direct from actual plans on file in the 

 office. In place of making drawings for 

 the various details, the actual pieces were 

 set up in the factory and photographed. 

 This presents the matter more clearly 

 than drawings could. Although the book 

 is for free distribution to any one who 

 asks, it is said the books cost about $1 

 each to get out. 



H. Van Gelder, manager of the Percy 

 Jones business, experienced a relapse 

 the latter part of last week and again 

 is confined to his home. 



James Hancock, right-hand man for 

 Frank Oechslin, is vacationing in 

 Michigan. 



L. Baumann & Co. say that immor- 

 telles are sky-high in price, owing to 

 the crop failure. They are now try- 

 ing to find a good substitute and be- 

 lieve their quest will be successful soon. 



Pressure of business at the last 

 minute prevented Phil Foley from join- 

 ing the Chicago-to-Baltimore party. In 

 his place he sent Mr. Cassidy, who is 

 quite well known to the eastern grow- 

 ers. 



C. H, Fisk and wife are on the Pa- 

 ific coast, going by way of Los Angeles 



d planning to return over the northern 

 route about September 1. 



H, N. Bruns has been enjoying his 

 week ends at Lake Marie, near Antioch, 

 HI., where his family is summering. Mr. 

 Bruns makes the trip by auto and con- 

 siders it the only satisfactory way to 

 travel.

WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Various Notes. 



Practically all the florists in Wash- 

 ington dropped their various tasks Au- 

 gust 15 and took a special car to Balti- 

 more, wearing badges to designate their 

 affiliation with the business. They num- 

 bered some eighty or more. At Balti- 

 more the program was for the local 

 florists to meet and escort them to the 

 convention hall. 



It is hoped by the Washingtonians 

 that they will have the privilege of 

 entertaining a large number of the visi- 

 tors to Baltimore. They will try to 

 make such visitors feel that this is a

Trade, the retailers say, is quite 

 satisfactory for this time of year. At
