shades in gladioli, while now the de- 

 mand has changed to the bright Colors. 

 This fact is well shown by the experi- 

 ence with the season's crop of bright 

 red gladioli which Matt Mann has mar- 

 keted through Zech & Mann, While the 

 light colors were practically unsalable, 

 the red stock, which, of course, was good, 

 sold at $1.25 per dozen and it was neces- 

 sary to place orders days ahead to get 

 them. The crop is now practically at an 

 end and the demand has slackened, but 

 John Zech says that for two months 

 prior to July 15 he did not have one 

 spike left by noon. 



Lake Forest Flower Show. 



John Degnan, of the E. F. Winterson 

 Co., was at Lake Forest July 13 to 

 attend the first annual flower show of 

 the Lake Forest Horticultural Society. 

 He says the show was fine, both decora- 

 tive effect and individual exhibits, which 

 were all by gardeners on the private 

 estates there, commercial exhibitors be- 

 ing barred. It was a society function, 

 well attended. The judges were W. C. 

 Egan, Edwin A. Kanst and W. N. Eudd. 



Club Picnic. 



There was a meeting of the picnic 

 committee of the Florists' Club at the 

 store of Poehlmann Bros. Co. Wednes- 

 day afternoon to complete details for the 

 big picnic to be held at Morton Grove 

 Sunday, July 21. Tickets are on sale 

 in all the wholesale houses and a rec- 

 ord crowd is expected. The oflScial train 

 leaves the Union depot on the St. Paul 

 road at 9:30. There are other trains at 

 12:40, 2 p. m, and 3:15. Keturning the 

 train leaves Morton Grove at 7:05. 



Various Notes. 



Since John F. Kidwell announced that 

 he would consider offers for the Kidwell 

 Wentworth avenue establishment, a num- 

 ber of enterprising young men in the 

 business have been figuring on how they 

 could raise the money, for the stand is 

 recognized as one of the best in the city 

 and its occupant fairly sure of a pros- 

 perous business. 



W. L. Kroeschell is spending a fort- 

 night with his family at a Wisconsin 

 lake. Fred Lautenschlager has come 

 home from the road to attend to the 

 greenhouse heating end of the business 

 during his absence. 



At Kennicott's Max Ringier is putting 

 in spare moments wielding the paint- 

 brush. He has started in to give the en- 

 tire place two coats of light green. 



W. J. Smyth has installed one of the 

 latest cash registers, one of the kind 

 that issues a check for each purchase, but 

 as yet he offers no premiums for the 

 redemption of the trading stamps. 



P. J. Hauswirth is at Philadelphia 

 this week with the Elks and assisting in 

 prepararions for the 8. A. F. convention. 



The A. L. Kandall Co, reports a good 

 demand for fertilizers, especially bone 

 meal. 



W. E. Lynch, at E. H. Hunt's, says 

 that the use of the long distance tele- 

 phone is becoming quite general for or- 

 dering cut flowers for shipment to near- 

 by cities. Since the advance in tele- 

 graph charges, it often is cheaper to 

 phone than to wire, especially if an an- 

 swer is wanted, and all that is needed to 

 largely increase the use of long distance 

 phones is good service and a little 



advertising of the telephone's advan- 

 tages. 



The three Winandy brothers and some 

 of their men are at East Liverpool, O,, 

 putting up four greenhouses for the 

 Lake Newell Floral Co. 



E. C. Amling reports having received 

 one order this week for half a million 

 bronze galax. 



J, A. Budlong's principal cut at pres- 

 ent is from his young Beauty plants, but 

 P. C. Schupp says the crop will be much 

 heavier in the course of a few days. 



C. M. Dickinson and family left June 

 13 to spend three weeks at Pelican lake, 

 in Wisconsin, 



Klehm's Nurseries sent out a postal 

 card notice to a large number of retail 

 people, dated July 13, stating that the 

 quantity of peonies in storage at that 

 date was about 2,000 dozen an^ that 

 they expected the supply to last no 

 longer than ten days. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co, reports 

 July business as rather better than last 

 year because they now are getting a cut 

 from the young Beauties planted early 

 in the spring. 



Gus Alves, right hand man to N. J, 

 Wietor, is on his annual vacation. 



Miss Kate Eehm and her nieces, Flo- 

 rella and Nola Virgin, are guests of Mr. 

 and Mrs, C, W. McKellar. They visited 

 Milwaukee July 15. Miss Eehm is a 

 sister of Mrs. Virgin. She states that 

 Mr, and Mrs. Virgin will attend the 

 convention at Philadelphia and prob- 

 ably pay their annual visit to Chicago on 

 the way home.
