the fish sell rapidly and in addition 

 attract attention to his regular stock 

 of plants and flowers. Mr. Bruns is 

 supplied by the Auburndale Goldfish 

 Co., 920 West Randolph street, who re- 

 cently stated that they are now re- 

 ceiving many orders for aquariums, 

 globes, etc., from florists who are pre- 

 paring for the goldfish season, which 

 opens about September 1.

 prominent figure at last week's Knights

Wm. F. Gude, of Washington, D. C, 

 who also is up at the top, was another 

 conclave visitor.

Various Notes. 

 The annual picnic of the Springfield 

 P'lorists' Club has in former years been 

 a "stag" affair, with refreshments and 

 program of sports to correspond, but 

 the number able to attend on any given 

 date has never been such as to make 

 anything like a crowd. Hence it was 

 thought advisable to change the plan 

 this season and make it conform to the 

 custom which seems to prevail through- 

 out the country, as shown by the fre- 

 quent illustrations appearing in the 

 trade papers, and it was decided to in- 

 vite the ladies and thus enhance the 

 quality and at the same time add to 

 the number of participants. Accord- 

 ingly, on Thursday, August 11, the 

 florists, with their wives, daughters and 

 sweethearts to the number of thirty 

 odd, boarded an electric car for Indian 

 lake, minus the customary picnic basket, 

 as it was thought better to take dinner 

 at one of the numerous summer hotels 



rather than be hampered with lugg.age 

 and the usual muss of serving a cold 

 lunch. Upon arrival, motor boats were 

 secured and a splendid three-hour trip 

 was enjoyed, Clark's island and other 

 points of interest about the lake being 

 visited. After this ride, the party sepa- 

 rated into groups for bathing, rowing, 

 fishing, etc., according to individual in- 

 clinations. A thoroughly enjoyable day 

 was spent and a similar plan will doubt- 

 less be followed in succeeding yeajs, 

 with a gradually increased attendance 

 of both members and ladies. 



The committee appointed to prepare 

 a premium list and take charge of the 

 proposed November flower show has 

 concluded to abandon the project for 

 this year. The reason assigned is that 

 the local retailers do not appear to get 

 together with a sufficient degree of in- 

 terest and unanimity to make such a 

 show a success. This will prove a dis- 

 appointment to the Y. W. C. A., whose 

 directors had agreed to furnish a suit- 

 able room and work up a big attend- 

 ance. 



Charles Schmidt, of the Schmidt & 

 Botley Co., recently completed a bunga- 

 low on the company's nursery lands 

 south of town, and, with his family, has 

 been spending a brief summer vacation 

 at this point, which has the advantage 

 of a small running stream. 



Owing to the constantly increasing 

 demand for its roses, which has com- 

 pelled the growing of an additional 

 100,000 plants each year since the start 

 in 1904, the Lcedle Floral Co. has found 

 it necessary again to add to its capa- 

 city and is now completing the erection 

 of three new houses, which cover a 

 space 67x180 feet. These are of 

 Dietsch construction and connect with 

 the present range of houses 21x162 feet. 

 The outer slopes on the north, west and 

 south sides are carried down to a low 

 cement wall by the use of 16foot roof 

 bars. A portion of the benches are of 

 the usual wood construction, the re- 

 mainder being ground benches with an 

 18-inch cement wall, the latter being 

 adapted for the wintering of two-year- 

 old roses in 4-inch pots. Ge Dale.

hospital, ill with typhoid fever.
