S long-lived as it. The Peony is the best value for the money in the flower market. We E

-venture of the Fleischman Floral Co., 

 under the management of John Ghorm- 

 ley. Since Fleischman gave it up it 

 has been used by a milliner, the con- 

 servatory in the rear having been cleared 

 of benches and piping and made into a 

 workroom. The entire place required a 

 thorough renovation and redecoration, 

 which is now in progress. It is one of 

 the best corners on the north side, and 

 Mr. Adams, who has the capable assist- 

 ance of Mrs. Adams as saleslady, expects 

 to double his business there. It will be 

 quite a florists' neighborhood: The Jegen 

 store is in the same block, with E. Wien- 

 hoeber just around the corner on the 

 next street south. 



Many growers noted that last season 

 they obtained their best prices for pom- 

 pon mums either early or late, low prices 

 prevailing while the season was at its 

 height. B. Scheflfler, at Wheaton, had 

 a new yellow variety that he did not 

 begin to cut until December 10. It made 



him the best prices of the season, and 

 this year he intends to plant a whole 

 house of it. He knows it as Golden Wed- 

 ding. 



The members of the firm of French & 

 Salm were down from Union Grove, Wis., 

 May 7. The plan to add to the range 

 there has been abandoned, at least for 

 the present, but it is reported other plans 

 for branching out are under considera- 

 tion. 



April 30 was the biggest day of the 

 season with the E. Wienhoeber Co. In 

 addition to the regular business, there 

 was the family order for the Isham 

 funeral, one of the largest the north side 

 old residential section has seen. 



A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co., 

 has returned from a business trip of ten 

 days, through Michigan, Ohio and In- 

 diana. As indicating the popularity of 

 Darwin tulips, he booked one order for 

 150,000 Darwins for delivery this fall. 



The mail of May 7 was much the 



largest since April 2, reports the E. C. 

 Amling Co., and insured a satisfactory 

 volume of shipping for Mothers' day. 



The demolition of the old building at 

 the southeast corner of Wabash avenue 

 and Monroe street has caused Harry C. 

 Eowe to form an association with the 

 Bohannon Floral Co. It was foreknowl- 

 edge of the wrecking of this building 

 that caused L. E. Bohannon to move 

 some months ago to 75 East Monroe 

 street, where he now has^ one of the 

 handsomest stores in the city. Mr. 

 Eowe's name also appears on the 

 window. 



Darwin tulip Pride of Haarlem is giv- 

 ing Pyfer & Olsem splendid results this 

 month. The stems are nearly three feet 

 long. 



The death of Eosa Pieser, 84 years of 

 age, occurred May 4. Mrs. Pieser was 

 the mother of the Pieser brothers, 

 Enlilhiel E. and Gabriel B», for many 

 years officers of the Kennicott Bros. Co.
