H. BAYERSDORFER & CO. 



1129 Arch Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



to their displays, witu the result that 

 the growers in this vicinity have more 

 call for unusually large, fine or rare 

 specimens than is normally the case. 

 A short time ago Podesta & Baldocchi 

 had on display at their Grant avenue 

 shop a rhododendron plant, said to be 

 the finest specimen ever shown here; 

 this week Pelicano, Rossi & Co. have 

 in their window on Kearny street an 

 elaborate showing of orchids, includ- 

 ing a Cattleya Mossiae from tlie Berk- 

 eley establishment of J. A. Carbone, 

 bearing 200 blooms, and other notable 

 displays are weekly making their ap- 

 pearance. 



The Convention Garden of the So- 

 ciety of American Florists in Golden 

 Gate Park is rapidly being prepared 

 under the supervision of John Mc- 

 Laren, superintendent of the park. 

 Fifteen men are employed there at 

 present. Some fine exhibits from 

 various large nurserymen and florists 

 will be Installed this month. Ten 

 thousand feet of space have already 

 been subscribed for and applications 

 for space and further particulars are 

 beginning to come in more freely from 

 the east, which is gratifying to the 

 local committee, as practically all the 

 space so far reserved has been taken 

 by Pacific Coast growers. Tliis ex- 

 hibit will undoubtedly be of great in- 

 terest to the eastern delegates, as 

 many plants shown in the open here 

 are grown under glass in the East and 

 Middle West. 



CHICAGO NOTES. 



A. E. Hunt has taken a part of the 



store occupied by D. E. Frerers, in the 

 Atlas Block. 



R. Schmidt, of Frank Schmidt's, and 

 family are visiting in Ohio and Ken- 

 tucky for ten days. 



The Harry Rowe store will be ready 

 for Kyle & Forester about May 15, 

 Soon there will be so many florists on 

 the ground floor that the upper floors 

 will have to offer extra inducements 

 to customers. 



John Sinner and Martha Guuterberg 

 have given up their wholesale store 

 in the Fairbanks Bldg. and moved 

 into the Atlas Block, at 158 N. Wa- 

 bash Ave., vhere J. B. Deaniud was 

 formerly. They have taken out a three 

 years' lease on the main floor. 



From the florists' standpoint the 

 month of April was too warm and too 

 dry and the footings in the sales books 

 show a poor month financially. To 

 the growers the drouth has meant pos- 

 sil)ilities of problems later. Every 

 one was glad when the new month 

 came in cold and a much needed rain 

 followed. 



John Walsh, of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' .Association, is rejoicing in 

 the recovery of a fine gold watch. 

 which was stolen from the store dur- 

 ing the Prosperity Parade, a week ago. 

 It was found at a pawn shop, but the 

 cliain is still missing. Two years ago 

 John Walsh and Mike Fink both had 

 their watches stolen from the store 

 and neither one was recovered. 



Mathew Mann in speaking of the 

 changes caused by the death of his 

 partner, John Zech, said that Allie 

 Zech would become at once the man- 

 ager of the store and take his father's 

 place in the business. He is one of 

 the young men in the trade. Like his 

 father, he has a natural aptitude for 

 the florist business and has had sev- 

 eral years' training. His friends wish 

 him success in his new and responsi- 

 ble position.
