ings of the elaborate new store he will 

 open before next season starts. W. 

 Abrahamson, manager of the Bandall 

 fixture department, has been on a trip 

 in Ohio this week to have a look at 

 contracts that are in progress. 



Cassimir Oouza figures that peonies 

 will be good property for Mothers' day 

 this year. There will not be many, be- 

 cause Mothers' day is three days earlier 

 than the usual date and the peonies in 

 most places in the middle south are ten 

 days late. 



VaxiouB Notes. 



Mangel & Co., who operate the big 

 store in the Palmer House and a smaller 

 one in the Blackstone hotel, have made 

 a contract for the flower store privi- 

 lege in the new Drake hotel, now being 

 erected on the Gold Coast. The new 

 store is to be 20x30, adjoining the main 

 entrance, where there are to be about 

 a dozen specialty shops of the highest 

 character. The date of the opening is 

 tentatively set for November. 



At Morton Grove Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. has been working full force at 

 replanting. Between February 1 and 15 

 eleven houses were replanted with 

 young stock of Columbia, a total of 

 100,000 plants, all of this variety. Was 

 there ever a stronger demonstration of 

 faith in a reset Continuing the re- 

 planting operations, 75,000 Premier, 

 young stock, have gone on the benches 

 to date. To make room for the newer 

 varieties, Killarney Brilliant, Richmond, 

 Killarney and Ophelia have been re- 

 duced, the Killarneys now being prac- 

 tically extinct. Large crops now are 

 being cut in the rose houses. 



Eugene C. Bowen has sold the lease 

 of the Argyle Posy Shop, 1046 Argfyle 

 street, and will vacate May 1. He fig- 

 ured that the profit on the deal would 

 warrant a vacation and that he will 

 start in business again when he finds 

 another suitable location. 



W. J. Smyth is moving this week. 

 Not his store — his residence. The old 

 home place in Englewood, where the 

 Smyth family has lived for many years, 

 was sold a few months ago and May 1 

 they will be domiciled in an apartment 

 in Woodlawn.
