CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Miscellaneous Trade News. 



The dealer with the longest shipping 

 list is the most fortunate just now. 



Elmer SigTvald of Arlington Heights 

 is just completing three new carnation 

 houses. Mr. Sigwald prefers White 

 Lawson for a steady blooming white. 



The Batavla Floral Co. were right 

 in their first estimate of the damage to 

 their peony crop. All the main huds 

 were destroyed and only the laterals 

 are blooming now and the quality is 

 poor. 



The E. H. Hunt Co. has been over- 

 hauling their show room and putting 

 things in order after the spring rush. 

 Their shelves show an unusually com- 

 plete line of glassware, including many 

 choice novelties in vases. 



At Frank Beu's stand in the Flower 

 Growers' Market, this week, are seen 

 red poppies of immense size that are 

 sold almost as fast as unpacked at 

 $1.00 per dozen. Some very tall lark- 

 spur are also attracting attention here. 

 Klem Bros., of Arlington Heights, 

 who are the largest peony growers of 

 this vicinity, are cutting about one- 

 half a crop. Their nursery stock was 

 not killed, but all bloom was destroyed 

 and their cherry orchards are entirely 

 without fruit. They are planting fifty 

 acres of apple trees. 



A strikingly beautiful out-of-door 

 decoration was achieved by Poehlmann 

 Bros, last week for the commencement 

 exercises of the Morton Grove school, 

 from which Earl, son of August Poehl- 

 mann, was graduated. A setting of 

 green on an immense scale was con- 

 st cuoied and 4000 roses were used in 

 clusters and garlands. It required the 

 labor of fifteen men two days to com- 

 plete it. 



Some of the wholesalers complain of 

 a falling off in popularity of the peony, 

 and say the same thing in a less degree 

 was noticeable last year. The prolong- 

 ing of the peony season by cold storage 

 and shipments from the South, and the 

 increased cultivation of this flower in 

 private gardens are thought to be the 

 cause of its decline. Customers claim 

 it is becoming common; certainly it 

 has not figured conspicuously in the 

 prominent June weddings this year. 



A. E. Hunt of Evanston is expected 

 home this week from his trip to the 

 Pacific Coast. He writes that he has 

 purchased land near Seattle, Wash., 

 upon which he will erect a greenhouse 

 plant in the near future. His brother. 

 H. H. Hunt ot Park Ridge, will have 

 charge of the business here with his 

 father and another brother, all of 

 whom are well known and highly re- 

 spected florists. A. E. Hunt made a 

 trip West last year and became con- 

 vinced that there were opportunities 

 there for him. 



For Seed Trade Meeting. 

 Among the western delegates, off for 

 the Seedsmen's Convention at Atlantic 

 City, N. J., are: S. F. Leonard, Mr. 

 and Mrs. Ed. Leonard, L. W. Vaughan 

 and J. C. Robinson of Chicago, Kirby 

 B. White of Detroit, and Henry G. 

 Windheim of Nebraska Seed Co., 

 Omaha, Neb. The latter two joined 

 the Chicago party. 



Personal. 

 Ernest Farley of McKellar's is visit- 

 ing his parents at Indianapolis, Ind. 



Geo. Heidenrich, head of Bassett & 

 Washburn's shipping force, will be 

 married to Elfreida Prillwitz at St. 

 Ann, 111., June 26. 



AUie Zeck has returned after several 

 months' absence and finds Chicago is 

 as good or a little better than any 

 place he has visited. 



Chicago Visitors: L. A. Coles, Koko- 

 mo, Ind.; Mr. Dole of Dole Floral Co., 

 Beatrice, Neb.; F. L. Tornquist, Ben- 

 ton Harbor, Mich.; Wm. Finnegan, 

 Toledo, Ohio; J. Lambert, Sabula 

 Floral Co., Sabula, Iowa. 



PERSONAL. 



Col. W. W. Castle and wife, of Bos- 

 ton, have gone to Cleveland, Ohio, to 

 attend the wedding of the Colonel's 

 neice, who is one of the heiresses of 

 that prosperous city. After the wed- 

 ding they may extend their trip as far 

 as Detroit where several of the Castle 

 Automatic Circulators are doing good 

 work for enterprising greenhouse men, 

 returning via New York. 



Among the visitors in Boston is Mr. 

 W. J. Bean, superintendent of Kew Gar- 

 dens, London, England, who is taking 

 notes at the Arnold Arboretum. Mr. 

 Bean had an exceptional opportunity 

 to see a section of New England land- 

 scape in its dress of laurel bloom on 

 Monday last, when in company of J. 

 K. M. L. Farquhar and Wm. J. Stewart 

 he visited Nashua, and with Judge 

 Hoitt and General Anderson took a 

 100-mile ride through southeastern New 

 Hampshire in General Anderson's auto. 

 Herman G. Kretschmar, ot Flatbush, 

 N. Y., with his wife, oldest son and 

 daughter, will sail on July 9, by S. S. 

 Vaderlan.1, for a European tour, includ- 

 ing London, Antwerp, Paris, Switzer- 

 land and Holland and then his native 

 home in Germany, returning from 

 Hamburg, Sept. 29 by S. S. Cleveland. 

 Mrs. Kretschmar is a native of 

 Rochester, N. Y., and absence from the 

 Convention this year will not be with- 

 out regret on their part and on the 

 part of many who know Mr. Kretsch- 

 mar as a faithful S. A. F. attendant.
