182 North Wabash Avenue L. D. Phone, Randolph esi CHICAGO HEAVY SUPPLY OF EXTRA FINE QUALITY STOCK Complete line of all seasonable Cut Flowers and Greens—Remember— If it's in the Chicago Market we have it. Try us on those famous quality Milady and Russell Roses, Chrysanthemums, Pompons, etc. Paul Kling-sporn, manag-er of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, A. Bensen, of the Lombard Floral Co., and Fred Stielow, of Stielow Bros. Co., visited the growers at Richmond, Ind., November 3, where Hill's novelty rose. Premier, was the center of attraction. Mr. Bensen and Mr. Stielow liked the variety so well after they inspected it growing, that they placed good-sized orders for stock immediately. Tom Kidwell, son of J. F. Kidwell, who was with the 108th Engineers in France, has been ordered back to this country to take up special training at West Point. He is one of the many men in the trade who is making good, and it is a pleasure to note that the florists are easily holding their own in making the world safe for democracy. John Ziska, of Joseph Ziska & Sons, is strutting about the store this week as proud of a peacock. One of the cus- tomens asked one of the men what "the dickens" John was so chesty about. He an.swered : "It's a brand new girl." A. L. Vaughan & Co. are strong on boxwood this season, which is arriving I in good-sized quantities at regular pe- riods. The demand for it is good, and a large number of bunches are sold daily. Kyle & Foerster are pleasing their trade with very choice Milady roses, which they are offering in quantity. J. Fred Wuestenhoff, of the Zech & Mann force, is rejoicing over the ar- rival of .a baby girl. Mrs. Frank Bruns gave birth to a baby girl this week. She is a daughter of J. P, Kidwell.
