fortunate; all his ready cash is tied up, 

 in addition to which his boiler has failed, 

 and he is practically shut down at the 

 busiest season of the year. 



Various Notes. 



A big crowd will attend the conven- 

 tion next week, probably the largest dele- 

 gation Chicago has ever sent. The spe- 

 cial train pulls out Monday at 12:45 

 from the Illinois Central station. 



At the club meeting last week the only 

 action, 'aside from instructing a com- 

 mittee to prepare resolutions on the 

 death of James Hartshorne, was to elect 

 two new members, James Hamlin, of 

 Geneva, 111., and J. J. Wolniewiz, of 

 this city. 



W. E. Lynch, of E. H. Hunt's, has 

 gone to his old home at Hatfield, Mass., 

 to spend two weeks. His family were 

 already there. 



C. L. "Washburn is back from a week's 

 fishing and Louis Gresens is again on 

 deck, so Mrs. Horion has been despatched 

 to Detroit for a rest. 



E. C. Amling says he looks for an es- 

 pecially good season this fall. He says 

 there has been no great rush for stock 

 this summer, but a good, steady demand 

 that has made it his best summer. 



A. H. Budlong's family is at Lake 

 Geneva, and Mr. Bualong goes up each 

 Saturday to spend Sunday with them. 



At Eaton's, on Jackson boulevard, a 

 lily pond was one of the attractive fea- 

 tures last week^ the work of C. H. Grant. 



The George Wittbold Co. stores were 

 closed and the greenhouses turned over 

 to a watchman August 11 for the annual 

 picnic at Edgebrook. As the firm has 

 some seventy employees on its pay roll, 

 with tneir families it made a big and 



jolly party. These annual outings help 

 immensely in keeping up enthusiasm, for 

 it is the only day in the year when a 

 good part of the force forgets business. 



L. Baumann & Co. will take a big dis- 

 play to Dayton. Mr, Baumann goes 

 down Friday night. 



Miss Tonner writes the A, L. Bandall 

 Co. that she will sail from Liverpool for 

 New York August 29. 



Frederick Sperry, of Vaughan & 

 Sperry, is at Saugatuck, Mich., but will 

 return to let A. L. Vaughan attend the 

 convention, after which he will make an 

 eastern trip. 



WeiJand & Risch report a good sale 

 for tuberoses, the receipts not being 

 heavy as yet. 



The George Wittbold Co. has not lost 

 faith in the Boston fern, having now the 

 largest stock of it ever held. 



Wietor Bros, have their place all 

 planted and are, indeed, cutting quite 

 heavily from young roses. 



Leonard Kill, of Peter Beinberg's, 

 plans to spend a few days in Cincinnati 

 after the convention. Mrs. Kill will ac- 

 company him. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. reports 

 French bulbs in and a good share of 

 them out again. 



Flint Kennicott has been laid up for 

 several days with another siege with his 

 old enemy — rheumatism. 



Joe Curran is no longer in the flower 

 business, being salesman for W. E. Dee 

 Co., dealers in sewer pipe, etc. 



The Chicago Rose Co. is beginning to 

 cut Killarney roses in conb ,^^ie quan- 

 tity. 



Joe Straus, of Randall's, is at Mani- 

 tou Beach for a fortnight.

 liam Henry Evans, of the Pikes Peak 

 Floral Co., Colorado Springs, Colo.;

The Club Meets. 



At last we have had a meeting of our 

 (tlub. It was so long since we had met 

 that wo had to be introduced to the of- 

 ficers. With the exception of Mr. Kast- 

 ing, all of the old guard were on hand, 

 and a new member, Mr. Liebsch, of Ba- 

 tavia, was introduced and several can- 

 didates were nominated for membership. 



The first important business was to 

 decide where and when we should hold 

 our annual outing. President Neubeck 

 appointed Mr. Legg, Emil Brooker and 

 William Scott a committee with power to 

 decide on |)flacfe, sports, date, etc., and 

 they have selected Fort Erie grove as the 

 place and Wednesday, September 5, for
