One of the largest jobs of the season 

 was the decoration of St. James church 

 and the residence of the bride, February 

 12, for the Spoor-Broome wedding. The 

 E. Wienhoeber Co., on Elm street, did 

 the decorating and supplied the bou- 

 quets. 



One of last week's visitors was S. S. 

 Skidelsky, of Philadelphia. He says his 

 firm and associates have orders for over 

 200,000 cuttings of Carnation Philadel- 

 phia, of which over 100,000 have been 

 shipped. While the big orders doubt- 

 less are in, the orders for 500 and 1,000 

 are coming in better than ever since the 

 Cleveland convention. Mr. Skidelsky 

 expects the sale to run close to 300,000 

 and is confident the carnation will make 

 good all his claims for it. It gave him 

 much pleasure that after August Poehl- 

 mann and Guy French inspected the va- 

 riety growing, they increased their or- 

 der from 5,000 to 10,000. 



Speaking to E. J. Fancourt and oth- 

 ers Saturday afternoon, John Michelsen 

 said February 13 and 14 were the largest 

 days in February in the history of the 

 E. C. Amling Co. He commented that 

 the sales February 13, which slightly 

 exceeded $2,600, were almost exactly

This is election night with the Cook 

 County Florists' Association. A. C. 

 Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Amling Co., 

 will be succeeded in the presidency, 

 after two terms, by N. P. Miller, of 

 Kennicott Bros. Co. 



That the retail florists as a class are 

 steadily working onto a higher business 

 plane is the belief of C. L. Washburn; 

 He says there has been, in the last few 

 years, a distinct improvement in the 

 average florist's business methods and 

 regard for obligations. 



Working around by way of St. Louis 

 after the Cleveland convention, E. J. 

 Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan 

 Co., Philadelphia, spent several days in 

 town last week. He says he has found 

 florists busy, but not rushed, every- 

 where he has gone. ' ■. HJV ]
