ERNE&KLINGEL 30 East Randolph Street, 7^ mntVatZh'Isrs CHICAGO, ILL. Kansas City, Mo. COMMENCEMENT FLOWEES BIG FACTOR. Business in all lines has been good, and the orders for flowers for com- mencements have kept everybody busy, the bouquets being larger both in num- ber and size than usual. Funeral work also has been heavy. There is still a good demand for plants for baskets and boxes. The greenhousemen are busy filling the houses with stock for fall. NOTES. The Alpha Floral Co. reports an ex- cellent trade. This firm ha^ been ex- ceptionally busy with orders for com- mencement flowers and a record break- ing business in wedding arrangements seems assured. Shipping trade is also good. The Wm. L. Rock Flower Co. is kept busy with funeral and wedding orders, in addition to several large contracts for commencement bouquets. Red roses and lily of the valley were used in quantities. One of the most attractive displays of the week was noted in Arthur Newell's window—a clever arrange- ment of Ward roses and blue del- phiniums. H. Kusik & Co. report a good week's business. Two consignments of 3,000 gladioli and a large number of roses, together with other stoclf, cleaned up nicely. Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. reports splendid trade in all depart- ments. Stock at this establishment is plentiful and the quality excellent. Commencement orders were a big factor in Ed. Humfeld's sales. Wed- dings and funerals also add to the rush at this establishment. W. J. Barnes' force has been very busy with orders for commencements, weddings, funerals and spring plant- ing of boxes and baskets. Miss Lou Boggess is the busiest lady florist in the city. She handled an exceptionally large number of orders during the week. Chas.
