Varioua Notes. 



The use of corrugated paper boxes for 

 express shipments of cut flowers, a com- 

 paratively new thing, has been so gen- 

 erally adopted that the Sefton Mfg. Co, 

 reports this department of its factory 

 IS having some difficulty in keeping pace 

 with orders. 



Webster Randall has been ill a few 

 days— tobacco heart, the doctor said, and 

 limited him to three smokes a day. 



Frank OechsUn is looking forward to 

 an extremely busy fortnight. His stock 

 or plants is larger than ever, and the 



quality also is uniformly fine, for Mr. 

 OechsUn is a believer in that oriental 

 custom, the destrhction of the weaklings. 



The big special Thanksgiving edition 

 of the Christian Science Monitor, a Bos- 

 ton daily newspaper, contained a Chi- 

 cago supplement in which there appeared 

 the advertisements of four Chicago re- 

 tail florists, H. N. Bruns, J. F. Kidwell 

 & Bro., C. A. Samuelson and Schiller. 



A. C. Spencer says that he had made 

 up his mind that the first part of Decem- 

 ber was going to be decidedly dull, but 

 that he has been happily disappointed; 



business took a boost December 3 and 

 has been good. 



Miss Minnie Wattman, who presides 

 over E. C. Amling's money-box and 

 books, has been off duty for several days 

 because of illness. 



It is current report that the retail 

 florists have now perfected a permanent 

 organization, with Lovelace E. Bohannon 

 at its head and Herbert Craig secretary, 

 but when asked for the facts for pub- 

 lication Mr. Bohannon said he was too 

 busy to talk, see Mr. Craig, and Mr. 

 Craig declined to say anything at all. A 

 circular letter has been prepared defining 

 certain classes of buyers and orders as 

 legitimately belonging to the retailers 

 rather than anyone else. 



Frank Ziska, who has spent twenty- 

 six years in the wire business with hiis 

 brother, Joseph Ziska, of the Chicago 

 Rose Co., is opening a retail flower store 

 at Twelfth street and Forty-third avenue. 



It is reported that the cold snap 

 caught John Evert 's Sunday cut of 

 chrysanthemums stored in an unheated 

 shed. 



A. E. Hunt, who has a stand in the 

 Flower Growers' Market, says there was 

 an error in the official list of awards 

 given out for the Milwaukee flower shows 

 He says that the award reported as hav- 

 ing been made to Bassett & Washburn
