over 150 trade visitors registered at the 

 flower show last week. 



N. Jj^ Wietor says that they are prac- 

 tically'' cut out on mums, nearly three 

 weeks earlier than last year. 



The north end of State street, the 

 block from Randolph to Lake, must be a 

 very good stand for a flower store, since 

 three seem to thrive on one side of the 

 street. T. D. Mosconesotes has been in 

 the Masonic Temple for years. Bohanon 

 & Conger opened a little over a year ago, 

 at the north end of the block, and about 

 the same time Henry Klunder opened be- 

 tween the two. Each keeps a very neat 

 place. Since Fleischman moved to 

 Jackson . boulevard these are the only le- 

 gitimate flower stores on the street. 



Vaughan & Sperry are still getting in 

 very fine Kaiserins, especially notable 

 because so late in the season. 



Edgar Sanders was down to the flower 

 show for a few hours Friday afternoon 

 and there was no visitor during the week 

 whom the boys were more glad to see. 



Percy Jones is getting in about 2,000 

 fine mums a day this week and his corner 

 of the market is a busy place. 



Chas. Heim has withdrawn from part- 

 nership with his two brothers at Blue 

 Island and has put up a couple of new 

 houses across the street. 



N. Armbrust, at Oak Park, one of the 

 veterans of the craft, had a very large 

 wedding order not long since, the MaJone 

 wedding. The decorations included both 

 church and house. At the church sixty 

 palms were used, also quantities of wUd 

 smilax, mums and several hundred feet 

 of ribbon. Besides mantel and other 

 work in the parlor there was a large 

 arch of asparagus from which hung a 

 bell under which the bridal couple stood 

 to receive. In the hall, second parlor 

 and dining room large quantities of 

 mums, roses and carnations were used, as 

 well as green stuff. The musicians were 

 in the conservatory, screened by two ivy 

 plants eight feet high and six broad. 

 All told, a great quantity of stock was 

 used. 



Spencer, Ia. — Carl Seigle, who has 

 been florist with Dr. W. P. Woodcock 

 for a number of years, has gone to his 

 old home in Germany for a visit. 



FUMIGATION. 



"Will ferns, like the Boston and that 

 type, bear the same fumigation that roses 

 will! C. P. N. 



We have never noticed that fumiga- 

 tion did any harm to the Boston ferns, 

 but a heavy, dense smoke would be lia- 

 ble to brown the fronds and stunt the 

 young growths. They would certainly 

 stand all the smoke that roses would 

 bear. Burn tobacco dust, which will give 

 you all the benefit of the nicotine with- 

 out the hot smoke, and you will hurt 

 neither ferns nor roses. W. S. 



ROCK WAS FIHST. 



In the World 's Fair flower show W. L. 

 Rock was first on table decoration with 

 a very fine centerpiece of orchids. F. 

 H. Bowe was second with a fine monnd 

 of Chatenay roses. The statement that 

 Mr. Rowe won first, in the advertisement 

 of Poehlmann Bros. Co. last week, was 

 a typographical error. To be second to 

 so good a table as Mr. Rock's was a 

 high honor.
