FANCY EASTER LILIES 



While we always have been well situated to supply Lilies, this summer we are in better shape than ever before. 

 These Lilies are grown in a cool climate, giving keeping and shipping qualities exceeding anything we ever have had in 

 Lilies. Cut half developed, so as to reach you in perfect condition. Supply large and steady. Can furnish any quantity. 



Also Choice Rubrums in Large Supply, and Auratums. 



GLADIOLI in All Colors 



We are prepared to furnish Augusta (white), Mrs. King (red) or A.merica (light pink), separate colors in any 

 quantity, or mixed unnamed varieties if wanted. This is fine stock— much better than the Glads that brought more 

 money earlier in the season, before the recent rains. Send along your orders— you can use this stock in quantity.

Mr. Wienhoeber is the youngest son of 

 the president of the company, who laid 

 its foundation on Elm street, near the 

 aristocratic Lake Shore drive, in 1877. 

 The young man, after completing his 

 college course, has taken a practical 

 course in the flower business, first with 

 a leading Pittsburg retailer and for the 

 last year with Alex. McConnell, in New 

 York, where the millionaires delight to 

 trade. Mr. McConnell has spoken highly 

 of Mr. Wienhoeber 's capacity and 

 prospects. 



Testimonial to Beinberg. 



Pinning a five-pointed diamond star 

 on the coat of Alderman Peter Eeinberg 

 July 27, Mayor Harrison said: "The 

 gold in this badge is not purer than 

 your heart, and the gems are not more 

 brilliant than the smile with which you 

 greet your friends. If the people of 

 Chicago appreciate you at your true 

 worth as a man and as a public official 

 you will hold a much higher office than 

 you do now." 



This was said in the presence of 250 

 democrats, mostly from the Twenty- 

 sixth ward, who had gathered in the 

 grillroom of Vogelsang's at a testi- 

 monial banquet, of which the presenta- 

 tion of the badge was the climax. There 

 were many flowery speeches. J. F. 

 Mclnerney caused the diners to rise en 

 masse when he predicted that Peter 

 Reinberg would be the next democratic 

 governor of Illinois. 



July Weather. 



Taking .July as a whole, the mean 

 temperature was exactly the same as in 

 July, 1910, but it came about through 

 the first part of the month being much 

 warmer than usual, with temperatures up 

 to 102 degrees, while the latter part of 

 the month was cooler than usual, with a 

 minimum temperature of 53 degrees. 

 The rainfall was only 2.65 inches, or 

 about an inch less than the average 

 amount. The percentage of possible sun- 

 shine was seventy-five, or just about 

 normal.

thing was in perfect readiness and prac- 

 tically every buyer who visited the mar- 

 ket called at the new establishment to 

 inspect its facilities and receive the 

 glad hand from Manager Frese and the 

 directors of the institution, who acted 

 as a reception committee. There were 

 smokes and much good-fellowship. It 

 is said that the first order received by 

 the company came from C. P. Mueller, 

 Wichita, Kan., and the first consign- 

 ment from Wellworth Farms, Downers 

 Grove, 111. An enthusiastic meeting of 

 the stockholders was held Monday
