Bichmond and Ophelia have made good 

 in every particular in the greenhouses 

 of Hoerber Bros., at Des Plaines, and 

 now they are satisfied beyond a perad- 

 venture that Hoosier Beauty ranks with 

 the best as a profitable rose to grow. 

 Though not as prolific as Killarney, it 

 has fine color when well done and with 

 them it has proved a most excellent 

 shipper. 



In preparation for the June wedding 

 season, George Wienhoeber is running an 

 attractive card in the street cars that 

 pass his door. It shows a bride with a 

 large bouquet that cost "$8 and up." 

 Mr. Wienhoeber is a skillful publicity 

 man and on the card the name is printed 

 in a special color that makes it stand 

 out and cling in the memory. 



A transfer of that part of the Witt- 

 bold greenhouse property which fronts 

 on Buckingham place, 125 feet east of 

 Halsted street, was made a matter of 

 record last week. It is preliminary to 

 the construction by Louis and Fred 

 Wittbold of the Buckingham Court 

 apartments on 125x225 feet of frontage. 

 The tract was first conveyed by the 

 WittboldS to the Chicago Title & 

 Trust Co., and then the trust company 

 conveyed to the Buckingham Court 

 Apartments. ' It is understood the build- 

 ing, which will be of high grade char- 

 acter, will contain thirty-eight apart- 

 ments and one store and will cost in 

 excess of $100,000. The George Witt- 

 bold Co. will occupy the store for re- 

 tail purposes. 



A man who is believed, from papers 

 in his pockets, to have been Andrew 

 Matson, a florist of 1749 North Western 

 avenue, killed himself April 30 in a 

 restaurant in Milwaukee. The man or- 

 dered and ate a large steak and was un- 

 able to pay for it. When the waiter 

 insisted on the money the man swal- 

 lowed poison and died in a few min- 

 utes. 



Invitations have been issued by the 

 officers for the meeting of the Florists' 

 Club at the Hotel Morrison, Thursday 

 evening, May 4. 



Speaking of substitutes for white 

 carnations for Mothers' day, H. B. 

 Kennicott, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says he has received word from his 

 growers that he may expect white 

 peonies in time for the Mothers' day

Mention The Rerlew when yon wrlf. 



rush. This should help some, he thinks. 



The demand for adiantum last week 



was, according to Eric Johnson, of the 



A. L. Bandall Co., almost unprecedented. 



During one day, he says, that house 

 alone sold 22,000 adiantum. Nor was 

 Mexican ivy slow, as 15,000 were sold 

 the same day.
