ture theater, accompanied by a number 

 of ladies, where an hour was spent most 

 enjoyably in listening to Mr. Vincent's 

 account of the London flower show, il- 

 lustrated by extremely good colored 

 lintern slides. Mr. Vincent also showed 

 a number of views of other European 

 shows and scenes of horticultural in 

 terest. 



Various Notes. 



J. H. McNeilly, the Woodlawn caterer- 

 florist, was summoned to appear before 

 Chief Factory Inspector Edgar T. 

 Davies this week and explain an al- 

 leged violation of the child labor law. 



George C. Hartung, in Kensington, 

 says he had a good business in bloom- 

 ing plants at Thanksgiving, with cut 

 flower sales slow. 



K. N. Cooper, manager of the Au- 

 burndale Goldfish Co., has returned 

 from a trip east and says goldfish are 

 becoming decidedly popular as a side 

 line for florists. The force is working 

 nights to keep up with orders. 



The Raedlein Basket Co. reports that 

 apparently baskets are being more 

 generally used this season than in the 

 past, as it is taxing them to the limit 

 to fill orders. 



Material for seven houses will be 

 shipped during January to C. A. Ben- 

 son, Denver, Colo., by the A. Dietsch 

 Co. 



J. P. Sinner is rapidly recovering 

 from the case of blood poisoning which 

 cost him the fingers of his right hand, 

 and is able to be about again. As soon 

 as practical he will again take full 

 charge of the growing end of Sinner 

 Bros., leaving his brother, John Sinner, 

 free to take care of the downtown mar- 

 ket store. 



M. C. Gunterberg is displaying a 

 bandaged hand as a result of having it 

 caught in the safe as the door was 

 being closed. The thumb was badly 

 crushed, but nevertheless it fails to in- 

 terrupt her attention to business duties. 

 She is looking for a record-breaking 

 Christmas trade. 



There was a celebration, December 

 11, at the home of Ernst Weiss, Elm- 

 hurst, the occasion being the birthday 

 anniversary of that proficient carna- 

 tion grower. Many in the trade were 

 present. 



Lubliner & Trinz are preparing to 

 open a moving picture theater at Forty- 

 seventh street and Prairie avenue, with 

 a seating capacity of 1,000. Their Mil- 

 waukee house is leased to other man- 

 agers this season. 



L. Baumann & Co. are keeping the 

 express com]>anips busy hauling away
