palms from Europe, according to H. M. 

 Oeser. Thomas Conlon, superintendent 

 of the plant department, expects a ship- 

 ment of stove plants. The field crew 

 is planting out 250,000 carnations under 

 the direction of Tony Gabel. 



After every means known to medical 

 science had been exhausted. Miss Thora 

 Clemensen, 14-year-old daughter of C. 

 Clemensen, 7801 South Shore avenue,

 fiftieth anniversary of the advent of 

 the order in Chicago. 



A few days ago H. M. Berner, of 

 the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., took 

 a little run to the southland. He was 

 gone only a few days, but that was long 

 enough to sign up an order for a $20,000 

 greenhouse range with W. C. Alexander, 

 president of the W. C. Alexander Cut 

 Flower & Plant Co., of Bluefield, W. Va. 

 Mr. Alexander was formerly of Charles- 

 ton, W. Va. 



Though not obtrusively evident at the

 mand for doves during the Easter rush. 

 Joseph Ziska & Sons, who had been 

 congratulating themselves on their 

 ample supply, were completely sold out

Among the week's visitors has been
