Variotss Notes. 



Robert J. Windier has issued a neat 

 copyrighted book on flowers. He has a 

 well kept place at 2300 South Grand 

 avenue, and reports a good business in 

 all lines since the holidays. 



Dr. R. Francis, president of the 

 Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co., has 

 been chosen one of the vice-presidents of 

 the American Forestry Association. 



James Lahey, a landscape gardener 

 well known among the local trade, ended 

 his own life by swallowing poison Fri- 

 day, January 15. His wife disappeared 

 a few days before and this is thought to 

 be the cause of his act. 



Louisa M. Halstead, daughter of A. S. 

 Halstead, of Belleville, and John Wesley 

 Cornell, of Detroit, were married Sun- 

 day, January 10. The happy couple left 

 for Detroit the same night, where they 

 will make their home. 



Those from out of town who attended 

 the club meeting Thursday afternoon 

 were: Henry Johann, Collinsville ; J. F. 

 Ammann, Edwardsville ; E. W. Guy and 

 Henry Emunds, Belleville; Edwin Denk- 

 er, St. Charles; John Connon, Webster 

 Grove; W. J. Pilcher, Kirkwood; Frank 

 Weber and John Steidle, Central. 



The St. Clair Floral Co., of Belleville, 

 furnished the decorations for the big 

 joint installation of officers of the 

 Knights of Pythias of Belleville and 

 nearby towns. 



Henry Kahrs, who bought out the 

 John Burke store, reports that he had a 

 big week's business. The place has been 

 altered and makes a much better appear- 

 ance than the old one. 



W. C. Young, of the C. Young & Sons 

 Co., reports that the firm has sold sixty 

 feet of ground on Kingsbury boulevard 

 for $150 per foot and will keep on sell- 

 ing the place in lots and eventually move 

 the plant out west, past the city limits. 

 W. C. Young, Jr., has given up his posi- 

 tion in the wholesale grocery business and 

 will enter the employ of C. Young & Sons 

 Co. at the greenhouses. 



Quite a few of our local as well as 

 suburban florists will visit Indianapolis 

 next week and attend the meeting of the 

 American Carnation Society. 



Monday night, January 11, the great 



snowstorm kept many of the florist bowl- 

 ers at home, especially the older ones, but 

 the cold night had no terrors for the 

 younger class and quite a few braved the 

 weather. 



Visitors: F. F. Lembke, of the W. W. 

 Barnard Co., Chicago; Julius Dillhof, of 

 Schloss Bros., New York. 



Bowling. 



The florist bowlers had a good time 



Please discoatinue our advertise- 

 ment in the Classified Department of 



the one offering to exchange plumosus 

 for geraniums. Please don't let it 

 appear again; we have had replies 

 from Maine and from California, as 

 well as from close at home, and are 

 completely cleaned out
