Ilolton & Hunkel Co., Milwaukee, is 

 consigning mums to this market. 



Chicago has only a few colored flo- 

 rists, but the number was increased last 

 week, when Woodfolk, father and son, 

 opened the store at ;{.37 East Thirty- 

 ninth street as the Boulevard Florist. 



September 20 was the fifth anniver- 

 sary of Kyle & Foerster's start in busi- 

 ness. C. "Lizzie" Loeser, formerly

 factory of the Chicago Feed & Fertilizer

 nance requiring the clearing of side- 

 walks in the loop district. The Mc-

 will get here in spite of war 's alarms. 



The largest of H. (,'. Blewitt's hou-ses
