summer. He thinks it the most profitable 

 rose on his place and a particularly good 

 summer variety. He therefore anticipates 

 a large sale for the stock. 



A Golden Wedding. 



Mr. and Mrs. Gottfried Amling will 

 celebrate their golden wedding August 

 14. There will be a service at St. John 's 

 Lutheran church, at Forest Park, at 4 

 p. m., followed by a reception at the 

 home, 36 Elgin street. 



The event will be an occasion of a 

 family gathering. There are nine sur- 

 viving children, and thirty-four grand- 

 children and great-grandchildren. The 

 family would make a little colony by it- 

 self, for nearly every profession . and 

 trade is represented, hardly any two of 

 the sons or grandsons having pursued the 

 seme walk in life, except that there is 

 a preponderance of florists — three sons 

 are engaged in this line, Albert and Will- 

 iam at Maywood, and E. C. Amling, in 

 the wholesale department. 



Reserve Your Berths. 



F. F. Benthey, 35 Randolph street, is 

 anxious to hear from those who want 

 accommodations on the Florists' Club's 

 special train to Niagara Falls, leaving at 

 6 p. m., August 17, via the Wabash. 



Mr, Benthey understands that there 

 will be a large attendance, but few have 

 as yet spoken for berths and it is spe- 

 cially desirable that he know how many 

 cars will be required for the trip, else 

 it may be found that the train is crowd- 

 ed. Write him or call him on the phone. 



George H. Blackman, of Evansville, 

 Ind., has written for a berth on the 

 Obicago train. 



The Welcome Rain. 



The two months' drought in Chicago 

 and vicinity was broken on the evening 

 of Tuesday, August 11, by the heaviest 

 rainfall of the summer. In the first half 

 hour more rain fell than in the previous 

 two and a half months. Since May 28 

 there had been only traces of precipita- 

 tion, the heaviest being July 17, with

 about two inches. 



Some damage was done, but great good 

 will result, especially to the aster crop, 

 and larger suppUes and better quality, 

 with lower prices, may now be looked for. 



Variota Notes. 



Joseph Molck, of Jeflfersonville, Ind., 

 is in town, visiting the various sources 

 of supply and stocking up for the big 

 trade he expects this fall. 



Kidwell & Ellsworth, at Belmont, are 

 planting their houses with carnations 

 grown in the field by Wietor Bros., near- 

 ly 10,000 plants having been bought of 

 this firm. 



H. N. Bruns is building another green- 

 house, 25x105, for the growing of valley. 

 The new house adjoins the east side of 

 his store and is of Moninger construc- 

 tion. It will be ready for use about 

 September 1. The south end of it will 

 be fitted with a handsome plate glass 

 show window, which will thus form an 

 extension of the already large frontage 

 which is used for the display of stock. 

 At the rear end of the new house a 

 boiler-shed is being erected, where a 

 Kroeschell boiler will be installed, of 

 sufficient capacity to heat the entire es- 

 tablishment. It is also reported that a 

 part of the structure in the rear will be

 modest sort of man, refuses to confirm 

 this report until the machines are actu- 

 ally in his possession. 



E. T. Wanzer, the carnatioa grower 

 at Wheaton, is superintendent of the 

 floricultural department of the country 

 fair, to be held August 25 to 29. He 

 has induced the management to add a 

 special list of premiums to those ofiPered 

 for plants and cut flowers in the original 

 premium list, and is working for a good 

 display. Emil Buettner, of Park Ridge, 

 is one of the judges. 



Bassett & Washburn are preparing for 

 the dissemination of their new red car- 

 nation, Orland P. Bassett, by planting 

 40,000 plants. They contemplate sending 

 it out at a moderate price, and count on 

 a very large demand.
