CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Peonies. 

 Peonies have made a new record 

 this year. At this writing, May 22nd, 

 the market has been flooded with 

 them for over a weelv and thousands 

 of dozens have arrived too far open 

 for cold storage, and with no demand, 

 they become worthless in a sliort time. 

 The Chicago Carnation Co. are now 

 cutting their peonies at Joliet, 111., 

 and even closer to Chicago buds are 

 showing color. The first shipments 

 came in from Glen Ellen, twenty miles 

 north, today. Vaughan & Sperry are 

 using their entire force to put peonies 

 into cold storage as fast as possible. 

 The flowers are not quite so large as 

 in former years, because of the rapid 

 development by the excessive heat, 

 but the quality appears first class. 



A New Record. 

 The Weather Bureau recorded the 



Established 1874.

highest temperature for May since the 

 establishment of the department here. 

 Ninety degrees was reached day after 

 ■day, while nearer the earth 96 degrees 

 in the shade was not uncommon in va- 

 rious parts of the city. Under the 

 glass the plants had a severe test of 

 their powers of endurance, for this al- 

 most intolerable condition lasted over 

 a week. 



Trade Jottings. 



Chas. Erne has resigned his posi- 

 tion as head of the cut flower depart- 

 ment of the E. H. Hunt Co. No an- 

 nouncements are made yet as to Mr. 

 Erne's plans or as to who will be his 

 successor. 



J. P. Brooks of Morton Grove has 

 the material on the ground for three 

 new houses, 27 x 100 feet. The John 

 C. Moninger Co. furnish the material 

 and work will commence immediately 

 after Memorial Day. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. will open their 

 branch commission house on the sec- 

 ond floor of the Fairbanks Building, 

 next week. The manager, Nick Mil- 

 ler, is suffering from a badly sprained 

 shoulder, which has delayed the open- 

 ing. 



Fifty growers are now in the Flower 

 Growers' Association, and practically 

 all the stock is taken. A meeting for 

 completing all details preliminary to 

 opening will be held June 5th. With 

 so many new opportunities to handle 

 his stock next season, the grower can 

 feel confident that quality is going to 

 count more than ever. 



Geo. Walther, retail florist, 435 W. 

 63rd street, finds it worth while to 

 mail his customers a leaflet on the 

 care of plants at this time of the 

 year. It answers the double purpose 

 of giving practical help and advertis- 

 ing the store. This store has again 

 adopted the plan of closing at 6 

 o'clock three nights each week during 

 July and August. 



Hunt Bros, of Park Ridge, 111., are 

 growing some fine salpeglossis which 

 are 4 feet high and of beautiful color- 

 ing. They also grow the Dimorpao- 

 theca aurantiaca, the deep orange Af- 

 rican daisy and it proves a splendid 

 hot weather plant. As a window 

 flower it cannot be excelled in hot 

 weather as it withstands any amount 

 of heat; in fact, will not open in less 

 than 72 degrees. 



Personal. 



Mrs. Frank Beu is the latest to 



suffer with a very sore hand as the 

 result of injury handling stock. 



E. E. Peiser underwent the ordeal 

 of an examination at the Wesley Hos- 

 pital by five physicians Sunday. The 

 X-ray was used and a heart difficulty 

 located. 



Charlie Johnson of the Washington 

 Floral Co., is again about after a seri- 

 ous operation on his neck. A tumor 

 was removed and one week afterward 

 he was in the market again.
