Mciitinn Trie Review when you write 



lature gives the commission some more 

 authority. 



The town of Maywood, long a flo- 

 rists' center, is to have at least 40,000 

 feet of new glass within the next few 

 months. Paul Weiss is putting up two 

 houses each 25x200, planned for extend- 

 ing later to 400 feet. Wm. Amling will 

 build two houses each 27x300 and Wm. 

 Wichtendahl will put up a house 25x 

 100; with other growers yet to hear 

 from. Albert F. Amling says the May- 

 wood growers had no glimpse of the 

 sun from ground hog day to Februarv 

 18. 



Miss Hertha V. Tonner, John Sinner 

 and several other florists attended the 

 performance of "The Kosary" by the 

 St. Francis Dramatic Club, February 

 19, and report that Miss Martha C. 

 Gunterberg, as Vera, was the hit of the 

 show. The performance is to be re- 

 peated February 26. 



Alex. Henderson, chairman of the 

 program committee of the Florists' 

 Club, states that he has issued a call 

 for a .rose meeting March 2, an invita- 

 tion having been extended to E. G. Hill 

 to deliver an address. Exhibits of the 

 rose novelties are expected. 



Vaughan & Sperry say the buyers 

 have taken kindly to recent shipments 

 of eupatorium. 



Harry Manheim says that if he was 

 not born lucky, he usually gets there 

 in the end just the same. In the pres- 

 ent instance every other member of a 

 suit club beat him to it, but he won 

 out February 20. That night Hoerber 

 Bros, had a shipment of stock from the 

 greenhouses after 8 o'clock that was 

 shipped out of town the same evening. 



Henry Tebbens, 23 years of age, son 

 of Mrs. Barbara Tebbens, who keeps a 

 flower store at 1204 South Ashland ave- 

 nue, was shot February 16 as he was 

 alighting from a street car at Nine- 

 teenth and State streets. His assailant 

 is believed to have been insane. 



C. W. McKellar reports the arrival 

 of the first ten weeks' stocks and says 

 they have been selling well. 



Harry Garland, of the Geo. M. Gar- 

 land Co., Des Plaines, 111., will be mar- 

 ried this evening, February 23, unless, 

 as he says, "something decidedly un- I 

 expected happens. ' ' His bride is Miss |
