The Peony as a cut flower plays a big part in the 

 Chicago Market. 



In the esteem of the public it stands out promi- 

 nently for its attractiveness and its keeping 

 qualities. 



"Thoroughbred Peonies" for 41 seasons have main- 

 tained for us a reputation as the "Peony House 

 of America."

trial in the hope that after a brief ob- 

 servation of it the few who are holding 

 out will come into the fold. 



The service fee does not apply to 

 shipping orders; it is not expected out- 

 of-town buyers will help pay for adver- 

 tising flowers to the Chicago public. 



"Get a Horn." 



In spite of the busy season, numerous 

 members of the trade devoted a con- 

 siderable part of May 5 to the affairs of 

 the midsummer Pageant of Progress. 

 Twenty-eight persons, representing 

 nearly all branches of the trade, at- 

 tended a noon meeting at the Randolph 

 hotel. The committee reported that par- 

 ticipation in the pageant necessitates 

 raising a fund of approximately $25,000 

 and, after discussion, it was decided to 

 ask the trade to subscribe that sum. 

 The result was largely due to the en- 

 thusiasm of Everette R. Peacock, who 

 asserted that never in his experience 

 had well planned publicity failed to pay. 

 His view that, although the pageant 

 comes at the worst time of the year for 

 florists, the results of the display will 

 be apparent all through the following 

 season was shared by Prof. J. C. Blair 

 and Prof. H. B. Dorner, of the Uni- 

 versity of Illinois, who were present. 



It is the plan to combine the florists', 

 seed and nursery sections and several 

 exhibitors stand ready to take good 

 blocks of space for commercial purposes. 

 The balance will b% used for a general 

 flower show, for which $5,000 in pre- 

 miums will be paid by the management. 

 The parks will help make the general 

 display.

 committee and feels that there will be
