known firm 

 in the loop, refused to comment on his 

 absence. The house has been taken 

 possession of by Attorney August G. 

 Urbanski on the strength of a quit- 

 claim deed made to Mrs. Antonnia 

 Pufundt. 



"Mrs Mary E. V. Cunningham had 

 been receiving treatment at Brod's 

 office over his chemical company office 

 at 1758 North avenue. She fell down- 

 stairs and incurred injuries for which 

 the court awarded her $1,000. Brod 

 induced Mrs. Pufundt to sign his ap- 

 peal bond. Mrs. Cunningham died be- 

 fore the upper court affirmed judgment,

and her administrator sued on the 

 bond. 



"Then Brod gave Mrs. Pufundt a 

 quit-claim deed. Subsequently Mrs. 

 Brod sued for divorce. Henry F. 

 Brinkman, a grocer, who says Brod ran 

 up a bill of $60 before his disappear- 

 ance, offered Attorney Urbanski $5,000 

 spot cash for the house if clear title 

 could be passed, but ^s there is al- 

 ready $5,300 wedged against the house.
