turning strongly in favor of the Ameri- 

 cati importing houses which take ad- 

 vantage of the opportunity now pre- 

 sented. He says that his concern is 

 doing much the largest business in its 

 history and has a big bulb season ahead. 



Last week afforded the largest total 

 of sales of any week in the history of 

 the E. C. Amling Co., exceeding not 

 only all previous Easters, but Christmas 

 as well. It was Sam Pearce's lilies 

 which did it. 



In the early hours of Easter morning 

 the police arrested four men on Paul 

 Klingsporn 's Moline-Knight, stolen 

 from his garage eight days previously. 

 It was at Forty-eighth and Halsted 

 streets, with the tires flat, badly cut and 

 the whole new car showing the effects 

 of hard usage. Mr. Klingsporn was 

 fully insured, but regrets the abuse of 

 a machine which was giving perfect 

 service. 



The A. L. Randall Co., holding a lease 

 on the third floor of the Lemoyne build- 

 ing, has sublet the south half to a 

 tenant outside the trade and is fitting 

 up the north half, a room 115x170, as 

 a display room for the willow furni- 

 ture, fountain, artificial flower and 

 other departments not exclusively for 

 florists. A private stairway is being 

 put in to connect the third floor with 

 the second, making the new show room 

 seem much closer than when the public 

 stairway or elevators were relied on. 

 The change will provide space on the 

 second floor for the enlargement of the 

 departments catering only to florists, 

 also for the steadily growing office 

 force. 



In a few days there probably will be 

 large quantities of indoor gladioli on 

 the market, as dozens of growers plant- 

 ed them in empty spaces, but Weiland- 

 Eisch Co., at the Evanston greenhouses, 

 were the first to begin cutting, so far 

 as heard from. They had a nice lot for 

 Easter and did well with them. 



The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation got its big new basement ship- 

 ping room into operation in time to be 

 of great service in handling the Easter 

 trade, which is reported to have doubled 

 last year's record. There is a fine new 

 storage refrigerator, 9x20, in the ship-

Some of the best lilies that came to 

 this market were from the Dale Estate, 

 Brampton. They appeared to be from 

 the 1918 crop of giganteum bulbs, which 

 were refused admission to this country 

 but not to Canada. 



It must be that Frank Oeohslin had 

 his best Easter. His stock seemed to 



be in every good store in town, indicat- 

 ing that he had a large supply, and the 

 roses were so near perfect that it will 

 be difficult ever to have better. It is 

 intimated that he did not fail to ap- 

 preciate their value and the light com- 

 petition. 



Since the last holiday, Christmas,
