fare, and J. H. McNeilly has two places 

 where he combines the sale of candies, 

 ice cream and flowers. 



This is the first year since A. T. 

 Pyfer assumed the management of the 

 Chicago Carnation Co. that he has not 

 attended the S. A. F. convention. This 

 season he not only has to look after the 

 Joliet establishment, but he has the 

 financial responsibility for the new 

 firm of Pyfer & Olsem. 



Klehm's Nurseries is this week 

 cleaning up the last of the June cut of 

 peonies. They have kept wonderfully 

 well, although the tail end of the crop, 

 marketed in the last fortnight, scarcely 

 would do for anything but funeral 

 work. Kyle & Foerster say that peonies 

 have sold as well as anything else dur- 

 ing July and August. It would have 

 been possible to clean them up sooner, 

 but Mr. Klehm wished to experiment 

 with the last few hundreds of dozens 

 to see how long they would keep and 

 how the market would take them. 



C. G. Anderson, manager of the plant 

 department of Poehlmann Bros. Co., has 

 returned to Morton Grove after a pleas- 

 ant vacation in Wisconsin. 



Ove Gnatt, the perpetuator of nat- 

 ural foliages, was a visitor from Ham- 

 mond, Ind., last week. He views the 

 war with great equanimity. 



The members of the firm of Zech & 

 Mann are both at the convention this 

 week, leaving Ollie Zech and Fred 

 Ottenbacher in charge of the store. 

 Messrs. Zech and Mann will vacation a 

 bit after the trade gathering. 



With gladioli so cheap, John Mangel 

 keeps the interior of his plate glass 

 auto decorated with them for advertis- 

 ing purposes. The car looks like a cir- 

 cus wagon going down the street. 



O. Johnson, of the Batavia Green- 

 house Co., says that only one-fourth 

 the Beauty plants are being cut from, 

 the other three-fourths being run dry 

 for a later crop. 



Frank Oechslin is concerned over the 

 question of the supply of azaleas this 

 year. He imports a larger number of 

 plants than any other grower in this 

 locality and conditions in Belgium, 

 from newspaper reports, do not seem 

 encouraging. 



Joe PoUworth, who joined the A. L. 

 Randall staff August 1, says he has 

 greatly enjoyed getting back into the 

 florists' supply business after having 

 been engaged in other lines for three 

 years. 



C. W. McKellar says that he has at 

 last got rid of the carpenters, plasterers 

 and painters who have shared his new

John P. Degnan, of Winterson's 

 Seed Store, comments that a number 

 of growers have bought Boman hya-

 will soon be in unusual demand as a 

 substitute for valley. 



Mrs. P. S. Peterson, 70 years of age, 

 widow of the founder of the Peterson 

 Nursery, is ill in Ravenswood hospital. 



E. C. Amling and F. S. Webb, man- 

 ager of the Wholesale Florists* Credit 

 Association, attended the meeting of 

 the creditors of the H. A. Fisher Co., 

 at Kalamazoo, August 14. 



Mrs. S. Linden will open her new 

 store at 828 East Forty-seventh street 

 August 22. She has decided to sell her 

 other stand, believing two stores will 

 prove too much to manage.
