WE HAVE A FINE SUMMER CROP OF ROSES 



You will not be disappointed with our Summer Roses. There are none better on the Chicago Market. Good'quality 

 Carnations, fine for shipping, still coming in. We also have a complete line of other summer flower stock. 



Shipping orders a specialty. 



Order here— you can't do better elsewhere— often not nearly so well.

 hard work and capable management. 



That locally-grown orchids have been 

 the best property on the market during 

 June is the statement of 11. Van Gelder, 

 of Percy Jones, Inc., who says even 

 now, with eastern orchids to be had in 

 quantity, the call for local stock ex- 

 ceeds the supply. 



C. J. Michelsen is looking for an un- 

 usually good summer business in this 

 market this year. He bases his belief 

 on the decreased production of garden 

 flowers, the excellent business being 

 done in the cities and towns that draw 

 on Chicago, and the fact that vacations 

 will consume less than usual of people's 

 time and money. 



The Albany Nurseries, which have 

 been operated as a spring catchpenny, 



on Madison street, near the W. W. 

 Barnard Co., has closed the store. It 

 is a corporation of which Charles A. 

 Meinersmann, a landscape architect 

 who operates two retail flower stores, is 

 ostensibly the head, but it is said the 

 backing was by Mr. Lehmann, of the 

 Fair. Report has it that the store has 

 done $13,000 or $14,000 of business in

 have been so high there has not been 

 a great deal of profit in it. 



The matter of coal prices being to 

 the front .just now, it will be of interest 

 to note tliat Peter Reinberg, Wietor 

 Bros, and other large growers in the 

 city, who feel under the necessity of 

 using smokeless coal, have contracted 



for their season's supply of Pocahon- 

 tiis at $3 per ton at the mine, as against 

 $1.35 last year. Transportation will 

 cost $2.30, making the fuel cost $5.30 

 this season, compared to $3.50 last sea- 

 son. 



At the home of Charles Erne it is the 

 rule to celebrate the centennial of the 

 signing of the Declaration of Inde- 

 pendence — because Mr. Erne arrived 

 in this world of many joys July 4, 1876. 



George Wienhoeber, who now has 

 been in business for himself two years 

 and a half, says May and June have 

 been excellent months, from one-third 

 to one-half better than last year. 



At Winterson's Seed Store it is said 

 the cut flower business has been remark- 

 ably steady this season. The sales of
