Chicago Carnation Co., is ill and ap- 

 pendicitis is feared. 



George Asmus says that at the store 

 of Schiller The Florist, 112 customers 

 were waited on Sunday morning, and 

 yet some people say there is not much 

 doing in the retail way. 



At the store of Kennicott Bros. Co. it 

 was reported that Mrs. E. E. Pieser was 

 in St. Luke's hospital, where she will 

 be operated on April 18. 



The Civil Service Board of the West 

 Park Commissioners will hold another 

 examination April 26, this time for 

 florists for positions that pay from 

 $2.25 to $2.50 per day. The secretary- 

 is disappointed at the number of appli- 

 cants for park jobs. 



A meeting of the premium committee 

 of the Horticultural Society was held 

 April 11 to prepare a list for the exhi- 

 bition authorized next spring. The com- 

 mittee found, however, some difficulty 

 because of an unfortunate combina- 

 tion of dates: To have the show be- 

 fore the early Easter brings it too 

 early to have the stock ready, and to 

 hold the show after Easter brings it 

 in conflict with the National Flower 

 Show. 



Gus Swanson has bought the glass 

 and has the material men figuring on 

 15,000 feet of houses which he intends 

 to put up at Eiver Forest, to be ready 

 by August 15, when his lease on the L. 

 Hansen place on Ridge avenue expires. 

 Mr. Swanson denies the allegation thai 

 he has made his fortune in three years' 

 tenancy of these houses, which his 

 brother ran for some years before him. 



Phil Schupp, of J. A. Budlong 's, says 



Ribbons 



For Church Weddings, Home Weddings,

Florists' Designs 



of all kinds, ribbons that fit in beautifully 

 and attractively with your work, are the 

 Pine Tree line.

 the factory; they contain more silk to the 

 square yard than any similar priced rib- 

 bons in America. We have them in every 

 width that you possibly need. ChiflFons

that an increase in the demand for

 that the illness of A. C. Rott, of J.oliet, 



has prevented Mr. Rott's attendance 

 at his store for several days.
