 a half interest in the business. 



The Anderson Floral Co. has closed its

 demolished. The fixtures were sold to 

 Geo. Perdikas, at 286 Wabash avenue. 



The closing of the Floralia and the 

 Anderson Floral Co., and the removal of 

 Fleisehman, reduced the competition just 

 one-half in the vicinity of Monroe, State 

 and Wabash avenue. Lange, Mangel and

It is reported that there is considerable 

 unrest among the smaller growers north

STOLE CARNATION PLANTS. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. is offering, 

 through the Joliet newspapers, $100 re- 

 ward for information leading to the ar- 

 rest and conviction of the man who 

 broke into their greenhouse of Fiancee 

 carnations at 2 a. m. Saturday, April 

 23. We are informed that the night 

 man saw the thief coming out of the 

 opening which he had made in the glass 

 with a glass cutter, with an armful of 

 plants, most of which he dropped in 

 his haste to escape. He had evidently 

 seen the night man approaching. It 

 will go hard with him if he is caught, 

 as this is not the first time the com- 

 pany has had new carnations stolen. 



ANONYMOUS. 



We are regularly in receipt of queries 

 and commimications which bear no sig- 

 nature and which, for that reason, fail 

 of the attention which they would other- 

 wise receive. A case in hand is a query 

 fiom a grower who wishes advice as to 

 the elevation necessary for a water tank, 

 and another is a poem expressive of ' ' the 

 writer's truest sentimente regarding the 

 Review," which we appreciate most 

 highly but must refrain from publish- 

 ing because we do not know the writ- 

 er's name. 



YouK paper is fine; sold small plants 

 all out. — GtrsTAV Pitzonka, Bristol, Pa.
