CHICAGO. I 

 » 



busy as superintendent of the city parka 

 for many years, 



J. Seulberger, of Oakland, has sold 

 his Seventh street establishment to 

 John Campiana and N. Rolleri and will 

 in future devote his entire attention to 

 his Fourteenth street store. Mr. Cam- 

 piana was connected with Mr. Seulberger 

 for a number of years and has the 

 florist business well in hand. 



Sievers & Boland report their ship- 

 ping business for Decoration day to be 

 the largest they have ever handled". G. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



Prop)er observance of ^Memorial day 

 was shown here and never before were 

 there so many flowers used. As one of 

 our cemetery superintendents stated, 

 there were wagon loads of beautiful 

 J^oses, the graves being literally covered, 

 ^ut the florists did not reap the usual 

 harvest because of so much outdoor 

 stock. Everybody had a garden full of 

 "owers and local trade suffered in con- 

 »€quence. It was the out of town or- 

 Jers which kept us busy, the demand 

 t>eing the greatest in years. Distance is 

 not considered by some people and Ore- 

 gon roses were shipped as far as Mon- 

 «na, Nebraska and Iowa. There were 

 ilf^7 ^'^'■'^ties of common though beau- 

 h.lf \u °^®'"^ to be had in abundance, 

 out tliey did not prove a profitable in- 

 vestment to the florist. The first sweet 



peas on twelve-inch stems were ushered 

 in the week preceding Decoration day 

 and became so plentiful as to sell on the 

 streets for 10 cents a big bunch. A few 

 hundred fine white peonies retailed at 

 $1.50 per dozen. The city was almost 

 bombarded with bachelor's buttons, 

 which grow as abundantly here as sun- 

 flowers in Kansas. Thousands of them 

 were handled by the street venders, who 

 were out in full force. H. J. M. 



CLEVELAND. 



August Schmitt has been in poor 

 health for some time and on the even- 

 ing of June 1 shot himself through the 

 head while in bed. The flash from the 

 revolver is supposed to have set the bed 

 clothing on fire and when the family, 

 who were absent, returned home in the 

 evening they found the building in 

 flames. The fire was extinguished but 

 not before Mr. Schmitt 's body was badly 

 burned. He was 63 years of age. 



The Cleveland Floral Co. has been 

 licensed to incorporate with a capital 

 of $30,000. The incorporators named 

 are C. W. Fuller, J. L. Bradley, L. R. 

 Canfield, J. A. Cline and E. L Hatfield. 

 The company is to take over the busi- 

 ness of the Grant-Wilson Floral Co. 



Gibson City, III. — Swan Peterson has 

 sold a large quantity of bedding stock 

 to the Wabash Railroad for use on the 

 station grounds. 



BROOKLYN, N. Y. 



Richard Shannon, whose florist's es- 

 tablishment is at Greene and Franklin 

 avenues, is figuring in the newspapei; 

 accoimts arising from the trouble at 

 the Merchants Bank occasioned by the 

 failure of Woodend & Co., brokers. It 

 .seems that Mr. Shannon is not only a 

 florist but a capitalist and a director 

 in the bank. He had recently a consid- 

 erable amount of collateral in the bank 

 and instructed its president to sell 100 

 shares of Sugar stock for his account. 

 This the president did through Woodend 

 & Co., realizing $12,800 which the 

 brokers failed to pay over to the bank, 

 claiming that its president was indebted 

 to them. Theti the brokers failed and 

 the florist inquired of the bank as to 

 where he was to get his money. It re- 

 sulted in the resignation of the bank 

 president and, although the florist is a 

 director in the bank, he will probably 

 have to sue to get his money. 



Hartford, Conn. — George S. Osborn, 

 who is still in ill health, is closing out 

 his business. The real estate has been 

 sold, also the greenhouses, which are be- 

 ing removed. 



North Manchester, Ind. — Harry 

 White has bought the glass and busi- 

 ness of the North Manchester green- 

 houses and will shortly move his glass 

 from his former location near Wabash.
