 readiness tor a big Easter business. 

 Some of the best growers in this vi- 

 cinity are regular consignors to this 

 Hrm.

 with an abscess in his ear. He is on 

 the way to recovery but daily trips to 

 the hospital are still necessary.

H. E. Humiston, of the Chicago Feed 

 & Fertilizer Co., has been advanced to 

 the position of manager of the fertil- 



izer deijartnient of florists and garden- 

 ers which was formerly in charge of 

 Guy Fridley. 



St. Patrick's Day furnished the trade 

 with considerable business this year. 

 Besides all the shamrocks sold in the 

 florists' stores, one department store 

 sold 30,00(1 plants on Friday and could 

 have sold many more on Saturday had 

 they been obtainable. Frank Oechslin 

 had a very heavy stock of shamrock, 

 which cleaned up before the repeat or- 

 ders came in. The (luality was un 

 usually good. 



The greenhouse construction com- 

 panies were well represented at the 

 St. Louis flower show and from their 

 reports it evidently was a good place 

 for business. The American Green- 

 house Manufacturing Co. has secured 

 the contract for two additional houses, 

 36 X 300, for the W. A. Rowe Floral 

 Co.. Kirkwood, Mo. Another of their 

 (customers who is a rose expert — ("has. 

 Steidle of Olivette, Mo. — will grow 

 Mrs. Russell, Ophelia, White Russell 

 and Mrs. Shawyer as his principal 

 stock next year. 



Miss Sietmann, of the J. A. Budloug 

 office force, is ill and Mrs. Philip 

 Schupp is again on duty. Mr. Schupp, 

 manager, says their large range of 

 houses will supply a high grade of 

 Easter stock this year and their ship- 

 ping trade will be supplied with 



flowers fresh from their own plants. 

 J. A. Budlong is one of the oldest 

 houses in Chicago, the third genera- 

 tion now taking a part in the business. 

 When the start was made, the land 

 was far out in the country, but now 

 it is well within the city limits. 



.Mr. and Mrs. Adoll)h Poehlmann 

 have been celebrating the 25th anni- 

 versary of their marriage. Mr. Poehl- 

 mann presides over Plant "B" at Mor- 

 ton Grove, where 47 houses, 27 x 3.50 

 ft., are devoted to roses, one-seventh 

 of which is ;\Irs. Chas. Russell. That 

 here is a fine outlook for Easter stock 

 is seen at a glance. At Plant "A" their 

 Easter trade will be supplied with 

 lilies from 10,000 plants of formosum. 

 while 25,000 pots of C.iganteum will fur- 

 nish the lily plants. There will be a 

 large supply of carnations, especially 

 in white and pink, if weather favors 

 the 172,000 plants in the carnation 

 range.
