to (late, which aggregate many more 

 thousands of dozens, represents the 

 Memorial day supply, a total so great 

 that the disposal of it within three 

 selling days is a task which, if suc- 

 cessfully accomplished, will afford a 

 splendid fresh illustration of the 

 breadth of the Chicago market and 

 especially the shipping department, for 

 Memorial day is essentially a day of 

 country business. 



Various Notes. 



One of the wholesale houses reports 

 having thirty customers that do busi- 

 ness under some such name as the So 

 and So Greenhouses and that endless 

 confusion results from telegraph orders 

 coming signed with the name of the 

 proprietor or manager instead of the 

 business name. Otto W. Frese sug- 

 gests that if a man chooses to trade 

 as the Podunk Greenhouses he ought 

 to stick to that title instead of wiring 

 orders signed "John Smith." 



Ernst Wienhoeber has sold his win- 

 ter residence at 1642 La Salle avenue 

 and May 25 removed permanently to 

 his summer home at Highland Park. 



Kyle & Foerster report that Quincy 

 peony growers were right in the midst 

 of the peony cut at the opening of 



this week and that Klehm's Nurseries 

 are cutting Old Red at their Indiana 

 farm. 



Lewis H. Winterson is greatly wor- 

 ried over Mrs. Winterson 's health. 

 Following her operation a few months 

 ago she gained strength rapidly and 

 even had been downtown shopping, but 

 May 25 she suffered a relapse, two 

 physicians being in the house when Mr. 

 Winterson got word of it. 



W. J. Smyth is driving a new 6-cyl- 

 inder Pierce Arrow touring car that 

 fairly flies up and down Michigan ave- 

 nue. 



George Pieser, who has been with 

 the E. F. Winterson Co. since leaving 

 Hoerber Bros., May 25 succeeded John 

 Starrett as florist at the Hotel La 

 Salle. 



The State Bank of Oak Park, of 

 which E. C. Amling is president, will 

 open for business June 1. Several flo- 

 rists have signified their intention of 

 opening accounts that day. The new 

 bank starts with $125,000 capital and 

 surplus. 



A. T. Pyfer says he never has seen 

 anything like the orders for carnations 

 that have come in during the last week. 

 He says it was impossible for the 

 Chicago Carnation Co. to accept all

the business offered. They will cut 

 peonies at Joliet next week. 



Arthur Weatherwax, buyer at 

 Smyth's, has nearly recovered from the 

 injuries received in a street car col- 

 lision a month ago. He was badly cut 

 about the face and is minus three teeth. 



They always were a lucky lot at 

 Zech & Mann's, but the luckiest of 

 them all is the new packer, Ed Viltor, 

 who picked up a 20-doIlar bill on his 

 way to work May 25. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co., Batavia, 

 only forty miles from Chicago, cut Old 

 Red peonies May 28. 



E. R. Chappell was in town last week 

 on his way from Portland, Ore., to his 

 old home at Richmond, Va. For a 

 number of years Mr. Chappell was with 

 C. A. Samuelson, but since 1908 he has 

 been in the retail store of Clarke Bro?., 

 Portland.
