westward way is H. N. Bruns, at the sign 

 of the valley pip. Mr. Bruns is known 

 all over the country as western head- 

 quarters for cold storage valley, the ship- 

 ment and forcing of which is a strong 

 specialty with him, but he also does a 

 nice retail trade. Just now outdoor work 

 is keeping him exceptionally busy. 



A few blocks further out is C. Frauen- 

 felder, who has one of the best businesses 

 in town. He has been at the same stand 

 since the locality was little more than a 



{)rairie and has an established trade of 

 arge proportions. So thoroughly has he 

 the confidence of his people that in or- 

 dering funeral workj of which he makes 

 a great deal, most of them leave the 

 (Selection of material to him, and every 

 retailer knows how valuable that priv- 

 ilege is ; it enables him to keep the waste 

 down to a minimum. 



Last, but not least, is the Garfield Park 

 Flower Co. A general retail trade is 

 done, but this is distinctly a plant-grow- 

 ing establishment and Frank Oechslin 

 says that for the past fortnight they 

 have been almost too busy to give a civil 

 answer to anyone who liothered them 

 with questions. They are hard workers 

 and have earned their big business. 

 There is a big stock of spring stuff, but 

 Mr. Oechslin says it looks as though they 

 will run short on many items before the 

 end of the season. A nice batch of 

 hydrangeas will be ready for Decoration 

 day. ^ ■■■■■■" 



Vatiottt Notes. 



Prior to his departure for California, 

 President Hauswirth, of the Florists' 

 Club, appointed the committee which is 

 to consider the matter of a spring rose 

 show in conjunction with that of the 

 American Rose Society. The committee 

 consists of F. F. Benthey, C. L. Wash- 

 burn, N. J. Wietor, August Poehlmann, 

 Peter Reinberg, John Degnan and John 

 P. Risch. 



The Retail Florists' Association pro- 

 poses to drive the sidewalk men out of 

 business. There is an ordinance requir- 

 ing that sidewalks be kept free of bopths 

 and show cases. On May 17 a delega- 

 tion, headed by A. Lange, called on 

 Mayor Dunne, accompanied by a repre- 

 sentative of Huttman, Butters & Carr, 

 who are nttorneys for the retailers. The 

 mayor referred the matter to the assistant 

 corporation counsel, Maclay Hoyne, who 

 recommended that the commissioner of 

 public works order the removal of the 

 show cases from the sidewalks. 



Henry C. Dunn and John A. Huebner, 

 former employees of the Central Floral 

 Co., are doing a nice business at 72 Ran-
