The roses were the leader, a larger 

 number and better quality than ever 

 l»efore. A special feature was made 

 of plants trained to umbrella shape and 

 they were fine, the varieties being 

 Tausendschon and Dorothy Perkins. 

 Tausendschon is easily the best variety 

 on the list, partly on the score of 

 beauty, partly because of its amenabil- 

 ity to the grower's desires and partly 

 because it is so tenacious of its petals. 

 This late Easter Dorothy Perkins is 

 perfect, but it comes so slowly that it 

 was not forced last Easter, nor will it 

 be in 1917, when Easter is fifteen days 

 earlier than this year. Crimson Ram- 

 bler has been dropped; its sport, Erna 

 Teschendorflf, is used instead. Two va- 

 rieties grown in quantity this year for 

 the first time are Yvonne Rabier and 



Mme. Jules Gouchault. Rabier pro- 

 duces pure white, large double flowers 

 in great profusion; its one fault seems 

 to be that, like other white polyanthas, 

 it drops its petals quickly. Mr. 

 Oechslin's batch of it was a few days 

 earlier than he intended. Gouchault is 

 a splendid variety for basket work; 

 dwarf, bushy, with excellent foliage. 

 It produces large, stiff stems, carrying 

 erect panicles of numerous two-toned 

 flowers, darker on the outside of the 

 petals than within, vermilion red ma- 

 turing to bright rose. The retailers 

 took to this like a duck to a pond. 



Village Elections. 



In the village elections in Cook 

 county April 25, Adolph Poehlmann 

 was reelected police magistrate of Mor- 



ton Grove. August Poehlmann is vil- 

 lage president, his term running an- 

 other year. 



At Western Springs Albert Erickson 

 was elected village trustee. 



At Niles Center C. Blameuser was 

 elected a trustee. 



At Arlington Heights George Klehm 

 was elected a trustee. 



Women as Florists. 



"If your friends tell you that you 

 look 'so sweet among the flowers,' 

 don't imagine that you can, therefore, 

 make a financial success of flower 

 growing. No, indeed. To be success- 

 ful you must have capital, at least 

 $5,000 the first year, together with an 

 infinite capacity for painstaking 

 labor." This is according to Airs.
