Whitman, Mass. — G. D. Cook has se-

 South avenue, and- will open a flower 

 store. 



JoiiiET, III. — A chrysanthemum show 

 was held on Saturday, October 31, in the 

 store at 110 North Chicago street, for- 

 merly conducted under the name of The 

 Thompson Florist, but now owned by 

 Albert C. Eott. During the day crowds 

 of people visited the store, which was 

 artistically decorated. In the rear of 

 the store a sample of Mr. Rott's table 

 decoration work was in evidence. The 

 center of the table was a mound of or- 

 chids and lilies of the valley.
