the recently organized Lake Shore 

 Horticultural Society and was the prin- 

 cipal prize-winner at its first exhibition, 

 held August 6, at the Winnetka Com- 

 munity house. Of the gardeners from 

 Lake Forest who exhibited, E. 0. Orpet, 

 gardener to H. F. McCormick, was the 

 leader. 



Miss Anna Grace Sawyer, proprietor 

 of the Paney Flower Shop, at 4042 West 

 Madison street, has returned from a 

 vacation spent at Lake Geneva. While 

 there she attended the annual exhibi- 

 tion of the local gardener-s' club and 

 says it gave her fresh enthusiasm for 

 the summer flowers. 



E. E. Pieser says he never before has 

 seen a time when the choice varieties 

 of gladioli were not salable at a pre- 

 mium. He regards it as unprecedented 

 that Niagara and others of that class 

 should have to be sold with the mixed 

 lots. 



Frank M, Johnson, of the A. L. 

 Randall Co., left August 8 on his east- 

 ern trip, accompanied by Mrs. Johnson. 

 This week is being spent in supply 

 centers at Philadelphia and New York. 

 They will be in Boston next week. Ed 

 Galavan, who is Mr. Johnson's right- 

 hand man, returned last week from his 

 wedding trip to New York. 



Erne & Klingel say sales are running 

 about as usual in August, but that much 

 more stock is handled to make the 

 total. 



Miss Thelma Vaughan, daughter of 

 Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Vaughan, is visit- 

 ing Miss Dorothy Lynch, daughter of 

 Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Lynch, at Hatfield, 

 Mass. The families were neighbors for 

 many years before Mr. Lynch and Mr. 

 Vaughan were associated in business. 



A cablegram was received August 10 

 from A. Henderson, stating that he 

 arrived safely at Botterdam, Holland, 

 but found everything in excited con- 

 dition. If possible he will proceed to 

 England, otherwise he will return, sail- 

 ing August 15. A. Miller states three 

 carloads of French bulbs have been 

 shipped west and a shipment has been 

 received of Chinese lilies and Bermuda- 

 grown Purity freesia. 



If every concern does as well as the 

 McNeff-Swenson Co., whose specialty is 

 florists ' advertising matter, to swell the 

 crowd at Boston, this will be a banner 

 convention. The company will have 

 an exhibit and will be represented by 

 L, D. McNeflF, H. V. Swenson, B. L. 

 ZoU and A. F. Longren.
