roses to go around. Carnations are not 

 in full crop; Mqthers' day, three weeks 

 later, is likely to see a larger cut than 

 at Easter. Violets are out of the run- 

 ning, but there will be large supplies 

 of sweet peas. These are the big items; 

 the others will be in the usual supply. 

 Among the wholesalers there has been 

 some expression of surprise that the 

 market's leaders did not strike out for 

 higher prices, considering all conditions. 



Various Notes. 



Some people think that success as a 

 grower comes as a matter of good for- 

 tune and there is an idea among re- 

 tailers that your good grower haa it 

 "pretty soft," but one gets a glimpse 

 of the other side of the picture when it 

 is stated that in the fourteen years Ed- 

 ward Meuret has been in business at 

 Park Bidge he has slei t off the place 

 just one night! There is more than 

 skill in being a go.d grower; there is 

 painstaking and unremitting attention 

 to business. 



The Albert F. Amling Co., Maywood, 

 recently has added to its real estate 

 holdings a tract of land lying between 

 the present property and the Soo Line 

 railroad, so that it now will be possible 

 to get a railroad connection directly in- 

 to the greenhouse property without go- 

 ing off the company's own land. 



Mrs. Ward rose will practically dis- 

 appear from this market in the next few 

 weeks. Most of the growers discarded 

 it two or three years ago and now Wend- 

 land & Keimel Co., Elmhurst, the larg- 

 est producers of it during the last two 

 seasons, are throwing it out to make 

 room, principally for Columbia and Rose 

 Premier. 



Vern Schluraff has opened a new 

 flower store at 11243 Michigan avenue. 

 Mr. Schluraff formerly was in business 

 for himself at Erie, Pa., but for two 

 years was employed in the store of J. M. 

 Cochrane, 11405 Michigan avenue, where 

 a large business is done. Mr. Schluraff 

 recently returned from the army. 



That Easter orders at this date exceed 

 anything in the history of the E, C. 

 Amling Co., is the report of C. J. Mich- 

 elsen. 



At Wheaton E. Scheffler this season 

 tried iris for the first time. He had 

 fine success with tingitana and now is 

 beginning to cut a splendid batch of 

 filiSolia. These are two of the flowers 

 which will be missed from the market
