JAPANESE r.ViiU SCARCE 



One of the things the war has affected is the supply of Ait* Plant, some- 

 times called Sea Moss. Being exclusively of foreign preparation, some- 

 times it is unobtainable in this country. We recently have received 

 some large shipments and recommend that our customers lay in a sea- 

 son's supply while first-class stock is available at such low prices as we 

 are able to offer this week. 



Finest quality, large bunches, $9 00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000 

 First quality, 6.50 per 100; 60.00 per 1000 



50 BASKETS, COMPLETE WITH LINERS. $13.00 



We call this our Rex Assortment, because it's the King of them all— just what you need for special sales of Pompon 

 Mums and for Ruscus, etc., for Christmas. Order 50 today and we venture you repeat the minute you unpack them.

ScUIler Comes Downtown. 



Schiller's Floral Gift Shop will in 

 the future be the name of the store 

 heretofore operated by William Lub- 

 liner, at 41 South Wabash avenue. No- 

 vember 1 the store was turned over to 

 its new owners in accordance with a 

 contract of sale consummated October 

 30. The store is held under a lease 

 that has three years to run, with an 

 option of renewal for a period of five 

 years. As the new name indicates, 

 the store will feature floral novelties 

 appropriate for gifts on all occasions. 

 This will necessitate the introduction 

 of various art wares. According to 

 •George Asmus and R. E. Schiller, the 



move was rendered necessary by the 

 urgent demands of the many Schiller 

 patrons, who demurred at being com- 

 pelled to go either to the north or 

 west sides. Miss Bertha Schiller will 

 operate the loop store, R. E. Schiller 

 the west side store, H. D. Schiller the 

 north side store and George Asmus 

 will distribute his time between them. 



Mr. McEee's New Deal. 



Philip L. McKee, formerly second 

 vice-president and general manager of 

 the John C. Moninger Co., has organ- 

 ized the American Greenhouse Manu- 

 facturing Co., of which he becomes 

 president and treasurer. November 1 

 the new concern opened an office at 

 1503 Masonic Temple, where estimates 

 already are being made. The necessary 

 legal steps to organize a corporation 



with $25,000 authorized capital stock 

 will be taken at the same time that 

 factory facilities are being developed. 

 Mr. McKee • is well known in the 

 trade. Entering the employ of the Mon- 

 inger company eleven years ago as a 

 general assistant, his natural aptitude 

 for the business and the energy he put 

 into his work soon carried him to man- 

 aging position. He invented and de- 

 veloped many new ideas in green- 

 house construction and has associated 

 himself, among others in his new com- 

 pamy, with J. E. Jones, of the Advance 

 Co., Richmond, Ind., who also has 

 years of experience in greenhouse 

 structural work.
