Schneider, at Oak Park, Formally Opened October J. which young flower seedlings are to be pricked out. If applied the previous spring or fall, it would be different in its action. C. W. SCHNEIDER EEJUVENATED. A house-warming party October 1, at- tended by a number of Chicago florists and by 3,000 flower-buyers of Oak Park and Eiver Forest, marked the rejuvena- tion of perhaps the oldest extant flo- rist's establishment of those suburbs, that of A. H. Schneider. In 1885, well nigh two score years ago, Mr. Schneider put up the first houses of the range just replaced. He started to rebuild those two this summer and ended by recon- structing the entire range of seven houses and building a spacious brick building to house a store and all the service departments of the store and greenhouses. The result is an establish- ment, of the neatness and arrangement of which Mr. Schneider is, witli good reason, exceedingly proud. The formal opening Saturday, Octo- ber 1, found the place in spick-and-span shape, and Mr. Schneider satisfied to the last degree. Even the heating system had been tried out the day before and ascertained to be in the best of condi- tion. The houses were seen to be well stocked with stock which, considering the handicap of rebuilding, looked quite good. Chrysanthemums, two benches of big varieties for cutting and an assort- ment of pompons for pots, were excep- tionally fine. Nicely fruited cherries and bird's-eye peppers, some good be- gonias and primulas and a wide variety of ferns and other foliage plants were in the benches. The cyclamens were not so well advanced as he would have liked, said Mr. Schneider, ow^ing to the handi- cap of rebuilding and inability to give them sufficient time and care. The looks of the houses showed, however, that things had been and were being pushed along rapidly after the construction work was completed. T
