day business is reported by C. Frauen- 

 felder, 3343 West Madison street. He 

 says the buying public is less inclined 

 to place advance orders than formerly, 

 but the increased number of eleventh- 

 hour orders, in his opinion, brings the 

 total amount of business done to a 

 much higher average. He is especially 

 busy with funeral orders. 



Mrs. Flint Kennicott and her daugh- 

 ter, Miss Alice Kennicott, mother and 

 sister of H. B. Kennicott, of Kennicott 

 Bros. Co., will return from their win- 

 ter home in Florida, June 8. With their 

 return, the Kennicott country home, at 

 The Grove, northwest of Chicago, will 

 be opened and Mr. Kennicott will motor 

 to and from his office. He has had his 

 new Saxon about fifteen days and in 

 that time has covered 1,200 miles. 



The week end was most enjoyably 

 spent by Philip C. Schupp, manager of 

 the J. A. Budlong wholesale house, far 

 from the maddening crowd. The result 

 of his trip will probably appear later 

 in the collection cabinet of the Chicago 

 Historical Society. 



The wife of John Walsh, of the Chi- 

 cago Flower Growers' Association, who 

 recently recovered from a serious opera- 

 tion, has returned much strengthened 

 from a month's visit in the country.

The Idarket. 



Business last week was all that could 

 be desired. Peonies were not in time 

 for Memorial day, but other flowers 

 were plentiful and in good demand. 

 Carnations were not in oversupply and 

 prices held high fbr this time of the 

 year. Eoses were sufficient for require- 

 ments. Those who had a good supply 



of outdoor flowers found a ready mar- 

 ket. As usual, one of the features of 

 the Memorial day business was the 

 large demand for flowers to decorate 

 the graves in the cemeteries. This is 

 becoming more general every year and 

 florists had many out-of-town shipments 

 for this purpose. Even people in mod- 

 erate circumstances now buy flowers to 

 decorate the graves of their departed. 

 Bedding stock, window boxes and 

 baskets still are in big demand, owing 

 to the backward spring, and florists are 

 riished to the limit of endurance. They 

 will be glad when the rush is over, so 

 that other necessary work may be at- 

 tended to. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Bills, of Davenport, had a fine 

 lot of sweet peas of extra quality, for 

 which he found a ready market.
