Mention The Review when you write. 



It was by a narrow margin that C. 

 J. Michelsen escaped being laid up 

 during the Memorial day rush. He 

 was carrying; so large a load of Deonies. 

 May 24, that he could not see over 

 them and stumbled over a truck that 

 someone had left in an aisle of the 

 Amling store. The contusions result- 

 ing would have put him in bed at any 

 less busy time. 



Ophelia is well liked by nearly all 

 growers, but there are few with whom 

 it succeeds as it does with Meyer & 

 Dramm Co., at Elmhurst. Not only 

 does one pinch give long, strong stems, 

 but the flowers have great substance 

 and keeping quality, due to an un- 

 usual number of petals. 



There is some uncertainty in the 

 market as to how war will affect the 

 trade, but H. B. Kennicott says that if 



we may judge the future by the past 

 tliere is no cause for alarm. Mr. Ken- 

 nicott means by that to emphasize the 

 point that the business of Kennicott 

 Bros. Co., of which he is president, has 

 been larger since war with Germany 

 was declared than it has been at any 

 time previous. 



At Park Eidge^ Emil Buettner con- 

 fines his attention to roses, except for 

 a crop of chrysanthemums and an- 

 other of Easter lilies, which serve to 

 keep the benches busy when not oc- 

 cupied by young rose plants. A few 

 years ago Mr. Buettner tried cold stor- 

 age lilies as an all-the-year-round crop, 

 but concluded the conditions of the 

 market were not propitious. This year 

 he will try it again, believing the 

 market for lilies has improved. 



Although a sprained ankle has caused 



Allie Zech, of Zech & Mann, much pain, 

 lie was nevertheless on the floor helping 

 to get out the exceptionally large num- 

 ber of orders which the firm shipped 

 for Memorial day. 



Joseph Ziska & Sons report a large 

 call for wooden easels. This item, John 

 Ziska says, is proving a most profit- 

 able one and he wonders at the fact 

 that other firms have dropped or 

 diminished their stock of wooden easels 

 as bemg unprofitable. 



All planting has been finished at the 

 greenhouses of Peter Eeinberg. The 

 carnation field has also been planted. 



That the trade throughout the coun- 

 try IS looking for good business in the 

 next year despite the war is the opinion 

 of Clifford Pruner, of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. Of course, he says, there are al- 

 ways the lugubrious blue men who
