week boosted business in Cicero, ac- 

 cording to a report from J. J. Kolar & 

 Son, 5136 West Twenty-fifth street, who 

 have been enjoying an increased vol- 

 ume of trade. But then, it may not 

 be the weather, but the service. 



At Winterson's Seed Store comment 

 is made on the retail sale for "Wash-* 

 ington brand" cherry trees. Well- 

 known standard varieties are offered 

 under this name, well-grown, Indiana 

 trees, with good roots, and they are 

 said to sell steadily at $1, $2 and $3 

 each in competition with 35-cent trees 

 advertised by department stores. It is 

 a daily occurrence to see a lady taking- 

 her cherry tree away in an electric 

 automobile. 



The truth of the old adage, "Where 



there 's a will there 'b a way, ' ' has been 



proved recently by O. A. & L. A. Ton- 



;jier, who have already worked up a 



Jigood business in their new quarters.

Visitors. 



The Morton Grove greenhouses of the 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. were visited April 

 9 by a select party of out-of-town flo- 

 rists under the able guidance of- Arnold 

 .Rlngier, Bobert Newcomb aiid Thomas 

 McAlister. The visitors were: Daniel 

 MacRorie and Angelo J. Bossi, both of 

 San Francisco; James Forbes, Portland, 

 ■ Ore., and Samuel Murray, Kansas Oity. 

 i/The visitors were well entertained and 

 '-greatly enjoyed the trip. 

 • Xavier Wojtkiewicz, of Niles Center, 

 Mich., was a visitor on the Chicago 

 market last week, 

 i [ H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, Wil- 

 'mette and Chicago, is again in town. 

 Mr. Philpott spends so much of his time 

 traveling that it is not an easy matter 

 to keep track of his movements. 



W. Li. Bock and wife were in town 

 April 10 on their way home to Kansas 

 City after attending the Philadelphia 

 and New York shows. 



A. C. Zvolanek, sweet pea specialist 

 ; of Lompoc, Cal., is here on his way 

 , home from an eastern trip. 

 ■' A. E. Kunderd, the Goshen, Ind., gla- 

 diolus specialist, was a recent visitor.

The Market. 



Business continues to hold up well 

 and there is a good supply of stock 

 coming in. Boses are more plentiful 

 and some extra fine stock can easily be 

 had, especially of the newer varieties, 

 which are showing up well and give in- 

 dications of a bumper crop at Easter. 

 Bed roses continue to have their call 

 and it is surprising how they are cleared 

 during the Lenten season, when it is 

 usually difficult to dispose of them. Car- 

 nations are plentiful, but they are de- 

 creasing in size somewhat. Lilies are 

 m^Ore plentiful and many are used in 

 fttnerad work, which continues heavy. 

 Bulbous stock is abundant and the out- 

 look is good for Easter along this line, 

 as everyone seems to have much of this 

 stock left. Sweet peas hold their own 

 both in quality and quantity, and all 

 that come into the market are quickly 

 sold. Snapdragon was in abundant sup- 

 pi v last week. Pot plants for Easter 

 will not be so plentiful as usual, but 

 ^there nevertheless will be a largfe num-
