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 cut flower stock. 



Shipping orders a specialty. 



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



sold for the first time last spring. It is 

 explained that Mr. Then's stock of the 

 variety was planted out ou Mr. Eein- 

 berg's farm, from which grew the pres- 

 ent arrangement. Mr. Reinberg has 

 grown 500,000 carnation plants in the 

 field this summer in addition to his own 

 requirements. 



W. J. Smyth and family are summer- 

 ing as usual at Lake Marie, Antioch, 

 111. Mr. Smyth drives the Pierce-Ar- 

 row to the store once in a week or two to 

 treat himself to the sight of all hands 

 hustling on funeral work, which is re- 

 ported as unusually heavy this month. 



As indicating that it will be a long 

 time before this market will be short 

 of valley, even with no further imports 

 of German pips, P. C. Schupp states that 

 the excellent valley now coming from 



the J. A. Budlong establishment is of 

 pips of the 1915 importation, the 1916 

 stock still lying untouched in cold stor- 

 age. 



A. Miller, president of the American 

 Bulb Co., returned July 8 from his 

 honeymoon trip to Yellowstone park. 

 At tlie same time came a large shipment 

 of freesia bulbs from the company's 

 representative now on the Pacific coast, 

 the first freesias seen on the market 

 this season. 



N. J. Wietor states that it was the 

 difficulty in securing day laborers which 

 caused his firm to undertake replanting 

 earlier this season than usual, every- 

 thing now being set for 1917-18 except 

 a few mums and part of the carnations. 

 The first roses planted already are giv- 

 ing a cut. The space given to Beauties 



has been reduced one-half again this 

 year, the plants of it on the benches 

 now not exceeding 20,000. The space 

 taken from Beauty has been given to 

 Russell and Ophelia. 



C. L. Washburn , who is visiting the 

 Bassett & Washburn brancli in Cali- 

 fornia, writes that he found the three 

 generations of the Bassett family resi- 

 dent there enjoying excellent health. 

 O. P. Bassett was 82 years of age 

 March 31. His grandson, E. B. Wash- 

 burn, now has three bouncing boys. 

 Mr. Washburn plans to start for home 

 July 15.

 of A. T. Pyfer & Co., July 9 bought the
