W. H. Gullett, senior member of the 

 firm of Gullett & Son of Lincoln, 111., 

 was brought to Chicago for an opera- 

 tion last week. Reports from Mercy 

 Hospital are that the patient is rest- 

 ing easily and a complete recovery is 

 expected. 



The Peony Market. 



Among the peony growers who are 

 heavy shippers to the Chicago cut 

 flower markets are H. H. Fisher of 

 Kalamazoo, Mich., and Gilbert H. Wild 

 of Sarcoxie, Mo. The latter has 

 twelve acres of peonies and gives his 

 whole attention to this specialty. He 

 has been in the business over fifteen 

 years and his peonies go to all points. 

 6000 dozen came to Kennicott Bros, 

 tor Memorial Day. Mr. Wild is search- 

 ing for a red that will come in in time 

 for Memorial Day in Chicago. The 

 reds that are the best for the more 

 southern trade are not the varieties 

 that will ship here at this time. Mr. 

 Wild mentions as the most useful 

 market varieties Festiva Maxima and 

 Queen Victoria for white and L'Esper- 

 ance, Delicatissimo and Dorchester for 

 pink. Mr. Fisher grows Richardson's 

 Rubra Superba for red and likes it, 

 but Mr. Wild finds it a shy bloomer 

 seeming to need the northern climate. 



Among new varieties there is a deep 

 red introduced by Rosenfeld which 

 promises to be valuable. Felix 

 Crousse is also a good red. Grace D. 

 Bryan, also by Rosenfeld, now prom- 

 ises well. Emperor William is an- 

 other red and a fair producer. 



Peony growers have much to learn 

 as to the great value of properly 

 bunching peonies for shipping. Many 

 are bunched irregularly and such stock 

 sells much lower than that which has 

 been carefully handled and evenly 

 bunched — that is. with the flowers all 

 on a level. 



Among the Growers. 



Florists handling bedding stock have 

 had one of the busiest weeks following 

 Memorial Day they have ever known. 

 The backward spring has prolonged 

 this part of the trade and it will take 

 another two weeks to finish up the 

 stock. As most of the growers in- 

 crease* their output this year and it is 

 all going to clean up, it must follow 

 that the volume of business is larger 

 than ever before.
