 committee that handled the 1912 S. A. F.

 was in town several days last week on 

 his way home from New York and Bos- 

 ton. He wired his people to ship some 

 of the roses he grows under the name 

 of Mignon, and after a five days' trip 

 the flowers were put on sale in the store 

 of the E. C. Amling Co., March 21. 

 The leading retailers snapped up the 

 novelty on sight. 



A. L. Bandall returned from his an- 

 nual outing at West Baden in time for

 day's sales were cut in two by the 

 storm. 



Winterson's Seed Store reports that 

 counter trade began promptly the mo- 

 ment the calendar showed the arrival 

 of spring, but that the bad weather has 

 made the increase slow. 



Tim Matchen so overworked at Peter 

 Beinberg's during the Easter rush that 

 he was not able to come to the store 

 either of the first two days of this 

 week. 



W. J. Smyth had a big funeral Mon- 

 day morning after Easter, keeping the

 ing, after the night work of Easter. 



A, Paquette, formerly of Cleveland, 

 now is with the Atlas Floral Co. 



The Spring Flower Show, to open 

 April 1 in the Art Institute, is being 

 extensively advertised. The attendance

that a good showing will be made, espe- 

 cially of roses and carnations, which 

 now are plentiful in the market.

 parks of Minneapolis, vice-president of 

 the S. A. F. and chairman of the con-

 opened a store in the Atlas block, next 

 door to the Chicago Carnation Co., have 

 secured the services of Willie Abraham- 

 son as salesman in the department spe- 

 cializing on florists' refrigerators. He 

 assumed his new duties just before 

 Easter and reports having already made 

 some good sales. Mr. Abrahamson was 

 formerly with P. Jones, a florist, and is 

 well known and liked in the trade. 



Anton C. Zvolanek is in town on his 

 way to New York from Lompoc, Cal., 

 visiting local sweet pea growers.
