at Lansing, Mich., last week and gave a 

 hand to Phil Breitmeyer, of Detroit, who 

 was there with a force of men to do two 

 special wedding decorations. 



When four fair maids from "The 

 Midnight Girl" company expressed a 

 desire to help fill the Herald 's Christmas 

 ship, A. I. Simmons, of 242 West Sixty- 

 third street, contributed 250 roses, 400 

 carnations and 100 other flowers. With 

 these, the girls raised $44 in an hour 

 October 13, selling them from Will 

 Singer's touring car at La Salle and 

 Adams street. 



At Winterson's Seed Store it is said 

 retail bulb sales are surprisingly good, 

 considering that soft-wooded stock still 

 is blooming in the beds. 



John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says, "Blame Jack Frost, not Em- 

 peror William, ' ' if business is dull. 



The Nelson-Le Moon truck Anton Then 

 has used the last few months is giving 

 him much satisfaction. He uses it for 

 delivering wholesale orders as well as 

 ior the retail store. 



Walter W. Adams still makes the 

 claim that his is the only flower store 

 in Chicago that has no icebox and says 

 the assertion that his flowers "haven't 

 been kept" is a strong selling card. 



Hilmer V. Swenson, of the McNeff- 

 Swenson Co., says Iowa florists are look- 

 ing for the biggest season yet, because 

 of the crops, and are geting ready for 

 it. Mr, Swenson recently has been in 

 the grain states selling advertising spe- 

 cialties to the trade. 



L. Coatsworth is stock salesman for 

 the Safety Projector & Film Co. and is 

 seeking to interest florists in the con- 

 cern. 



M. C. Gunterberg reports a big in- 

 crease in business during the last fort- 

 night, due to receipts of mums being 

 much heavier than usual in October. 

 With arrivals so heav^, prices are lower. 



The summer was the best Sinner Bros, 

 ever have had, according to John Sinner, 

 but he says October is running far be- 

 hind because of lower prices without a 

 compensating increase in production. 



George V. Wienhoeber, of the Fleisch- 



raan Floral Co., says there is no reason 

 to complain of business. Sali^s have not 

 quite come up to the early autumn of 

 1913, but that was an unusually good 

 season, making a record hard to beat. 

 Business now is considerably ahead of 

 1912 and all previous years. 



Julius Zschau, now at 29 East One 

 Hundred and Second street, is buildinf,' a 

 store at 10953 Michigan avenue. He 

 expects to be able to move in about the 

 middle of November. 



Charles A. Johnson, once the Limits 

 florist and later at Chillicothe, O., a^l 

 Roswell, N. M., has joined the staff of 

 George Perdikas while he is looking ^ or 

 another chance to go into business lor 

 himself. 



E, Wienhoeber, who is noted for 'liS 

 conservatism, says business of late 1 as 

 been excellent, recent Saturdays havi ig 

 brought about all the work that co' Id 

 be handled. Several October days hi'^'e 

 given sales totals as high as the st^re 

 ever gets in ordinary times.
