Julius Zschau, a grower at 29 East 

 One Hundred and Second street, says 

 that the retail store at 11140 Michigan 

 avenue has done so well in the last 

 year that be is unable to do any ship- 

 ping to the Chicago wholesalers. He 

 has completed another new hofise, whict 

 will be used for carnations. His only 

 ■;omplaint is the scarcity of help. 



E. F. Winterson, Jr., will celebrate 

 his twenty-first birthday anniversary 

 September 11. 



John Vander Wal, 10421 Michigan 

 avenue, reports sttfck in the best of 

 shape and says he has already started 

 to cut a crop of Smith's Advance 

 mums; about 8,000 will be ready within 

 a short time. Enchantress has been 

 dropped, but a big planting of other 

 varieties is making good progress and 

 should be in crop in two weeks or so. 



E. F. Winterson reports that W. N. 

 Rudd began cutting chrysanthemums at 

 the end of last week. 



Combining the florists' business with 

 building flying machines appeals to 

 Fred Quasthoff, Jr., and his brother, 

 Carl, who have constructed a Quasthoff 

 monoplane and will take it to West 

 Pullman for a flight sometime this 

 fall. They expect to build a Curtis 

 biplane this winter. Both boys have 

 been students of aeronautics for a long 

 time and are sons of Fred Quasthoff, 

 the retailer at <812 East Forty-sixth 

 street. 



WUliam Kidwoll, who has a large 

 retail business at 929 East Forty-third 

 street, states that trade has become 

 more brisk on the south side and bo-

sides funeral work he reports a number 

 of large weddings that helped make 

 the month of September a banner one. 

 October started off fine, he adds. 



The two florists' organizations will 

 be in session tonight, October 10. The 

 Chicago Florists' Club will hold its 

 monthly meeting at the Union. The 

 Cook County Florists' Association will 

 have a ladies' night, with vaudeville 

 and a dollar dinner at the Tavern. 



According to J. W. Breakey, 3907 

 Cottage Grove avenue, the demand for 

 baskets for funerals is growing and 

 he predicts that designs will be a thing 

 of the past in a few years. 



Frank Schramm, of Arlington Heights, 

 is able to be about again after an ill- 

 ness that kept him in bed for ten 

 weeks; a re''urrence of the old trouble 

 with his leg Ile-is cutting carnations
