Harrisii. There was a flurry in valley 

 last week but the demand quickly sub- 

 sided, and some shipments brought in 

 from the east failed of a market. This 

 week valley is a glut. 



Thus far there is nothing doing in 

 ' ' green goods. ' ' The autumn decorations 

 have not yet commenced. When they 

 do, there will be plenty of material. One 

 or two early jobs have called for wild 

 smilax, which can be had on a few 

 days* notice. 



Death of John C. Ure. 



The craft has lost another of its vet- 

 erans. John C. Ure died on Sunday, 

 September 10, aged 79 years. He was 

 a pioneer in the trade in Chicago, his 

 business experience dating from the 

 early days of the city. 



Mr. Ure was born, and educated to 

 gardening, in England. He came to 

 America while yet a young man and 

 conducted a prosperous establishment 

 when the business in the west was in 

 its infancy and when little other than 

 bedding stock was grown, but in greater 

 variety than is the case today. He was 

 a tliorough plantsman and possessed of 

 a Avide knowledge on horticultural sub- 

 jects. 



As with many of the old timers, Mr. 

 Uro's business had its ups and downs 

 but none was more actively identified 

 with trade affairs than he. Early flower 

 show history would show him among the 

 most active figures and, indeed, he was 

 an exhibitor at last year's show, having 

 never lost his interest. In early days 

 flower show management was often in 

 his hands and for years he was identi- 

 fied with the work of the State Board 



of Agriculture and took a leading part 

 in horticultural affairs throughout Illi- 

 nois and at the state fairs. 



During the World's Fair he was in 

 charge of the grounds and decorations of 

 the Illinois state building and it is well 

 remembered that Illinois had reason to 

 be proud of his work at that time. 



Of recent years Mr. Ure's strength 

 had somewhat limited his activity but 

 he still conducted the establishment in 

 Edgewater where he has been located 

 for so many years. He had maintained 

 his membership in the Chicago Florists' 

 Club and in the Horticultural Society 

 of Chicago, but had allowed his member- 

 ship in many other organizations to 

 lapse. Mr. Ure was one of the oldest 

 Masons in Chicago. He leaves a widow 

 and several children, one son being as- 

 sociated with him in his business. A 

 daughter is Mrs. James Hartshorne, of 

 Joliet. 



A special meeting of the Chicago Flo- 

 rists' Club was held September 12 at the 

 office of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co., 

 Vice-president J. P. Eisch occupying the 

 chair. Besclutions were adopted and a 

 floral tribute ordered sent to the funeral, 

 which was held Tuesday afternoon at 

 the family residence, 2843 Evanston ave- 

 nue, and attended by a large number of 

 i those in the trade. Interment was at 

 Rose Hill. 



The portrait of Mr. Ure, printed on 

 the opposite page, is from his latest 

 photograph, taken March 23, 1893, when 

 he was actively engaged in the World's 

 Fair work. 



At Wittbold's. 

 The George Wittbold Co. has pulled 



down the ends of all the houses west of 

 the store on Buckingham place and is 

 putting up a show house to match the 

 one running east from the store. When 

 finished it will give them the best street 

 frontage in Chicago. The new office 

 building is nearly ready for occupancy. 

 The boys report retail trade good for 

 summer and the wholesale end is big, 

 many orders on for fall shipment. Two 

 men are on the road. They have an un- 

 usually large stock of Bostons, kentias 

 and miscellaneous decorative stock. Like 

 many others, they have practically closed 

 out on latanias. 



At Edgebrook they are cutting Rich- 

 mond rose and say the plants have done 

 especially well. In the store they like 

 it better than Liberty. Killarney, they 

 say, is a great keeper. Going into cut 

 flowers will enable the company to widen 

 its field, to take in the trade that needs 

 cuttings and plants of roses, carnations, 

 mumg, etc. They already have a large 

 stock of hardy stuff for their retail trade 

 and will eventually be able to supply the 

 wholesale demand. 



Florists' Club Meeting:. 



The Florists' Club will hold its first 

 meeting for the season at Handel hall 

 this evening. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, 

 is expected to be present and always has 

 something interesting to say. Flower 

 show matters will be discussed and a 

 large attendance is expected.
