Miss Bell Story, daughter of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Edward H. Story, of Story & Clark, 

 the well known piano people, and Edgar 

 B. Washburn, son of C. L. Washburn, 

 were married Wednesday evening, Octo- 

 ber 20, in St. Paul's Episcopal church at 

 Riverside. A reception followed, at the 

 residence of the bride's parents. The

 self spend the winter in California. 



Laurids Neilson, rose grower for Peter 

 Keinberg, lias invented a paraffin sulphur 

 lozenge and burner that are said to be 

 effective as a remedy for mildew, and is 

 now placing them on the market. The 

 lozenges bum shiwiy in the specially 

 devised burner and each lozenge fumi- 

 gates 3,000 feet of glass. They are 

 said to have met with much success wher- 

 ever tried. 



The debutante season opened October 

 15 at Lake Forest with three large af- 

 fairs. Frank Pasternick went out with 

 three wagon-loads of bouquets for the E. 

 "Wicnhoeber Co., and Samuelson and 



Fleischman each sent men, while several 

 others had good orders. 



J. C. Enders, secretary of the Whole- 

 sale Florists' Employees' Club, says the 

 way the tickets are selling for the fourth 

 annual reception and ball, to be given 

 at Columbia hall, on the evening of Oc- 

 tober 27, indicates the most successful 

 affair the club ever has given. Being 

 assured of a large attendance, the club 

 is leaving nothing undone which will add 

 to the pleasures of its guests. 



Poehlniann Bros. Co. has just bought 

 fifteen additional acres adjoining Plant 

 B, at Morton Grove. On the property 

 is a large farmhouse, which it is intended 

 to turn into a boarding-house for the em- 

 ])loyees. The company is planning to 

 build some 800-foot houses next season. 



Weiland & Risch are showing at the 

 store a few blooms of a seedling rose 

 raised on their place. It is white tinted 

 pink and is a marvel for size and full- 

 ness of flower. They now have only two 

 plants but ^^ill work up some stock. 



Peter Reinberg and Mrs. Reinberg 

 went to Dubuque, la., October 13, to 

 attend a silver wedding anniversary of 

 some friends. They returned October 18.

 phone, the thirteenth on its private

John Zech, who has quite a bit of 



trade in New Orleans and was down there 

 last year, says that it really is All Souls' 

 day that calls for flowers there, although 

 All Saints' day gets the credit.

 steadily increasing.

 from the indisposition caused by a se- 

 vere coid. 



F. Stielow, at Niles Center, is schI- 

 ing Kennicott Bros. Co. Mrs. George S. 

 Kalb chrysanthemums. E. E. Pie-or 

 says this -is his favorite variety, partly 

 for the reason that if it wilts dc ii 

 through too much heat or bad air, cutti'ig 

 off the stems and setting away in a c ■*' 

 place will cause it to come back and l' '^ 

 as fresh as ever,
