@ShayP: 100 points 

Grand Quizmaster ShayP wins yet another quiz and his victories certainly appear to be piling up.  Will he become Grand Quizmaster for the month of October?

@Walks_At_Night: 25 points

I kind of knew that if I used Sam Drucker's name as a floral establishment, that it wouldn't get past that expert of 60's entertainment, WAN, and it certainly didn't.  Actually I came this close (holding up two fingers close together) to naming it Florist Drucker, but then I thought that would be a little too obvious.

@Bobs Your Uncle: 25 points

Mr. Bobs gets another 25 point win by picking Sid's Flower World.  I made that one up by borrowing the first name of a terrific character actor by the name of Sid Melton, who, by the way, also starred with Frank Cady (Sam Drucker) on the comedy series Green Acres.

@Jayzelady: 25 points

Jazylady wins 25 points for pointing out a spelling error on the Boyl & Darnaud Floral Shop name.  She's right, Mr. Boyle has an e at the end of his name.  Just goes to show that no matter how hard my team of experts (made up of producers, directors, doctors, lawyers, physicists and Mrs. Thompson) strive for accuracy, an occasional error will occur on a quiz.

Adolphe gave up hope in the fall of 1929 for finding his blue-eyed Rose.  :'(  Adolphe had visited 1,499 churches.  :o
